I also specialize in depression, anxiety, men's issues, relationships, grief/loss, trauma, and identity-related concerns.
Finding the right “fit” in a therapist can be one of the hardest, and most rewarding, steps in our mental health journeys. I love working with clients who take this step seriously. It tells me they value their healing and growth and they understand how important the relationship at the heart of therapy can be. I'm a dad of two kids and a former Division I athlete. I prioritize honesty, connection, authenticity, compassion, humor, and courage in my work. I connect best with clients who: hold similar priorities, want a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships, and want greater connection, liberation, and joy.

My ideal clients include those with depression and trauma backgrounds, substance abuse histories, spiritual concerns, and men's issues.
The first steps to a counseling session can be scary, but it is also a courageous act in understanding yourself and living a more engaging life. My philosophy in providing care has always been "helping others help themselves." I believe that each individual has the ability to change and grow in their journey. In sessions I provide a safe, compassionate, and collaborative space. I will also acknowledge that our world is vastly different and more chaotic than it was a few years ago - political discourse, racial injustice, climate change - and I will do my best to offer you some direction in these collective struggles.

I am trans-affirming and also have a focus on men's issues.
As a queer, Latine cisgender man, it is my passion to support communities in their own collective liberation. Too often counseling can feel like a non-inclusive space, and my work has focused on providing a healing space where clients feel comfortable being their genuine selves, free from judgment and guilt. Sometimes it feels like many of us move through our day wearing a mask to “fit in,” which is a heavy burden to bear. Together we can work towards removing this mask by helping you tap into the parts that already exist within you - a bit of authenticity, a splash of self-compassion, and a healthy dose of empowerment.

I have specialized interest in working with emerging adults, motherhood, men and men's issues, and in offering coaching and therapeutic support for financial health.
Why do most people come to a therapist in the first place? Because they want a better life. It's a brave thing to do- to realize that you want more for yourself and to take the step to begin making that wish a reality. Sometimes people come to me with a specific problem, and sometimes just because they're tired of feeling disappointed with life. Whatever the reason, we begin the process by sitting down together and looking at what is bothering you.

I do therapy backwards. I help people first find acceptance of what's challenging them, and focus on making that feeling of discomfort feel safe. I believe that allowing the experience of the full range of human emotions is key to reclaiming and strengthening our emotional resiliency. We can accept the presence of discomfort and feel joy, while identifying and making changes based on who we want to be or know we are. My therapy practice is based in an understanding of the nervous system, mindfulness, and the ways we all experience and react to trauma and distress.

I appreciate the quote, "You don't have to be sick to get better." This reflects my approach as a solution-focused therapist. My ideal client is someone facing challenges like anxiety, depression, or relationship struggles but is also eager to enhance what’s already going well in their life. Together, we’ll not only address what’s holding them back but also build on their existing strengths to help achieve their goals. From session one, we’ll set clear goals, develop personalized tools for immediate use, and create a foundation for lasting success. Change is possible, achievable, and can happen faster than you think.

Do you miss the easy way you both would listen and understand each other? Would you like your communication to solve problems instead of start conflicts? When you reach out with a need is it answered? The focus of my practice is relationships, for couples, individuals, and families. Finding ourselves in recurring conflicts and stalemates at home can create a hopeless place, accompanied by feelings of anger, confusion, and loneliness. Through therapy, we can learn to communicate clearly, state our needs, and rebuild trust. Let's work together to unravel the stuck place you're in and rewrite the script for greater joy and connection.

If you're reading this, ask yourself a question: Do I struggle with connecting to others? Do I know how to connect with myself? Do I find myself feeling misunderstood by others? Do I struggle communicating what I really think or really feel? There is a saying, "Memento Mori", which roughly translates to "Remember that you have to die". While this may seem morbid on the surface, it's actually a call to arms for the importance of living while we can! It speaks to the value of deep meaning in life, and truly living a life of substance.

Men's Issues Therapists

Is therapy for men different than it is for women?

Therapeutic treatments and types are the same for men as they are for women, with the same protocols followed and the same strategies employed. Discussing one’s feelings and emotions is an integral part of most therapies, and some men find doing so more challenging. Therapists can help clients through the process; some specialize in treating men for this reason.

How do you encourage a man to go to therapy?

It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either himself or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.

How can men prepare for therapy?

Men can prepare for therapy by approaching the process with an open mind, being willing to talk about their challenges, and giving treatment the time to work. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. It can be useful for men who struggle to recall their emotional states to write down notes between sessions about their response to a given event or how they were feeling at a particular time.

What should men know about the process of therapy?

One of the most common reasons men don’t seek therapy is the notion that there’s something wrong with them if they do. Men should know that just because they’re seeking therapy doesn’t mean they’re mentally ill or damaged in some way. In the same way people work on their bodies through exercise or a craft through practice, therapy can be a way to improve the mental and emotional skills needed to be productive and effective partners, employees, and people in all realms of life.
