You may be someone who appears put-together on the outside, while internally navigating anxiety, self-doubt, or a sense of never quite feeling "enough". Or you may be feeling overwhelmed by depression, past experiences, or relationship struggles that are hard to untangle on your own. I'm a sex-positive, LGBTQIA+ affirming psychotherapist who works with adults and adolescents across a wide range of emotional challenges. As a Latinx, queer, cisgender man, I value creating a space that feels not only safe, but genuinely understood - especially for those whose identities and experiences haven't always been fully seen.
My approach is grounded in a trauma-informed psychodynamic framework, while integrating tools from CBT, ACT and DBT. This means we'll explore the deeper patterns shaping your thoughts, emotions, and relationships, while also developing practical ways to manage distress and create change in your life.
I aim to offer a warm, direct, and authentic space where you can express yourself freely - whether that means working through pain, anger or parts of yourself that feel difficult to face. Therapy with me is not just about coping, but about building a more meaningful, connected and fulfilling life. If something here resonates, I invite you to reach out.

I specialize in working with individuals navigating depression, anxiety, and perfectionism, particularly those who struggle with a harsh or unrelenting inner critic. Many of my clients are high functioning on the outside yet internally burdened by self-doubt, chronic dissatisfaction, or a persistent sense of "not being enough".

My approach is integrative, drawing from psychodynamic, relational, humanistic and cognitive behavioral therapies. In practice, this means our work is both exploratory and practical. We'll spend time understanding the deeper emotional patterns and past experiences that shape how you relate to yourself and others, while also paying close attention to what unfolds between us in the room.
