If you're looking for an empathic, reliable therapist, I strive to provide a supportive and nonjudgmental space where you can explore current stressors, past experiences, relationship dynamics, and develop a deeper understanding of yourself. I believe meaningful change begins with feeling heard, understood, and safe enough to be authentic.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) who is passionate about providing compassionate, supportive, and individualized mental health care. I work with adolescents and adults who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, mood changes, trauma-related concerns, or life stressors.
Hi there, my name is Robert and I'm a bilingual marriage and family therapist with over 40+ years specializing in depression, anxiety and relationship issues. Let's schedule a consultation to see if we're a good fit!
I've also been a Registered Nurse for 15 years and my experience and training covers chronic medical and psychiatric conditions and its impact on the individual and family.
I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma-related disorders, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and OCD in adolescents and adults. As a Doctor of Nursing Practice and board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I bring more than 20 years of nursing experience, including extensive work in critical care and neuro-trauma medicine. My approach combines evidence-based medication management, psychotherapy, and practical lifestyle interventions to help patients achieve meaningful and lasting improvement.
Life is hard, but these days, it feels even harder. It is not uncommon to feel overwhelmed to the point of feeling stuck. This can lead to feelings of depression, anxiety, guilt, and even hopelessness. You may even judge yourself for feeling stuck or struggling. My hope is to help you get unstuck, connect to yourself, and feel excited about your life.
As a bilingual therapist fluent in Spanish, I am passionate about creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental therapeutic environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to explore their challenges and build resilience.
I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California and have over 15 years of experience in the field. I bring a compassionate, understanding, and open approach to therapy. I will be there to listen without judgment, gently challenge you when needed, and support you as you work toward your goals and create meaningful change in your life.
