Meeting your therapy needs at every intersection of life. Offering bilingual (Spanish) traditional talk therapy, art therapy, and EMDR to process through symptoms related to trauma, depression, anxiety, life adjustments, sex issues, and substance use histories.

He provides you a safe space with empathy and culturally sensitive humor to support you through your needs. LGBTQIA+ affirming and owned 🏳️🌈.
Being a therapist, art therapist, and person who can hold that safe space for you to process ancourages me to practice patience, empathy, and integrity. These values bring to life a greater sense of respect for the future of our world and I appreciate that. Seeing individuals being out their vulnerability to reorganize that feeling/state of being to create growth is amazing to witness!
