I believe our lives are deeply influenced by the breaking of trust and security in our closest relationships. These wounds can leave us feeling isolated, lonely, and stuck, making it hard to see a way forward. When we experience this kind of pain, it often feels hopeless, but with support and care, healing is not only possible—it can lead to meaningful growth. My goal is not to change you, but to offer you the space where change can take place. Together, we will walk through the hardships and complexities of life toward finding hope, insight, and ways of regaining control of your life.

There are times in our relationships with our children that we love them, but we may not “like” them. My approach to both therapy and assessment is rooted in the belief that what is “right” about your child is stronger than what is “wrong”. By uncovering both your child’s strengths and vulnerabilities, a comprehensive treatment plan can be developed in collaboration with you and your child. My approach draws from the fields of Neuropsychology, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness and Positive Psychology.

I am a 63-year-old Latino from the Los Angeles Area. As a teenager and young adult and now as an older adult, I encountered many obstacles that I had to figure out by myself. My hope is to support you in overcoming your obstacles. I grew up around hard-working people who had little or no education. I had no examples to follow or mentors to guide me. I understand what it feels like to feel alone even in a crowded room. I can assist you with your obstacles by helping you understand their origins and by learning about the power that you possess to overcome them.

Oftentimes, we are told to just be our genuine self, but that is so hard to do when societal standards, cultural norms, familial expectations set limits and boxes for us to fit into as well. These restrictions and boundaries only then muffle and silence the voices we have inside of us. This silencing and censoring can develop internal messages within us that we are unloveable, never enough, and not worthy of being authentically you. Feelings of anxiousness, nervousness, sadness, and loneliness may arise alongside these thoughts which make it difficult to get a good night's rest or enjoy your favorite hobbies.

Welcome to my practice. I have been in practice since 2007 and have been featured on ABC, NBC, and KCAL as an expert psychologist. I work primarily with men who have hit “rock bottom” and would like help getting up. These men are often in crisis when we first meet. The issues I address are typically related to unhealthy sexual behaviors, infidelity, financial recklessness, gambling, drugs/alcohol, dishonesty/lying, and relational conflicts. My therapy approach is a combination of psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral, and the 12-Step recovery model. I also share insight from my own painful but redemptive recovery journey.

Male Therapists
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.
