Hello! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I wake up every day excited to see my clients find the best versions of themselves. Free from the impact of trauma, depression, and anxiety. I meet clients where they are at and engage them in effective tools such as Brainspotting, CBT, and Gestalt therapy. I've worked with individuals, couples, and teens with great success and I'm eager to walk with you to your freedom.

With over two decades of experience in the mental health field, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a compassionate approach to my practice. My career has encompassed direct clinical work, administrative and supervisory positions, consulting and teaching. I believe in a holistic, strengths-based approach to therapy, ensuring that each client receives personalized care tailored to their unique needs.

I offer a genuine, welcoming, and supportive therapeutic space, balancing warmth with a direct and honest approach to help clients create meaningful change. I strive to be understanding and collaborative, meeting clients where they are while supporting growth.

I have over five years of clinical experience working across a variety of settings, including county social programs, community mental health, pediatric hospital- Rady Children’s Hospital, and specialized group practices serving BIPOC communities and children, youth, and families. Currently, I work in a practice focused on supporting children and youth with ADHD and anxiety, as well as parents through parent coaching and family-based care.

I am trained in evidence-based modalities including CBT, DBT, ACT, PMT, TF-CBT, STAND, SPACE, and PCIT, and I tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs and strengths.

The therapeutic approach I commonly use is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on changing thought patterns, and Psychodynamic Therapy, which explores past experiences and unconscious conflicts.

I have always considered myself a psychologist at heart, not so much the professional rendering of psychologist, but the overarching history and discipline of psychologist from its Victorian roots.

My initial training included Jungian concepts and approaches.

I am conversant with religious and spiritual practices.

As a Latinx gay man, I am sensitive to intersectionality, internalized oppression, and immigrant trauma.

Feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you? You're not alone—and you don’t have to navigate it on your own.

I offer a compassionate, steady space where real healing can begin.

You deserve to feel supported, understood, and empowered in your healing. I’m here to walk alongside you every step of the way.
