To me, a large part of therapy is about grieving, acceptance, and peace within ourselves and others; I am particularly good at helping people get in touch with their feelings. I tend to work with the heavier side of therapy, that include drug/ alcohol /cannabis addiction, domestic violence, narcissism, borderline, sex/porn addiction, sex offense, sexual shame, couples working through sobriety-recovery dynamics, infidelity, poly relationships, court, and anger management. I tend to work really well with those who enjoy dark humor, who are avoidant by nature, and those who are seeking redemption from guilt/shame.
I am proactive in nature and provide plenty of challenge/homework as a part of sessions. I identify as Mexican-American, gay, and ex-military. As a part of my practice, I do a full background, I offer to meet with partners to gather more perspective, and I provide letter writing.
Currently offer nights/weekends, 53 or 25 minute sessions every other week unless otherwise needed. I'm seeing clients via telephone - I'm finding that is where I'm the most effective. I provide superbills for partial reimbursement from your insurance. Send me an email for a free consultation about your case
