Are you or your child struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or a life change and wishing to feel heard? I support children, adolescents, adults, and families, with a focus on anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and relationship challenges. In English and Spanish, I help clients work through emotional overwhelm, family stress, ADHD, addiction, anger, and difficult experiences.

Whether you are seeking support for yourself, your child, or your family, I will listen without judgment and work alongside you. Together, we can understand what feels difficult, build on your strengths, and move toward meaningful change.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety and depression, including overthinking, low motivation, feeling overwhelmed, and a loss of interest in daily life.

Many of my clients come in feeling mentally exhausted, stuck in their thoughts, or unsure why things feel harder than they should. I work with adults of all ages, but I have a strong understanding of the challenges that often come up in early adulthood and major life transitions.

My goal is to help you better understand what’s going on and give you a clear, realistic path forward.

I specialized in working with preteen, teens, young adults and adult individuals. My purpose is to provide an empathic, supportive space in which you can speak freely about your experiences, consider issues of identity, and explore relational possibilities. I understand that family dynamics can be complex and challenging. Through therapy one can uncover the past and find a deeper connection on how thoughts impact the behavior in the present.

I am a bicultural, 55-year-old and very proud father of two adolescents. In this growing age of isolation and need for sincere, genuine human connection, it has never been more important to regain our sense of control and serenity. The foundation of our work together is based on restoring this basic human need. I believe the answers lie in the path itself, not just in reaching the destination. Together, we will learn to welcome challenges as opportunities.

I specialize in helping children, families, and adults navigate anxiety, depression, grief, family stress, and men's mental health. I work with clients from infants and toddlers through adults, which means I can support the whole family, not just one person. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all therapy, and I won't treat you like a checklist. The work I do is practical, collaborative, and focused on helping you direct your life, not just understand it.
