Most of my clients come to me when they are feeling stuck, constantly triggered, and unmotivated, but hoping to be driven. Most have ADHD/ASD and some degree of trauma, usually stemming from family of origin and/or unhealthy romantic relationships. Depression and anxiety are almost a given when you don't know the root cause of your emotions, behaviors, and thoughts, and can't "get going." My clients are usually looking for more than a "rent a friend," looking to be challenged in a positive and accepting manner. As a fellow human, I have struggled with many of the same issues as my clients and appreciate the trust they give me.
I can help you by trying to see the world through your eyes first and then offering objective perspectives. I'm a "CBTerian" with an integrative and existential approach to therapy. Having a space where you can be transparent is one of the most healing experiences in itself. With over 19 years of experience as a therapist and client, I hope I can help!
I understand that life can be difficult, but also very rewarding. I'm like the person in the boxing ring who gives you the water, wipes off your sweat, and helps you get back in the ring. I'm not here to tell you what to do. I'm to be your mirror and existential life guide. Let's meet for 15 minutes and see if we would work well together! Se habla español.

I use a mix of evidence based treatments mostly based on cognitive behavioral principles to manage automatic negative thoughts and their effects.I look at family of origin history and patterns of behavior too. Any intervention is meant to reduce symptoms that interfere with your everyday life and to empower you. I'm hoping to be a guide "through the fog" with my clients.
