He/Him

I honor, as well as aspires to create, spaces where all identities feel safe and welcome. I whole heartedly believe that none of us are inherently broken, all we need is empathy and guidance to become the best version of ourselves. As a therapist, I am on a constant journey of growth and education. This allows me to approach and see therapeutic spaces and alliances with an open-mind and willingness to aid you in your own personal journey of growth.

As a gay latino cis-man, I understand the importance of finding and creating safe spaces for all our identities. I wholeheartedly believe that none of us are inherently broken and that through compassion, connection, and understanding we can truly become the best versions of ourselves. By embracing all the parts that make us…us, we truly become whole, moving forward towards our desired futures. 

Looking back at my own therapeutic experiences, I can’t help but feel appreciation for the spaces of deep empathy and understanding I was able to explore and discover who I was. That appreciation is what motivates and inspires my own therapeutic practice, in hopes of being able to create a similar space for you. I graduated from the University of Denver with my Masters in Arts in International Disaster Psychology, focused on Trauma and Global Mental Health. I’ve worked with individuals facing trauma, anxiety, depression, sexuality concerns, as well as couples seeking to better their relationship and couples seeking to explore different relationship styles.
