2 Time Spots Currently Available - May 2024. Being a guy isn't always easy. Whether you're an adult struggling with work, parenting, relationships, and life or a teen trying to make it through the school day. I work with teens to help them communicate their needs, make sense of their world, and build the skills for managing their mental health and overall happiness. For adults, I help them to calm their thoughts and find passion in their life, relationships, and work. I also offer services for help with addiction.

Welcome and congratulations on taking the step of seeking out therapy; I find that contacting someone is the most difficult part. As you look for a therapist, I encourage you to first consider characteristics of the individual you believe you’ll connect with most and consider their education, licensure, and clinical approach second.

We tend to work with people who have tried many different therapies which failed to adequately improve their brain-related challenges or the benefits of such therapies have plateaued. Thus, this means our clients tend to have fairly complex symptomologies and diagnoses, sometimes they don't even have formal diagnoses due to the unique mixof symptoms. Maybe the client has physical symptoms that their physician cannot explain and possibly says is psychosomatic or due to a history of complex trauma. We also work with children for both neurofeedback and neurobehavioral counseling, which is behavioral counseling based on neurobiology.

How we feel is central to how we live our lives. Whether you are struggling within a relationship, looking to overcome childhood trauma or navigating stressors in your life, I can help you to identify patterns and empower the change within yourself to alter your path. Give me a call or send me an email to see if we are a good match. Having a strong therapeutic alliance is key to promoting change. I am also a Hispanic identified therapist and have a strong understanding of the cultural influences of Hispanic culture.

Being part of the interconnected natural world, we thrive in connection, and without connection, we wither. In our work together we will collaborate in understanding what makes you come alive and wither, to look for ways to get unstuck and make meaning of your emotions, reactivity, and suffering. I believe that individuals and families can tap into their inner strength to repair and grow new resilience with guidance and support. My role is to restore balance, build communication, and provide support to help you create space to learn and integrate new skills and encourage new perspectives as you grow and thrive in connections.

I specialize in anxiety, ADHD, trauma, bipolar, depression, substance use disorders, parenting challenges, and relationship issues. My practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming, and I specialize in gender and sexual diversity.

Clients want problems solved and expect that to occur soon. So I focus on the here and now and am active in making recommendations that bring about change as soon as possible. I use an outcome-focused approach and have over 40 years of professional experience as a counselor and trainer to bring you competent expertise. Treating individuals, couples and children with depression, anxiety, and traumas, are common complaints that respond well to my treatment.

Hello and Welcome! I am grateful to be doing work I love and find it immensely rewarding to be your ally in creating profound and lasting positive changes in your life. My therapeutic role is as a thought partner in helping clients strengthen one's inherent resilience. Several clients have stated they've had "more progress from one session than months of previous therapy." I have worked with clients of all ages from numerous intersecting racial, cultural, and religious backgrounds also, a wide range of sexual and gender orientations and various abilities/disabilities. Acknowledge systems of oppression, LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC affirming.

I believe that we were all born complete and whole, deserving of lives that are happy and healthy. The experience of being human is full of potential and it is also complicated and sometimes painful. There can be challenges and pitfalls along the way – sometimes making it difficult to flourish or have the lives and relationships we would ideally like. My goal as a therapist is to support my clients through a compassionate exploration of their experiences (present and past), paying close attention to the places where they may feel stuck as well as the places where they feel free.

You're tired of the struggle and feel defeated at times in your life. You want the pain and suffering to end so you can have a more satisfying life. The good news is that counseling can help you feel better, have more rewarding relationships and look forward to your future. If you are depressed, anxious, or grieving due to a death or a relationship loss, including the loss of a beloved pet, therapy may be able to help you heal and have more control over your life. Break the rut you're in and be free to enjoy your life. You are the expert to your own life and it would be a great honor and privilege to work together in helping you.

Do you feel anxious too much of the time? Exhausted, disconnected, without purpose or interest? Do you forfeit your own thoughts and feelings in relationship to others? Would you like to deal with difficulties more effectively than the unconscious impulses to comply, defy or flee? Whether it's a distinct problem or a vague discontent that needs resolution, I hold the space to illuminate, guide and empower your progression. This is where talk is strong medicine. Neuroscience reveals that therapy changes brain chemistry & structure. Habitual patterns fall away to a renewed sense of energy, choice and personal authority.

Our lives evolve in relationship to ourselves, our partners, our families, communities and other beings (e.g. animals & the land). Healing involves allowing a healthy flow of emotion, communication, care and balance in those areas where we find ourselves stuck. I specialize in working with international and interracial couples and families; and anxiety related disorders including traumatic stress, generalized anxiety, panic attacks and social anxiety from a multicultural perspective. I am fully bilingual and multicultural and will bring to our work my life experience across cultures and my professional training.

My job and ultimate goal is to provide clients with their own skill set and help them find what works best for them, so that they don't need me to continue navigating their own lives. I hold each and every one of my clients with the highest respect and I take a personal interest in seeing them through transformation and growth. I experience great satisfaction in witnessing them flourish and expand in their lives. To be welcomed along as a teammate in someone else's personal journey and path is an exceptional honor that I do not take lightly.

Do you feel sad, anxious, lonely, or misunderstood by others? Perhaps you feel discouraged by repetitive, heart-wrenching patterns in your relationships with loved ones, or obstacles to progressing in your career? As a well-trained, experienced, and compassionate psychotherapist, I have helped many people overcome difficulties they worried might be intractable. My aim is to help you think about and get beyond the specific challenges in your life using methods that have proven efficacy. I work collaboratively in setting goals, solving problems, and uncovering the factors that drive your distressing feelings, thoughts, or behaviors.

As a counselor, I'm here to help. I am humbled to be of service helping you grow, heal, and learn from the challenges you face. It is my experience that people often come to counseling, " tangled up " from their own experiences, thoughts and feelings. Just the act of giving that gift of counseling support to yourself, taking time out from your daily life, and creating that space for reflection can bring immediate and lasting relief.
