Psychotherapy is about change. I work grounded in the belief that we have innate resources for thriving and ease that become concealed or underdeveloped. It is my role to help you understand your fundamental needs, history and challenges so you can realign with your strengths and wisdom; while uncovering whats blocking these resources. I work in a straightforward, compassionate and collaborative way to help you integrate thinking, feeling and intuition. The focus of my style is helping you become more confident and knowledgeable about yourself, your mind and relationships; while offering you the tools and guidance to do that.

Mental health issues can cripple our ability to engage in relationships. We withdraw and become less present in relationships that matter to us. Our work will empower you to create a community outside of the therapy room. By healing your relationship with yourself, you will start to feel more confident about navigating mental health challenges that keep you isolated and fearful.

Are you hoping to find a solution out of a specific problem? Are you looking to make improvements in your life but just don't know where to start? Do you struggle coping with a chronic illness or chronic pain disorder? Do you find yourself feeling "stuck", unmotivated, or unable to experience the same joy as before? Are you constantly worried about something bad happening? Are you having difficulty sleeping? Have you experienced a loss, whether it's the death of a loved one or the loss of a future life you imagined? Is your relationship on the rocks or suffered broken trust? Is anxiety taking over your life?

I work with individuals who are looking to explore the underlying experiences from their past that shape their present suffering, those who have struggled to feel safe in their own bodies, and those who want to welcome greater presence, joy, and agency into their lives right now. With couples and families, I look for the dynamics that create a unique system that has its successes and its stressors. Together, we'll find ways to support you to communicate from a place of openness rather than defensiveness so that you can begin to hear each other through the noise and work toward resolution. Trauma-informed and LGBTQIA affirming.

As a proud gay Mexican American, my upbringing in a religious, bilingual, and bicultural household shaped the lens through which I view the world. It was through my own self-discovery in therapy that led me to pursue a career change into mental health. Unveiling the layers of my own identity, I discovered that I am more than the sum of my experiences, and that realization ignited a desire to guide others on their own empowering journeys. Now, I’m on a mission to create a space for couples and individuals to explore their own narratives.
