Therapy style
Hello! I am a sex-positive, LGBTQIA+ affirming psychotherapist with experience working with LGBTQ+ individuals across inpatient and outpatient settings. I identify as a Latinx, Queer, Cis-male and enjoy working with clients of all genders and sexualities, especially LGBTQ+ individuals. I offer trauma-informed compassionate support to individuals sifting through the endless complexities of our modern life. I am dedicated to creating a warm, empathic, and most importantly authentic space for you to safely explore yourself, including your mind and heart. I aim to create a space where you can freely express all of your painful and angry feelings non-judgmentally. I bring many years of professional training and lived experiences which I incorporate into my practice to help you feel safe in exploring how you can build a more rewarding and fulfilling life.

Interests
In my spare time, I enjoy cooking Italian dishes and reading books that I can get lost in and that transport me to a different time and place. I also enjoy spending time with my cats who are great reading companions.
