As a bilingual (English and Spanish) LGBTQ+ first-generation Latino/Mexican male, my life experiences have shaped my passion for helping others. I’ve learned to navigate hardships on my own, and I use that resilience to motivate and guide others toward achieving their personal goals. Cultural competence is central to my work, and I strive to understand and honor the diverse experiences within our communities. I know that finding ways to unwind and manage stress can be challenging, and I aim to provide tools and strategies that make that process more approachable.

I work great with clients who are seeking someone down to earth, authentic, and who want to be pushed to grow. Every person has the capacity to heal and reclaim their most authentic selves. This includes my passion for working with LGBTQ+ folks. This work is ideal for folks who want to build a deep understanding of how they are impacted by their traumas (and we all have them in some way) and the lasting impacts they can leave - including mental health concerns, substance use, and identity-based stress. This work can allow you to know yourself deeply and be more in control of how you want to respond, rather than react, to life.

Supervision available. I offer an Afrocentric view of psychotherapy coupled with honesty, humor, and compassion. I believe in the potential to coexist with the events of the past while fueling the future. Bruised Not Broken Therapy was born from the lack of Afrocentric-based psychotherapy that allowed people of color to embrace their life journey through the context of color. HIV, substance abuse, mental health, and the denial of the everyday experience of being a person of color continue to plague communities of color, as we still have yet to discuss these experiences.

Alcohol Use Therapists
Are there specific medications for alcohol use?
There are oral medications approved to treat alcohol use disorder—such as disulfiram, acamprosate, and naltrexone, which also comes in an injectable form. These medications do help people reduce their drinking as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone helps reduce cravings, disulfiram can make a person feel sick when they drink, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.

How do alcohol recovery or rehabilitation programs work?
In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other patients in recovery; in outpatient programs,individuals live at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counselors, and psychotherapists. Staff can also include people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other tools for recovery.

How do 12-step programs combined with psychotherapy work?
Members of 12-step programs help each other reach abstinence and work to maintain it. These programs promote complete change in the individual’s emotional, mental, physical, and even spiritual perspectives. Some programs require that new members attend 90 meetings in 90 days. Many people do attend these programs in conjunction with their work in psychotherapy; the combination of therapy along with 12-step can be extremely effective.

How does harm reduction combined with psychotherapy work?
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, harm reduction prevents death, injury, disease, overdose, and substance misuse. People who choose harm reduction for alcohol use reduce the amount of alcohol they intake. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.
