Hi, I’m a husband and father, my work as a therapist is deeply shaped by both my family life and my upbringing as the son of Salvadoran immigrants. I specialize in supporting men—especially new fathers—who are navigating challenges like depression, grief, and trauma. I’ve been in the field since 2015. I know firsthand how stigma can make it difficult for men to seek help, because I’ve seen it in my own culture and even experienced it myself when I first began therapy. My therapeutic approach is Solution-Focused, which emphasizes helping client to look beyond their limitations to achieve their desired outcomes. That’s why I’m committed about creating a space where men feel understood, and not supported. In addition to therapy, I provide professional immigration evaluations for hardship, asylum, and other types of cases. I’ve completed specialized training with the Immigration Evaluation Institute and other courses to ensure my reports are thorough. I’m based in Texas, and licensed in TX, FL, VA, UT, CT, NJ & CA.
