Hello and welcome! My name is Carlos, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to helping adolescents, young adults, adults and families navigate life's challenges with compassion, respect, and open mindedness.
As a bilingual therapist, I provide services in both English and Spanish and value creating an inclusive environment that respects each person's unique experiences, culture, and identity. Whether you are facing a current challenge or looking for personal growth, I look forward to supporting you on your journey.
I have over 20 years of experience providing psychotherapy across a wide range of settings, including acute and non-acute mental health, residential treatment, and outpatient care. Throughout my career, I've worked with adults, adolescents, individuals, and couples facing everything from everyday life stressors to more complex emotional and psychological challenges.
While I work with a broad range of concerns, I have particular interests in relationship counseling using the Gottman Method, chronic pain utilizing Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), addiction, borderline personality disorder using DBT, and anxiety-related disorders. I also frequently help clients navigate life transitions, relationship difficulties, parenting, work stress, panic, and general emotional well-being.
One thing that deeply shapes my work is a genuine curiosity about the human condition. I believe every person's story makes sense when we take the time to understand it. Rather than viewing people through the lens of a diagnosis alone, I strive to understand the experiences, relationships, beliefs, and circumstances that have shaped who they are. I see therapy as a collaborative process of exploration, insight, and meaningful change.
Over twenty years of experience providing mental health services to a wide range of clients - finding the unique nature of each individual.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social worker that specializes in providing compassionate support to individuals navigating trauma, PTSD, intimate partner violence, depression, anxiety, and military/veteran support. My practice focuses on empowering clients aged 18 and above to heal and grow in a safe and supportive environment.
I received my Masters of Social Work with a specialization in Trauma and Interpersonal Violence from Simmons University in 2016 and achieved full clinical licensure in 2020. Through my experiences working with military members and their families, I have learned the importance of a holistic approach to therapy, focusing not just on symptom management, but also on addressing the root cause, and helping clients build skills that can be used outside of the session. After all, in any given week, there are 167 hours’ worth of living done outside of therapy.
I have extensive experience working with complex trauma, attachment issues, family, and spiritually and religiously-based trauma.
I believe that healing happens best in a space that feels both professional and human. With over a decade of experience supporting vulnerable children, families, and adults, I’ve dedicated my career to helping people navigate their most challenging seasons—specializing in substance use recovery and child and adolescent mental health.
My background is rooted in a BA in Psychology from the University of Delaware and an MSW from West Chester University. While my training prepared me to navigate complex medical and educational systems like school IEP/504 meetings, disciplinary boards, hospital teams, and the foster care system, my real-world experience has taught me that every individual and family needs a unique, compassionate approach.
I’m a firm believer that the world needs more laughter, and that therapy doesn't always have to feel heavy. When I’m not in the office, I’m usually painting or glued to a good book. I believe that therapy, much like art, is a process of creation and discovery, and I’d be honored to walk that path with you.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Newark
Searching for therapists in Newark starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. People look for therapy for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and work stress. As you compare therapists in Newark, DE, look for someone whose listed specialties, therapy approach, and experience match what you want to focus on. A therapist’s profile can also show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Newark has a smaller local therapy market than larger metro areas, so virtual appointments can expand your options while still keeping care connected to Delaware. You may prefer an in-person office near areas like Chestnut Hill, Laird, or Elkton Pike, or you may want the flexibility of virtual sessions from home. Beyond specialty, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading bios before booking can help you understand each therapist’s style, session structure, and communication approach.
Therapy in Newark can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you search for licensed Delaware therapists, verify your insurance, review estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly with therapists who are accepting new patients. You can browse therapists, compare profiles, and choose a time when you’re ready.
