Great to meet you!

Life is full of challenges that we often feel we are unable to overcome. My job is to help you discover your inner strength and motivation to keep moving forward, even when it feels too painful or difficult. I find that building strong relationships helps to keep us emotionally regulated and feeling connected. A focus on building a therapeutic relationship during our initial sessions will help to create a compassionate, safe, and growth-fostering environment where progress is inevitable.

My approach to therapy

My approach is compassionate and warm, connection-focused, and safety-oriented. I have a passion for helping others through challenging times and enjoy providing encouragement and hope. I am compassionate and understanding of all situations. I utilize my LGBTQIA+, Mexican-American/Latinx, and cisgender-male life experiences to help guide my work. The work we do together will not always be easy, however I will ensure that you feel safe, understood, and supported throughout your journey.

What you can expect from me

Those that I work with can expect to take away self-compassion, an increase in self-awareness, increased trust in others, and an overall feeling of hope for the future.
