As a Latino, I realize it can be difficult to challenge the social norms that we grew up with. Our hardships are often hidden beneath layers of cultural expectations and pressures. Core values like family loyalty, faith, and resilience aren’t inherently harmful, but they can make it more difficult to speak up when we struggle. Perhaps you’ve even minimized your pain or questioned if it’s “bad enough”. Whether you’re navigating religious trauma/PTSD, ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, or a mix of all five, my goal is to help you heal and explore what it means to be a whole person, not just someone living up to external expectations.
Although I welcome clients from all backgrounds, I specialize in working with Latino men. As a queer therapist, my focus is on the unique pressures men face around masculinity, sexuality, emotional suppression, and shame. Many of us are taught that asking for help isn’t “manly” and that strength means staying silent, but that doesn’t make all your problems go away.
I approach therapy with cultural humility and respect, offering you a space where your vulnerability is both valued and welcomed. If you’re questioning your faith, healing from spiritual abuse, or trying to reconnect with your spirituality on your own terms, I’d be happy to walk alongside you as you navigate your own path toward growth.

Como latinos, a veces es difícil cuestionar las normas sociales con las que crecimos. Muchas veces, nuestros desafíos están escondidos bajo de expectativas culturales y presiones sociales. Valores como familismo, la fe, y la resiliencia no son malos, pero puede ser más difícil para hablar cuando estamos sufriendo. Si estas navegando trauma religioso, ADHD, autismo, depresión, ansiedad o una combinación de estos, mi objetivo es ayudarte a explorar lo que significa ser una persona completa, no solo alguien que intenta cumplir las expectativas de los demás.
Trabajo con todos, pero especializo en trabajar con hombres latinos. Me enfoco en las presiones únicas que enfrentamos alrededor de la masculinidad, la represión emocional y vergüenza. A muchos de nosotros nos enseñaron que pedir ayuda no es “masculino” y que ser fuerte es quedarse callado. Pero fingir que todo está bien no hace que el dolor desaparezca.
Mi enfoque terapéutico se basa en la humildad cultural y el respeto. Si estás cuestionando tu fe, sanando de abuso espiritual, o quieres reconectar con tu religion, sería un honor acompañarte en ese camino.
