About

Accepting new clients - If you're having trouble regulating your own emotions or communicating with others, I can help you. Just like top athletes need trainers, to build our "emotional muscles" many of us need some someone who can accompany us in our learning process. I would love to work alongside as you do the healing needed to prepare to be in a healthy relationship or to build skills to strengthen your current relationship. Feel free to call me for a free 15 minute consultation, if you want to see if we are the right fit. Or, you can book an appointment directly through my website. To heal past trauma and learn new skills , I draw upon Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (certified by EMDR International Association in 2020) or Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (trained in 2024). To help couples learn new skills, I use Gottman Method couples therapy. All three therapies are evidence-based and provide relief. As someone who has done his own healing work, I understand the challenges that come with healing past wounds and learning new skills to communicate more effectively. In addition, I am comfortable working with families who are navigating autism/special needs, adoption, or infertility. Book with me now by clicking on my website Specialties: For the treatment of trauma, anxiety or depression, I would generally spend 1 session getting to know you and your history well. I would immediately share with you 2 new skills that you could use right away. If your challenges are connected to past trauma, I recommend using EMDR or Trauma-Focused CBT to process Credentials & Experience: Certified in EMDR by EMDR International Association - On the language Line Solutions Bilingual Fluency Assessment for Clinicians Report, I earned a score of "Outstanding" in the 99th percentile in Spanish proficiency

"He is an exceptional therapist. His depth of experience, combined with his thoughtful and creative approach, sets him apart in his field.
