They have tried multiple therapist and still are struggling. They are barely able to function day to day and just want to find joy again. They just want to be happy.

Before becoming a counselor, I worked in a variety of settings, including schools and non-profits, which has given me a broad perspective on the challenges individuals face.

I draw from a variety of therapeutic models such as client centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavioral therapy.
As a nonbinary trans guy and gender affirmative therapist, I know how scary it is to interact with providers who are poorly informed about issues facing the trans and nonbinary community. Having a clinician who is informed and affirmative can make a huge difference. I specialize in helping individuals navigate their gender journey and provide support to the LGBTQIA+ community. Since we are more than our gender or sexuality, I also work with a variety of other issues such as depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, general life transitions, self esteem, assertiveness and boundary setting, to name a few.

My approach to therapy is based on cognitive behavioral therapy ( CBT) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT).
A medical diagnosis leaves us feeling broken, damaged, and disconnected from our true selves. You may be fed up with adjusting to new limitations, feeling anxious or depressed as you accept your new realities. You might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to create new daily habits. You’re ready to start making long-term plans without feeling overwhelmed or scared. Most of all, you’re ready to find the next right step forward.

I commonly use CBT, motivational interviewing and somatic experiencing.
Are you feeling stuck? Unmotivated? Unheard or misunderstood? I can assist you in personal goals, changing habits or thought patterns. A counseling relationship can help to process and get support through difficult times. Therapy is for everyone and can have a lot of goals. Some of the common issues I help with are life stressors, relationships, processing trauma, increasing self esteem, building confidence and helping you meet your goals. I can provide a non-biased supportive ear to listen, connect and encourage you. Clients that I work with say that we are able to improve stress reactions and combat negative self talk.

Life is like riding a bicycle, to keep your balance you must keep moving. Feeling depressed, anxious, or simply not yourself, can be an overwhelming experience.

I am here to help you reconnect to yourself, to your personal goals and values, all the things that make you a unique individual (you!). I'm here to support you, explore your thoughts and emotions, sort through the difficulties you are dealing with, and gain insight and tools to navigate your life.

I use a blend of cognitive-behavioral therapy ( CBT) to help address negative thought patterns, and trauma-informed therapy to navigate past experiences.
My ideal client is someone navigating life's challenges, often struggling with feelings of inadequacy from generational trauma or social anxiety. They seek a safe, non-judgmental space to express themselves and desire validation as they reclaim their narrative. Their goal is to move from surviving to thriving, breaking free from mental health stigma, especially within the Latino community. They want a supportive partner to help explore their experiences, set meaningful goals, and rediscover joy and laughter in life. If this resonates with you, I’d be honored to support you on your transformative journey.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists
How does cognitive behavioral therapy work?
Cognitive behavioral therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophizing or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.
When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioral therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.
How can I find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioral therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.
Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
