English
| Español You're the guy who has it together—on paper, at least. Good job, responsible, maybe a father or partner. But inside? Different story. The overthinking won't stop. You snap at people you care about. You shut down instead of opening up. Or you just feel off—disconnected from who you want to be.
Or maybe you're a teen figuring out who you are amid everyone else's expectations. School pressure, identity questions, cultural dynamics, not fitting anywhere.
Many of my clients are men and young men—especially Latino—balancing achievement, family expectations, and identity. You're making it work, but barely. And you're tired.
We figure out what's driving the stress, challenge stuck thoughts, and build tools— using CBT and ACT. You'll regulate emotions, make clear decisions under pressure, and align with your values. This isn't "tell me about your childhood" therapy. It's structured, practical, growth-focused. Sessions in English or Spanish. Ready? Let's talk.
I'm a Mexican American guy and a dad, so I get how masculinity, family expectations, and identity shape everything. I won't make you sit in a circle talking about feelings. But I will create a space where you can be straight with me, and I'll be straight with you. Accountability and support. No BS. If you're ready to stop spinning your wheels, let's connect.
