With 27+ years of experience as a seasoned therapist, I provide a "sauna for your feelings," a safe space and container for you to step away from your life to reflect, release and re-align. My goal is to facilitate the identification of difficult thoughts, feelings, and past experiences that prevent us from being comfortable with who we would like to be, what we want, and the kind of relationships that we want to have with others. I find that people who fully invest in themselves have the greatest rate of success.

Seeking out therapy is a very heroic action in and of itself, perhaps your first proactive step into redefining your sense of self, creating a new life story, and taking a leap into the direction of self-care. If you are reading this, you may be in a state of uncertainty, or perhaps connected more deeply than you would like to be to the effects of depression, anxiety, or your daily life situations. Maybe, you are wrestling in a relationship with someone you love; perhaps, finding the words to communicate who you are and how you feel may seem unattainable and challenging at best.

You’d say that you are observant, conscientious, and driven. You pride yourself in your successes so far but struggle to take credit for them. You're hard on yourself but the thought of self-forgiveness or compassion brings up guilt. You're really good at being there for others and notice not receiving the same back. Self-doubt and loneliness keep you up at night and bleed into anxieties about work, relationships, and your kids if you’re a parent. You're not looking for temporary bandaids and believe sustainable healing is continuous and worth investing in. In relationships, you desire restoration of connection with your partner.

Deciding what I wanted to be when I grew up was an easy choice. I always gravitated toward working with people and working on teams. I find that therapy is a team effort with an important goal in mind. As a therapist, I have grown accustomed to using cognitive-behavioral frameworks in my practice, as well as utilizing concepts and techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy depending on client needs. Additionally, I am a Registered Art Therapist. Though art therapy is not the appropriate modality all the time, I often find that solutions can come when we open ourselves to something new.

I believe that the power of vulnerability is one of our greatest strengths and ultimately can provide us with a deeper sense of self, security, comfort, and more compassionate towards one another. Coming from a strength-based form of doing therapy and providing support to others, I work to provide my clients with a sense of validation and comfort. As a cis male that identifies as Latinx and as a proud member of the LGBTQIA community, I am able to hold the experience of living in many diverse, cross-cultural emotional experiences that we sometimes may not even know how to begin to understand.
