Hi, I'm Luis, a therapist (LMFT) who has been in the field for 15 years. I've worked in several settings helping children, adults, and older adult clients develop healthy coping skills to manage emotional distress and improve or return to their typical function. I also have extensive experience facilitating adult group therapy sessions focused on stabilization and development of coping skills. In addition, I have experience supporting clients living with depression and anxiety through individual therapy sessions.
During my time as a therapist, I've developed attunement skills to help me truly see my clients. I've found that this approach leads to clients feeling supported and understood. In addition, I consistently use empathy and validation while helping clients process difficult emotions and experiences.
While in session with me you will find that I am genuine, empathetic, and validating. I will create a safe relaxing environment where you will feel supported and heard. As part of treatment, we will collaborate in developing measurable goals to help you return to your typical level of function.

I take a very open and non-judgmental approach to all situations, cultures, experiences, thoughts, and beliefs. Clients find that I'm a genuine provider who can be as human as they are. In general, I use an Integrative approach when it comes to interventions. For example, I use DBT, CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and ACT interventions in sessions.
