Great to meet you!

Hi, my name is Zach.

My job is helping you find a new normal after trauma.

Are you seeking therapy from a Latino male clinician who understands your unique experiences? Have you faced traumas alone, feeling no one truly comprehends your struggles?

I specialize in helping individuals navigate trauma, providing support to overcome guilt, depression, anxiety, and grief.

My professional philosophy is shaped by my roots in La Puente, CA, where systemic barriers shaped my view on mental health.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is grounded in psychodynamic theory, helping clients explore unconscious beliefs and values that shape their behaviors and emotions. I specialize in working with PTSD, focusing on how unresolved conflicts and internal dynamics contribute to symptoms. My style is direct and engaging, ideal for those ready to dive deeply into core challenges. Together, we’ll uncover patterns and work toward meaningful change. I’m here to support you on your journey to healing.

What you can expect from our first session

In sessions with me, clients can expect to be gently challenged to think from different perspectives while exploring difficult topics in an empathetic and supportive environment. My goal is to help you confront fears or unresolved traumas, making uncomfortable thoughts more manageable and reducing the stigma around them. Together, we’ll work toward fostering resilience and deeper self-understanding.
