Trauma often leaves one with unresolved emotional wounds and patterns of coping that no longer serve them. As a licensed psychotherapist, I specialize in helping adults who have suffered from trauma, with a deep understanding of how these experiences impact emotional and psychological well-being. I commonly work with clients dealing with complex post-traumatic stress, depression, anxiety, grief, substance use, as well as challenges related to attachment, identity, and relationships.

I maintain a full caseload at the Denver Vet Center (a subdivision of the VA) where I focus on combat related PTSD and military sexual trauma. I see individuals and couples. In my private practice, I specialize in personality disorders, particularly borderline personality disorder. I have a master's degree from Denver Seminary in clinical mental health counseling, where I also earned a certificate in theology. My undergrad degree is in philosophy. My unique background as a Mexican American Army veteran schooled in philosophy, theology, and psychology, sets me apart as a therapist.

Whether you are experiencing depression, anxiety, or just feel "stuck" or unsure where to go next, I see my role as a therapist as one of support, tailored to meet your individual needs. I strive to do all of this with a social justice and trauma-informed lens. This means I take into account generational trauma, historical trauma, racial trauma, and current political climate.

I view our life journey as a collection of experiences that influence who we are and how we see the world. We often experience (and can expect) to deal with hurdles and roadblocks that can make some days unbearable. This is where counseling comes in. I love joining alongside others and empowering them to keep making steps when they don’t think they can. I will always admit to any client that counseling is hard and applaud anyone who takes the step to reflect inward and grow. My hope and main priority are to create a space where ALL individuals feel safe enough to be their authentic selves.

Sometimes, we just want to find "home," that place within us that is our true self and that validates who we are and what we believe in but that often gets in conflict with others who want us to change in order to fit what they want us to be. I partner with my clients to help them find that place of home as they deal with life changes and transitions that may result in depression, anxiety, relationship issues, a search for purpose and meaning of a wish for personal growth.

Over years of experience, I have discovered that people develop a way of thinking about themselves, others, the world. How we think determines how we experience life. This way of thinking includes negative beliefs that we develop about ourselves. There's really only a handful and they sound something like "I don't matter" or "I'm worthless," "It's never good enough" or maybe "something is wrong with me." These beliefs keep us stuck because they are not just in our heads. They are connected with emotional experiences, often very painful. So even though we know we're worthy, we don't feel worthy.

Struggling with sexual desire, arousal, orgasm, erection, ejaculation or overall confidence and comfort with sex is common. You are not alone, and overcoming these issues is possible. These struggles can be related to anxiety, discomfort with our bodies or pleasure, or previous negative sexual experiences. We often feel shame or embarrassment when talking about sex, even with our romantic and sexual partners. I offer an authentic, accepting and collaborative space for individuals who are seeking therapy to work through some of these issues.

Are you feeling trapped by your anxiety or depression? Do you wonder why it has been a challenge for you to move forward from painful experiences? You may be wondering where to begin, if you will be able to heal, and overcome your obstacles. I believe you can. I started my journey to becoming a therapist as a young man, confronting my own trauma. After coming through that storm, I realized it was my calling to help others. I have helped client’s struggling with anxiety, depression, feelings of worthlessness, relational challenges, trauma and abuse.

You're not sure why, but the people you love most: your kids, spouse, mother/father/siblings-have turned into triggers that bring out the worst in you. Despite your love for them, you find yourself acting in ways you swore you never would. You're yelling at your kids, always angry at your partner, and you feel like you're always failing. In short, you're hurting the people you love most. You want to show up for your loved ones with peace rather than chaos and stress. You want to ditch the feelings of not being enough.

Hello and welcome. My passion is working with adolescents, young adults, and the families who support them. My connection with adolescents is built on trust, safety, comfort, respect, and understanding, which allows me to create relationships with teens that can be hard fought with other adults. Speaking what can seem to be a foreign language and creating a bridge to families through the translation of that language brings purpose to my work. I have over twelve years of experience working with adolescents and families in different capacities and have dedicated my career to working exclusively with this population.
