Great to meet you!

I have advanced certification in EMDR (2020) and training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (2024), therapies that are evidence-based for trauma healing/recovery. For working with couples, I am trained in Gottman Method couples therapy - another approach proven by scientific research. Having 19 years of experience working with individuals and families, I am a assessed/certified (Spanish) bilingual therapy provider. Ofrezco terapia en espanol tambien! Tengo 19 anos sirviendo comunidades latinas. As a married man of 15 years with two children, one of my passions is helping people to do the healing needed to get in healthy relationships, to build skills that strengthen those relationships, and to parent more effectively once children come along. As someone who has dealt personally with male-factor infertility and has experience with the adoption process, I can empathize more deeply with men (and women) who are navigating these areas.

My approach to therapy

Working together, you will build on your strengths, learn new skills, and heal past trauma (if so desired).

What you can expect from me

After our first session, you will have learned one concrete skill that you can use in your everyday life. You will experience some relief from unburdening yourself a bit. You will feel more clarity around the coming process of skill-building and healing that will lead to greater calm, confidence and relief from distress.
