Great to meet you!

Hello! I am an LGBTQIA+ affirming psychotherapist with experience working with LGBTQ+ individuals across inpatient and outpatient settings. I identify as a Latinx, Queer, Cis-male and enjoy working with clients of all genders and sexualities, especially LGBTQ+ individuals. I have experience tailoring therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to meet the individual needs of my clients.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I am dedicated to creating a warm, empathic and most importantly authentic space for you to safely explore yourself, including your mind and heart. I aim to create a space where you can freely express all of your painful and angry feelings nonjudgmentally. I bring many years of professional training and lived experiences which I incorporate into my practice to help you feel safe in exploring the ways in which you can build a more rewarding and fulfilling life.

What you can expect from our first session

Central to the exploration of any issue lies the relationships we have with ourselves and with those around us. I strongly believe this is the space where healing occurs. The therapeutic relationship offers a unique opportunity for you to uncover, experience and process relational dynamics occurring in your life in the here and now. I am here to help facilitate the conditions to help support you in working towards greater self awareness and self acceptance.
