About My Clients

I specialize in supporting men—especially new fathers—who are navigating challenges like depression, grief, and trauma. I've been in the field since 2015. I know firsthand how stigma can make it difficult for men to seek help, because I’ve seen it in my own culture.

My Background and Approach

I'm licensed in FL, TX, VA, UT, CT, and NJ. I use a Solution-Focused approach, this approach allows us to discover what your desired outcome is in therapy. From there we can explore the pathways to achieve that change. Where you're coming from in this journey doesn't matter as much as where you want to go in life. There's a famous quote that says "I am not what has happened to me, I am who I choose to become". Hablo Español.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I strive to practice cultural humility with clients. Cultural humility provides a space for empathy & understanding when dealing with people from diverse backgrounds. My goal is to provide a safe space where people feel understood and seen.
