I like to work with the combination of mood and behavioral issues. Depression, anxiety, existential crisis, social or environmental struggles, substance use etc. I am much more conversational in style than task oriented and prefer to help people create their own goals rather than impose them. My approach is founded on ethics and I bring both a trauma informed and socially informed look at my clients to ensure therapy isn't being used as a tool to oppress or oppose those I work with so that I can help get you to the relief people deserve rather than be "fixed" in accordance to things we might not even believe in or want part of.

Have you ever found yourself running around in circles in life? Found yourself falling in the same patterns over and over again? Gaining control over your own life allows purpose and growth to proceed. It unbends those circles and leaves the patterns behind. By taking control, you are putting yourself back into the driver seat and giving yourself the power of choice in your own life. Choice in life is making clear decisions based upon you. This is what leads to living a life full of fulfillment. Encouraging and guiding people to this idea is something I am passionate about and how I do my work.

There are times life overwhelmingly challenged us and we somehow prevailed. However, for some of us, our thoughts, emotions, or bodies became stuck in the aftermath of it all. This may look like always feeling down, constantly on edge, or numbing life's pain away. Whether it's recent stress or a traumatic experience, the space for therapy is one where we explore the avenue that can help resolve old echoes from past experience.

My experiences as a queer, POC, latino, cis- male have shaped my personal and professional values and philosophies, which come with me into every relationship.
It's no surprise life can feel overwhelming at times, making it harder to do even the simplest of things. And yet you're here! We manage to get through it, either by luck, grit, will power, or sheer determination. But sometimes, the pressures from society, culture, expectations...etc can really bog us down. We can find ourselves feeling stuck, thinking, "why is nothing working?" or "no one really gets it." We all deserve peace, safety, and belonging, and sometimes, we might need a helping hand to get us "unstuck." Let's work together to explore what's keeping us stuck, build up our resources, and create the life you'll be proud of.

As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
