Since growing up in a Hispanic and Indian home I strive to establish a comfortable space when working with adolescents, young adults, and older adults through life’s challenges and transitions. I primarily work with men to help navigate anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or overcoming complex obstacles. My knowledge in areas like education, athletics, work-life balance and providing clarity on sensitive topics highlight my areas where I can assist your everyday needs. I believe therapy is most effective when clients are actively involved in their care. A judgment-free area that as we move forward continue to see progress
I support clients navigating multicultural experiences, cultural identity, and balancing conflicting emotions. My practice provides structure to enable you with the best resources possible. This includes time to explore other components like spirituality, athletic stress, and feelings of loneliness. I help identify the steps to support your path forward.
I personally believe much of our stress stems from not discussing the problems that circle in our heads all day. I use a Person-Centered approach, where your goals and experiences guide our work. I strive to create a space where you feel comfortable, heard, and understood, without having to filter or change who you are.
