You're the guy who has it together—on paper, at least. Good job, responsible, maybe a father or partner. But inside? Different story. The overthinking won't stop. You snap at people you care about. You shut down instead of opening up. Or you just feel off—disconnected from who you want to be.
Or maybe you're a teen figuring out who you are amid everyone else's expectations. School pressure, identity questions, cultural dynamics, not fitting anywhere.
Many of my clients are men and young men—especially Latino—balancing achievement, family expectations, and identity. You're making it work, but barely. And you're tired.

I wholeheartedly believe that you are your own expert on your life. Through therapy, my goal is to help you identify and work through the challenges and obstacles that may be standing in the way of gratifying relationships, a satisfying work life, and living the life you wish to lead. Your problems are not what define you as a person. I am interested in helping you clearly express your strengths, hopes, and values, which may have become lost amidst life's struggles. I do my best to create a safe and supportive environment with warmth, respect, kindness, curiosity, and a little humor.

Hi there, I'm Rickey! I have been practicing as a psychotherapist for over 7 years. My Master's in Social Work focused on Critical Race Theory and Intersectionality and how our different life experiences shape how we navigate our surroundings. I recognize my client's right to self-determination, and I want to empower my clients to collaboratively come up with their obtainable short-term and long-term plans and goals. Let's further explore together how to make better use of the tools we've been working with and perhaps add new additional tools to the toolbox or not.

You're doing the things you're supposed to do — and something still feels off. Not broken, exactly. More like a persistent undercurrent: anxiety you can't quite name, a burnout that rest doesn't touch, a disconnection that keeps showing up in your relationships or in the quiet moments when you're alone. You've probably tried to manage it. Maybe you've read the books, tried the apps, talked to someone before. But what you're actually looking for — and haven't quite found yet — isn't someone who will tell you what's wrong with you. It's someone who will listen to what's underneath.

I traditionally work with stressed teens, men that have trouble identifying their emotional difficulties, women that feel under appreciated, LGBT persons, and couples struggling with intimacy issues.
I have a contemplative and humanistic approach to therapy that stresses the inherent value and worth of every person. How we come to understand our sense of self worth can be elaborated with sociological, anthropological, and various academic lenses, but at the end of the day, your experience of your life is what I am interested in.

Addiction cannot be overcome simply by knowing what it is or acknowledging its presence in your life. Nor can it be squashed by sheer will power. Many of our clients say they have felt that they could "just handle this by themselves," but once they reached out to us and got the help they needed, they realized that even if you can "just handle this alone," no one, including you, should ever have to. By reaching out to us, you are stating you are ready to bring balance back to your life.

Life is full of big questions that find all of us sooner or later: Who am I? What do I want? Why do I feel, think, or do what I do? What’s the point? When those questions rise, sometimes quietly, sometimes through anxiety, burnout, disconnection, grief, or repeating relationship cycles, a spark is ignited. Therapy is a place to tend that spark with honesty and care: to slow down, listen closely, and make sense of what your life has been asking of you. Together we look at what keeps repeating, what it costs, and what you truly want so you can begin shaping an existence that feels more rooted, more intentional, and more truly yours.

I have spent my career helping young people deal with depression, anxiety, tough experiences, and issues related to being adopted from foster care. My approach to therapy is direct, collaborative, and goal-oriented. In our sessions, I help clients explore the reasons behind their feelings. As a former teacher, I know that one approach doesn't work for everyone. That's why I use different methods, like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, to help your child succeed.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected from yourself after years of anxiety, trauma, or difficult relationships. You might be carrying the weight of expectations placed on you, struggling with ADHD, depression, or intense emotions, and feeling unsure where you fit or how to advocate for your needs. You want a space where you feel safe, respected, and truly heard—where you can explore your experiences, rebuild trust in yourself, and move toward a life that feels more stable and authentic.

My approach is based on treating the person as a whole being. I believe that learning to integrate how we live is essential to heal, change and grow. Practically speaking, this means guiding heart, mind and body to work together, rather than being controlled by our fears or judgements.
My initial goal is to assist each person to find effective ways to relieve symptoms, then, if they're willing and desire it, to explore ways to move beyond symptoms, learn how to live increasingly in the present, and create deeper and more enduring happiness and acceptance of self and others.

As a Licensed Educational Psychologist, I'm able to work with children, teenagers, and adults in different capacities. My focus is conducting psychological-educational evaluations and Independent Educational Evaluations (IEE) to provide parents, teachers, administrators, tutors, and students with an in-depth insight into the student's strengths and weaknesses in the areas of intelligence, processing, academics, and social-emotional/behavioral skills.
