Hi – I’m Ruben and I’m originally from Southern California.

Associate Marriage & Family Therapist in San Francisco, CA

About My Clients

It was through my own self-discovery in therapy that led me to pursue a career change into mental health. Unveiling the layers of my own identity, I discovered that I am more than the sum of my experiences, and that realization ignited a fervent desire to guide others on their own empowering journeys. Now, I’m on a mission to create a space for couples and individuals to explore their own narratives.

My Background and Approach

With experience working with couples and individuals with anxiety, depression, relationship issues/conflict, life transitions, self-esteem, and trauma. My therapeutic approach revolves around a collaborate relationship with clients aiming to comprehend their multifaceted selves and establish goals to reduce distress. My practice is firmly rooted by neurodiversity, LGBTQIA+ affirmation, and intersectionality, providing a supportive space for self-identified third culture kids and people of color.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I firmly believe that that traumatic experiences can overwhelm our coping mechanisms, shaping narratives that influence our perception of events. In a world inundated with information that molds our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, my focus is on promoting self-discovery against social constructs that may be distressing our lived experiences. Together, let’s navigate the complexities of life and foster resilience through understanding and empowerment.
