Hi! I specialize in working with males who struggle with depression, & trauma in the state of Florida. I'm also experienced in working with cultural & end of life issues. I work virtually throughout the state, I’m physically based in the Tampa Bay Area. As the son of Salvadorean immigrant parents, I’ve seen how cultural stigma keeps men from seeking counseling. It's why I’m an open minded clinician with an action-oriented approach to therapy. I'm here to listen without judgement & help you develop a fluid game plan for your goals.

I am accepting new clients. I believe in helping empower my clients to overcome their problems. I believe that all of us have an ideal image of who we want to become and how we would like our relationships to be. Therapy is the process by which we collaboratively work together to identify and correct what's getting in the way of that goal. Oftentimes, just talking about what's going on will make you feel much better. Feeling heard can be very powerful and we will be doing much more than that.

Are you experiencing stress, anxiety, the effects of trauma, low self-esteem, depression, career dissatisfaction, or relationship concerns? Does life feel frustrating and overwhelming at times? If so, the good news is that things can get better! If you are wondering if counseling is right for you, I welcome you to reach out. My counseling practice welcomes teens and adults from all backgrounds and offers the opportunity to work towards achieving positive change in an open, unbiased, compassionate, and non-judgmental setting. I look forward to the opportunity to build a trusting and supportive relationship with you.

Our bodies and brains have natural systems for dealing with difficult and stressful life situations or events. Experiencing or watching a frightening, dangerous, or violent event can overload these these natural systems. Other frequent life experiences such as job or relationship stress, divorce, loss, and accidents can trigger trauma responses as well. Feelings of depression, isolation, anxiousness, tension, irritability, numbness, nightmares, or alcohol/substance abuse are common. Other times, we might just feel stuck and unable to move past the past. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) is a therapy that can help.

My approach is client centered and humanistic. I am primarily providing supervision for registered social work interns and I have a few slots available after hours. I want everybody who I work with to succeed based on the goals they define. I truly believe the journey is just as important as getting to the destination.

I am LGBTQ, Polyamory and Kink competent/affirming. I am inclusive, non-judgmental and secular. If you are feeling depressed, anxious, or stressed out, or if your relationship(s) lack intimacy, warmth, or communication, then let's work together to restore joy and balance. I would love to accompany you on your journey back to a vibrant, happy wholeness. I AM NOT CURRENTLY ABLE TO ACCEPT NEW CLIENTS. I MAY BE ABLE TO HELP WITH A REFERRAL OR INFORMATION ON WHERE TO GO FOR COUNSELING IN ONE OF MY SPECIALTY AREAS. I AM ALSO HAPPY TO ADD YOUR NAME TO MY WAITLIST. EITHER WAY, GOOD LUCK ON YOUR JOURNEY!

Maybe you feel down, annoyed, or anxious. Perhaps you avoid, give in, or act out. Maybe it’s hard to connect to others or to yourself. Those experiences are deeply rooted in how the big people around you acted when you were small. The patterns can be powerfully updated through therapy. In therapy, you can be known, accompanied, and valued. The relationship is protected and safe. It makes room for you and challenges you to connect to and make room for another. Therapy alleviates aloneness, lessens emotional pain, and connects you to your authentic self- that is, what the hell you really think, feel, and care about.

I encourage you to spend time thinking about your needs, be realistic about your expectations and research the type of therapist that will best help you achieve your goals. An informed decision about therapy will result in better outcomes, shorter treatment times and more permanent results. To assist in your decision making, here is some information about me.

Intimacy is a cornerstone of any relationship. There are many reasons why a couple may lose some level of intimacy over time. You may find yourself wondering where the 'spark' went in your own relationship. I may be able to help you and your partner recover your intimate past. I may be able to help you discover a whole new level of intimacy you never thought possible. Unfortunately, the price of love is grief. No two people grieve the same and there is no right or wrong way to grieve. You can grieve and miss the whole person, or just parts of the relationship. Sexual Bereavement is one such specialized grief some people have.

Effective therapy, in my view, moves forward only when you, the patient, do not feel judged, talked down to or told what to do. It is only in this atmosphere of mutual respect and regard that you will surface and examine your issues in ways that give you insight to the "why's" of the choices you've made in the past, your responses to life's events, and options you might choose in the future. There are many different methods I may use depending on what seems most promising given your goals for therapy.

I would be honored to work with you in a warm, empathic manner. I approach each client and each session with new eyes. I would help you to manage your mood or anxiety and teach you to cope more easily with life's challenges. We would discover the tools that work best with you by running simple experiments in your life, gathering results and deciding which tools to keep and which to set aside. My approach will attempt to empower you to make such changes in a judgment-free way to help you find a more successful way of living.

I have provided leadership in program operations for several children's residential facilities and shelters and have supervised clinical therapies in acute residential treatment to those suffering from emergency psychiatric, emotional and behavioral problems, substance and sexual abuse and addictions.

I recognize that change is hard, but I believe that everyone has the capacity for positive change. I want to help you realize that change by utilizing a humanistic approach in therapy. That means that I treat everyone as the unique individuals that they are. There are no cookie-cutter solutions to problems when it comes to mental health. I will focus on understanding your worldview and assist you in discovering new insight and awareness. Using that newfound information we will develop personalized strategies for change.
