¡Hola! My name is Luis and I am a bilingual therapist with a focus on treating depression and anxiety. I have had the privilege of witnessing incredible transformations and helping individuals find relief and happiness so they can achieve their goals. I also work the areas of trauma, gender identity, sexual orientation, relationship problems, stress, self-esteem, mindfulness, self-care, and culture shock. As a Spanish speaker, I'm thrilled to be able to offer therapy sessions in Spanish. Language should never be a barrier to seeking support. I am here to contribute to the idea that everyone can access the help they need.

Distress, discomfort, and change often create life's most challenging moments. However, with support, these moments can serve as catalysts for significant growth. I work with young adults, adults, adolescents, and children who are navigating stressors such as symptoms of anxiety and depression, life transitions, family conflict, relationship issues, and identity exploration. I partner with clients to explore patterns that may be appearing in their lives, discover and implement new coping strategies, and move forward with greater intention.

We are all works in progress and the world around us can steer us in the wrong direction. I strive to work with my clients to find the most rewarding path and the healthiest balance of one’s needs, through learning more about oneself, others, and the world around us. It is essential to find a therapist that makes you feel validated, respected, and acknowledged by honoring your intersectional identities. As such, I strive to embody this in the therapeutic approaches that I use with my clients to uniquely address their presenting concerns.

Reaching out for support during a difficult time takes courage. Oftentimes we tend to be harsh on ourselves in an effort to push ourselves out of a rut only to find that despite our efforts we remain stuck in it. We can become entrenched in cyclical patterns of anxious, angry, or depressing thoughts that prevent us from functioning exactly as we'd like, whether at work, home, or in relationships. Whether you would like to address an emotional wound, gain confidence, heal from trauma, reach goals, or improve your relationships, I am confident I can help you. CHANGE really is possible!

There is so much in the power of therapy as a process that invites curiosity, creativity and play. I prioritize the innate ability to express vulnerabilities and needs through non-verbal, auditory, kinesthetic, and visual ways which I process with dance/movement therapy, sensorimotor therapy, TF-CBT, and other creative therapies. I strongly believe in the transformative power of art, especially for those who haven't found the language or words to express themselves yet. I honor the creative process and how it can initiate our own journey towards care and healing.
