“I just want to feel happy.” Or “why are relationships so hard for me?” Or maybe, “I wish I didn’t worry ALL the time.” If these lines have run through your mind, you’re not alone. And you’ve come to the right place! My style is warm, genuine, and practical. I use humor and honesty to create a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can be your true, authentic self. I believe the key to progress in therapy is developing insight into patterns (relationships, behaviors, and thoughts), while learning concrete skills to make real tangible changes in the here and now.

Established families on the upper East and West Side.They have a safe place here with me in Greenwich Village, which is, after all, a traditional haven of free discussion and exploration.

Being a 2nd generation Latiné person, I know deeply the courage and pure will it takes to embark on a healing journey. Not just for me, but for all of the generations who came before me without the privilege or opportunity to heal for themselves. In my practice, I make space for all of you, your culture, your lived experience, your identities, all beings you call family and the generations you bring with you each time you enter the space.

As a gay man, I bring both personal insight and clinical depth to my work. I understand how early experiences of difference can shape one’s sense of self, relationships, and belonging, often in ways that persist long into adulthood.
I work with individuals and couples navigating questions of intimacy, identity, and connection, particularly within the pace and complexity of life in New York City. Many of my clients are thoughtful, high-functioning, and successful in their external lives, yet find themselves feeling stuck, disconnected, or unfulfilled in more personal areas.

I focus on creating a warm and supportive space where you can learn to be kinder to yourself as you are while also working to become the person you want to be. I have experience with a number of therapeutic styles but I also believe that we are complex individuals who are always richer than any theory can fully capture. At its best, therapy is a collaboration: you bring your expertise in yourself and your history and I bring my therapeutic knowledge, and we work together to make things better, whatever that means to you.

I consider psychotherapy to be a project between two people in which the goal is to understand both conscious and unconscious sources of emotional pain and ultimately open a space in which to alleviate suffering. Through an understanding of desires, dynamics, and a deepening of inner and outer dialogue, we can enter a process of healing which leads to the shedding of old and destructive patterns.

On the surface you have it “all together” but underneath are struggling with constant worry & self doubt. Despite being smart, driven, and incredibly hard working, life feels hard. No matter how much you do or accomplish, you never feel good enough. You always put others first and struggle to say no, even when overwhelmed. You want to heal from old wounds and break unhelpful patterns but you aren’t sure how.

Seeking therapy can be a daunting task and often people are ambivalent about entering a therapeutic relationship. Through years of psychotherapy practice with adolescents, adults and couples, I have found that real change is possible when one feels safe, validated and accepted. My work is grounded in the belief that with the right support and practical tools one can gain confidence in tackling obstacles such as anxiety, depression, loss and difficult life events or transitions. My style is integrative, interpersonal and solution focused. I believe it is most important to meet the individual where they are.

I’m a curious listener by nature, and my goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental, and compassionate space for you to express yourself. My work is relational, and I view our relationship as part of the healing process. I take a psychodynamic approach, which means we look at what is happening in the present and consider how your reactions may be influenced by your earlier life experiences. Through this work, you will become more aware of how those experiences have shaped you, learn to identify the patterns that no longer serve you, and claim a more authentic version of yourself. The result is feeling more free and more empowered!

Be true to yourself. I’m curious about what that phrase means to you and what is impeding your ability to live authentically. Perhaps you must untangle the past to move forward and flourish in the present. Or, explore who you are now to determine who you want to become in the future. No matter what brings you here specifically, my ultimate goal is to help you parse these queries and connect to your core self. While I specialize in trauma-focused therapies (e.g., EMDR), I have an extensive research background and draw from additional evidence-based practices to mitigate pain and embolden vitality.
