About My Clients

As a queer Latino man, I know it can be difficult to find a sense of belonging. I specialize in supporting individuals who have felt pressure to hide parts of themselves including those navigating Latinx or LGBTQ+ identities, ADHD, autism, PTSD, religious trauma, as well as men experiencing shame around masculinity and gender norms.

My Background and Approach

My approach to therapy is rooted in curiosity. I believe change happens most when you’re able to reflect on your experiences and then question the patterns that no longer serve you. Whether you’re exploring your identity, navigating a difficult life transition, or you just want someone to talk to, I’d be happy to work with you throughout your journey.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

You may have spent years putting everyone else's needs above your own. Perhaps you learned how to keep your struggles private because you've always felt like you had to handle things by yourself. Or maybe you're beginning to notice how your culture has shaped your values, perspectives, and the expectations you hold for yourself. If you resonate with any of these, that's where I can help. My priority is to help you understand what it means to be you. In therapy, I'll create the space for you to explore the beliefs you’ve carried, understand where they came from, and then decide what still belongs in the life you’re trying to build.
