Great to meet you!

About My Practice Navigating life transitions, relationship dynamics, or overwhelming feelings of anxiety and depression can leave you feeling stuck or disconnected. I offer a supportive, practical space where you can explore these challenges, gain clarity, and develop real-world tools to move forward.

My practice serves adults from all backgrounds, identities, and orientations. While I work with a wide array of concerns, I specialize in:

  • Men’s Issues & Relationship Dynamics: Navigating identity, communication, emotional health, and relational stress.
  • Life Transitions & Disability Support: Managing major life shifts, health changes, or living with disabilities.
  • Anxiety & Depression: Uncovering root causes while building day-to-day resilience.

Logistics & Accessibility

  • Format: Services are provided primarily via convenient, secure telehealth, with in-person appointments available by arrangement.
  • Language: I fully provide therapy in both English and Spanish.

I enjoy spending time with family, travel, outdoors, and comedy

My approach to therapy

My approach is rooted in insight-oriented therapy, helping you understand the deeper patterns, experiences, and belief systems shaping your life. At the same time, I recognize the need for practical solutions. I actively integrate grounded Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) strategies to equip you with concrete, actionable tools for managing symptoms and navigating daily stressors.

What you can expect from me

Taking the first step into therapy can feel overwhelming, but your initial session is designed to be a comfortable, collaborative space where you can set the pace. During our first meeting, my focus is on building a warm, empathetic, and patient foundation where you feel truly heard. Together, we will gently explore your history, discuss what brings you to therapy, and begin clarifying your goals and expectations for our work. This initial conversation is less about finding immediate fixes and more about establishing rapport, understanding your unique context, and ensuring you feel grounded and supported as we map out our path forward.
