I am very committed to supporting you on your healing journey. I meet you where you're at, and we go at a pace that feels right for you! I focus on LGBTQ individuals, couples, and families, where I bring my lived experience as a gay man of Arabic and Latino descent. In bringing my lived experience to session, I have compassion and understanding for what brought you to therapy.
I work from a trauma-informed lens, where I focus on your past and present life events to know how they are informing your future. Let's spend some time exploring your life, identity, and other relevant events. In shaping your life, we explore relationship dynamics, confidence and self-esteem, body image, communication, and general mental health. I use Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution-focused Therapy, and Emotion- Focused as a framework to guide the sessions together.
I will help you identify thoughts and ways of thinking that lead to behavior patterns and ways of coping. Let's find new and healthier ways to cope and navigate stressful situations. I will support you in building capacity to find new ways to cope, heal, and persevere. My goal is to support you until you are self-sufficient on your own!
