Great to meet you!

Mario's experience in concert dance, movement healing, Neurosomatic Intelligence, catholic upbringing and curanderismo, makes Mario an ideal therapist for people looking to strengthen their relationship between Mind, Body, and Spirit.

Mario has worked with performing artists, adolescents, couples, immigrant families, older adults and QTBIPOC, in English, Spanish & Spanglish, addressing symptoms of anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and trauma. Mario's approach is pluralistic, body-centered and spiritually-sensitive.

My approach to therapy

When Mario joins people on their healing journey, they are able to draw from both Western Psychology methods, such as: CBT, ACT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and hypnotherapy, as well as traditional healing methods passed down through elders of Turtle Island

What you can expect from me

Mario believes the road to healing is different for everyone. For this reason, they work to identify the strengths and areas of growth in each person, which then informs how the treatment plan is co-created.
