I primarily work in individual counseling. I am bilingual in Spanish and English and I come from a multicultural background. Whether it is PTSD, relationship problems, or depression, I am ready and willing to help you and adapt to your needs.

I specialize in supporting gay men (as well as lbtq+’s) through the complexities of self acceptance, life transitions, relationship issues (open? poly? I got you) and a multitude of mental health struggles. We all have some form of trauma that impacts us, our experiences are unique. I can help you through the nuances of self and community to build towards a life you’re satisfied living.

Hello! I am a psychotherapist with over 10 years of working with clients of many sorts of issues including relationship conflicts, identity issues, and intergenerational trauma. My experience as a first generation, child of immigrants helps me better understand clients from a range of diverse backgrounds. I am drawn towards working with individuals, couples, and families that are ready to take an in depth look at themselves.

Life transitions - from getting married, a new job, having children, or retirement - present us with new and unique challenges that we have to navigate. Oftentimes the challenges presented by these life transitions are informed by our experiences in navigating previous major life transitions. My approach to psychotherapy is to examine not only the current challenges but also any previous obstacles that we have faced in order to determine what interpersonal, internal, and skills-based needs may be getting in the way of successfully navigating the current situation.

In my journey as an MFT I’ve come to see people as experts of their own lives. I have expertise, but do not assume to be the expert of the lives of others. I listen to the stories you tell about your experiences and I seek to find how the different systems in your life (work, family, relationships, communities, etc.) affect each other and the troubles you may see me about. Within this, I also seek to find the strengths you bring to the table when facing your troubles. It may not always be obvious, but people tend to have strengths that they may not realize. I like to bring them to your attention and remind you they are there.

Over the past 10 years of being in the mental health field providing over 10,000 hours of therapy, what I enjoy most about my work is that it has helped those I serve to increase their awareness and ability to cope with both empowering education and tools to move confidently in all areas of their life. I often tell clients, friends, and family, "we all benefit from support and guidance."

Your decision to enter therapy is an act of self-compassion, which demands that I meet you with the utmost respect and commitment to your growth and self-actualization. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults who are trying to find a better way of approaching life's challenges, gaining insight into patterns and behaviors, developing healthy coping strategies, and breaking down barriers to creating a more meaningful and fulfilling life. I approach therapy from humanistic, existential, and client centered perspectives using an integration of music, talk therapies, breath & body awareness, and sound meditations.

As a therapist I work with the adult population with a focus on trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, and interpersonal issues but treatment will always be tailored to your specific needs as I don’t believe in therapy as a one size fits all model. I pride myself on being a compassionate active listener offering a space where you can safely explore your thoughts and feelings from a nonjudgmental and unbiased perspective. If you’re experiencing ruminating thoughts or you feel as though you are caught in a repetitive cycle, it’s a privilege for me to be able to help you work through those moments in life where you may be feeling stuck.

Are you struggling with a relationship (familial, romantic, platonic, or professional)? Do your emotions, or the emotions of someone close to you feel out of control? Is it difficult for you to practice positive self-talk and refrain from comparing yourself to other people? Are you a caretaker trying your hardest to understand a child or vice versa? We are all raised to believe specific ideas about who we are - beliefs that impact our decisions and behaviors. These concepts are frequently rooted in cultural norms and stereotypes that shape our identities and have an overbearing influence on our experiences.

Within each of us is a deeper or higher self we can contact. Through Meditation, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Hypnosis, and Gestalt Therapy, I help people contact this part of themselves, shed negative patterns of behavior, and realize their full potential. I am a psychologist and therapist who focuses on marriage counseling, ADHD, Alcohol and substance abuse, identity formation and parenting issues. I address feelings of emptiness, difficulties in managing emotions, relationships, anger, anxiety and depression in order to increase your level of self-awareness which can be totally life changing. I also do psychological evaluations for court, custody, bariatric and academic achievement.

Learning to see ourselves through a healthy perspective instead of our criticisms and insecurities can help in creating a healthier approach to overcome the obstacles that prevent us from enjoying a fulfilling life.
