My clients express frustration with relationships and a need for guidance at a difficult time. We are- many of us- working to heal from family conflict and to recover from disordered eating, insufficient sleep, and an overabundance of substance usage in society. Living in an atmosphere of fear, blame, and comparison we seek to grow and thrive in our current world.

There are many reasons eating disorders are invited into your life. Just as there are many reasons why a person develops an eating disorder, the way you recover will be just as unique. If there was a one-size-fits- all solution, that would perhaps be as deceptive as the problem itself. Whether it’s perfectionism, judgment, loneliness, self-improvement, health, fear, family issues… Together we will discover what invites these problems into your life, and begin to find what recovery means for you.
Are you struggling with feeling inferior; feeling superior; needing to be perfect; feeling you're a burden; or people pleasing? When we grow up in difficult circumstances, we come up with these beliefs/ways of being as a way to help us feel a little more safe. As difficult as it is to hold these beliefs about ourselves, they somehow help us feel better. As we grow up, they create difficulties in our adult relationships.
Sexuality & pleasure are stigmatized, this plays into how we feel about ourselves, our bodies. I specialize in sex, intimacy and relationship issues specifically undoing harmful stories which no longer work for us, which hold us back, harm us. I work to re-educate, and then to empower. I work with clients to signifcantly reduce distress and undo longer standing concerns. Find your truth and build on that!
I work with successful and creative individuals, as well as those who have high-stress jobs. Although everything may seem fine on paper, it's often a different story on the inside. You might be feeling burnt out and going through the motions, or you could be feeling overwhelmed by your emotions. Many people find themselves stuck in survival mode, caused by several factors such as unconscious unmet needs or stuck trauma patterns. The good news is there is a gentle and safe way through!

I provide therapy to a diverse population of adults and work closely with First and Second Generation Hispanic/Latinx Individuals. I work with individuals and couples who are experiencing an array of issues such as: anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, and relationship difficulties. In addition, I work closely with Adult Children of Alcoholics who have been deeply affected by the effects of the disease.
I specialize in men's issues, relationship struggles, anxiety, low self-worth, and help all my clients to prioritize their self-care as they navigate burnout and boundary setting. I'm sensitive to themes of people pleasing, perfectionism, internet/gaming addiction, life/career transitions, and work/life balance. I collaborate with clients of all backgrounds and lifestyles in both English and Spanish. I take pride in supporting couples (poly/kink friendly) and individuals (LGBTQI+ affirmative).
Do you feel like you're trudging through life, weighed down by a constant sense of sadness & worry? Perhaps the joy you once knew has faded, replaced by a persistent feeling of being stuck. You're not alone. Millions of adults struggle with depression, anxiety, ADHD, & an overwhelming sense of being trapped in a cycle of negativity. I understand the profound impact these conditions can have on your daily life. The relentless drain of energy and the crippling anxieties can be really difficult.
Being human is hard. When two different people, flaws and all, form a relationship, it’s harder. When those two decide that they want to swing with other couples, that can be even more complicated. Or perhaps they decide to open up their relationship on occasion. What are the boundaries? How about when those two humans become part of a triad, or quad? There might be some unique challenges with that choice as well. And jealousy! Navigating yours, and theirs, is not for the faint of heart.
Do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed by stress in your personal life, career, or relationships? Are you struggling to find meaning in your work and experiencing burnout? Do you also grapple with anxiety or depression? I specialize in guiding individuals through these challenges, helping them find clarity, resilience, and fulfillment in their lives. As a therapist, I have a particular focus on supporting sensitive and empathetic individuals, especially those in creative professions.

In Today's World, we often find ourselves in really complex issues. If you are feeling a bit lost, that’s ok. Struggles with overwhelm, feeling burdened, searching for self and relational complexities are a normal part of living. Navigating Modern Challenges with Compassion and Insight is Key. It is important to have healthy strategies in place and create a way forward. Regardless of the challenges, therapy isn't just about coping; it's about thriving.
Is your desire for sex low or non-existent? Or, are you compulsively seeking sex to the detriment of your career, health and relationships? I successfully treat men, women and couples who struggle with a variety of sex-related issues including low libido, painful intercourse, open/poly relationships erectile dysfunction, vulvadynia/vaginismus as well as sexual inexperience.
I strive to create a safe and affirming space for clients to engage and connect with their whole self. I am passionate about working with individuals, partners, young adults and the LGBTQIA+ community struggling with libido, erectile issues, self-esteem, trauma, spirituality, desire discrepancy, infidelity, intimacy, gender identity, and sexual orientation. My ideal clients are ready to fully show up and claim their pleasure.
Feeling like you don’t fit in is stressful, isolating, and leads to fatigue. You’re left trying to figure out what to do next with very little support to guide you. Our society has rigid expectations that we can't help but internalize. As a cis gay man, I understand how isolating and frustrating this can be. I approach therapy with a warm, curious, and empathic style. You deserve to be understood and have deeper clarity.

It's important to work with a therapist who really gets you! Our therapists appreciate that we each have unique stories that shape us and that we all want to know that we belong. We work with diverse clients and specialize in helping you create more meaningful relationships & intimacy, heal trauma, cope with oppression & toxic culture, navigate life transitions, manage anxiety, embrace intersections of identity, feel more empowered as Highly Sensitive People, and feel less broken or alone.
While I work with a wide range of folks, I tend to be the person folks come to when other therapies haven't worked. Relational Somatic Psychotherapy is a deep and powerful therapeutic approach. It works at a very deep and primal level. We combine neuro-biologically informed treatment with mindfulness, movement, traditional talk therapy, drama therapy and more, all in the container of our relationship.
You're tired of struggling with obsessive thoughts about food and your body. Maybe you've been stuck restricting, emotional eating, binging, or over-exercising. You work hard to stick to the plan, but you just feel like you can’t be trusted around food. People think you “have it all” but inside it feels like you’re a total fraud. Each day, you're determined to do things differently, but you have no idea where to start. I can help.
