There are seasons in life that feel heavy and disorienting, when anxiety, depression, grief, or trauma make it hard to see a way forward. You may be wrestling with self-worth, relationship struggles, or a loss that has changed your sense of stability. Some people I work with are seeking clarity in their faith or trying to rediscover purpose after disappointment or transition. Whatever brings you here, you may simply long for peace, authenticity, and a space where your story is heard and valued.

Hi, I’m a husband and father, my work as a therapist is deeply shaped by both my family life and my upbringing as the son of Salvadoran immigrants. I specialize in supporting men—especially new fathers—who are navigating challenges like depression, grief, and trauma. I've been in the field since 2015. I know firsthand how stigma can make it difficult for men to seek help, because I’ve seen it in my own culture and even experienced it myself when I first began therapy. That’s why I’m committed about creating a space where men feel understood, and not supported. I’m based in Texas, and licensed in TX, FL, VA, UT, CT, NJ & CA.

My journey in mental health has given me a diverse toolkit—harm reduction, trauma-informed care, art therapy, CBT, crisis management, motivational interviewing, positive discipline, and Adlerian theory. I’ve worked with clients of all ages on issues like mood disorders, chronic pain, trauma, PTSD, stress, anger management, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, parenting, grief, addictions, and codependency. I’m passionate about mental health because it shapes our identity and well-being. Learning to cope with uncomfortable emotions builds resilience—even when early emotional growth was stunted.

I approach therapy as a process of understanding rather than fixing. Many of our emotional patterns begin as ways to survive, but over time, they can leave us feeling stuck or disconnected. As a trauma therapist, I partner with individuals and families navigating high-conflict relationships, BPD, anxiety, and grief. Together, we work to unpack these old survival habits, strengthen self-trust, and build a clearer sense of agency in an affirming, collaborative space.

There are moments when life feels louder on the inside than it looks on the outside. You might appear to be managing things well, but underneath, anxiety, loss, or past pain continue to pull at you. You have tried to move forward, yet old patterns and emotions seem to resurface. Therapy offers space to pause, make sense of what is happening beneath the surface, and begin restoring a sense of calm, clarity, and connection. My goal is to help you feel safe enough to explore honestly and supported enough to grow.
