You're in the chaos right now - relationship just ended, porn use spiraling, recovering from a narcissistic ex, or stuck in anxious-avoidant dating patterns. You need someone who gets it and can help you understand why you keep ending up here.
I work with people ready to examine the hard stuff: attachment patterns, relationship choices, building real self-worth. I'm passionate about helping people date healthier (learned this the hard way myself). I see therapists needing their own space too.
Specialties: sexuality, sex/porn addiction, narcissistic abuse recovery, LGBTQ+ issues, attachment/dating/poly, self-esteem.
Ready? Lets talk
i'm attachment-focused and heavy on psychoeducation and grief work. My approach is direct and unfiltered - I love dark humor, don't shy from awkward topics, and I'm not here to tiptoe around what needs to be said. I'm a gay, liberal, Hispanic, male veteran who is ready to help you figure out your situation.
We meet via audio and start by mapping out your full life narrative, meeting weekly (T, W, Th) to get to the root of what’s keeping you stuck.
If you’re ready to confront the patterns that keep you trapped, reach out with the issue you're dealing with and indicate 'private pay' or which insurance you will be using to get started.
