Hello! My name is Brian, and I'm a clinical social worker. I've been in the field for 27 years, helping people conquer their troubles, transitions, and major decisions, both big and small.

I attended Fordham University Graduate School of Social Service and I'm currently obtaining my PhD in Clinical social Work. I specialize in men's issues, Developmental Trauma, sex therapy, and all types of addiction treatment, both substance and process addictions.

I'm a bilingual therapist (English and Spanish) who came to Virginia from Bolivia in 2003. Before entering private practice, I spent years working in Child Protective Services and maternal health — systems that gave me an honest, on-the-ground understanding of what families face when life gets complicated. That experience still shapes how I show up for clients today: I'm not here to give you textbook answers. I'm here to sit with the real thing. I specialize in trauma, PTSD, anxiety, BPD, maternal mental health, and the kind of grief that doesn't fit on a sympathy card. I'm especially attuned to the unique pressures of immigration, cultural identity, and what it means to build a life in a country that wasn't your starting point. If you've ever felt like no one really gets the full picture of who you are, that's exactly the kind of space I try to create.
