Hey, I’m David - a millennial punk rocker turned therapist! Growing up Mexican American in Houston, one of the most diverse cities in the U.S., I saw firsthand how tough it can be for people of color to access mental health support. That’s what drove me to earn my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health from the University of St. Thomas in 2021, so I could help break down those barriers.
Think of this as your space to unpack life's stress and build solid coping skills all while figuring out what makes life meaningful for you. No judgment, just support. I’m direct, solution-focused, and not afraid to throw in some humor or relatable analogies to make things click. I might even give you practical tools to try out between sessions. I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families, specializing in life’s curveballs that makes us question our values and goals.
I work with topics like existential crises (because let’s be real, we all get stuck sometimes), anxiety, ADHD, OCD, depression, identity, men’s issues, and relationships. I’m also trained in Prepare-Enrich for couples, marriage, and pre-marital work, plus Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for managing emotions and building skills.
