Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that's triggered by a traumatic, scary or dangerous event. PTSD can be caused by either witnessing or experiencing the trauma. Events that sometimes trigger PTSD include everything from sexual assault, war, and violence, to car accidents or other incidents that could cause loss of life. It is not at all uncommon for people who go through something traumatic to have temporary difficulty coping and acute symptoms, but with time, they usually get better. However, if the symptoms last longer than a month, get worse rather than better and affect your ability to function, you may be suffering from PTSD. Symptoms of PTSD may include severe anxiety, anger, nightmares, trouble sleeping, flashbacks to the event, frightening thoughts, avoidance of situations or places, feeling on edge and/or being easily startled. If you think you may be experiencing PTSD, reach out to one of TherapyDen’s specialists today to get help.
As I mentioned in my intro, I like to work in a partnership with my client. You are the expert of you and I am on your journey with you to get to your chosen direction. I have experience working with people of many different backgrounds (socioeconomic, race, gender). I very much look forward to meeting you, learning from you (remember, you are the expert of you), and our working together to help you go where you want to go.

Do you struggle with intimacy, with low sexual desire or dysfunction? Are you a couple that experiences the same old conflicts, have difficulty communicating or just aren't having the connection/sexual relationship you want? Has your world been rocked by partner betrayal, whether it be an affair or something else? Do you struggle with esteem/feeling worthy? Then you're in the right place! I can help w/sexual desire discrepancy/dysfunction, w/affair recovery and other relational issues.
Do you often feel overwhelmed by anxiety and perfectionism, feeling paralyzed by the pressure to get everything right? You may deal with a relentless inner critic that constantly makes you question your abilities and decisions, leaving you feeling like an imposter despite your accomplishments.
My clients are individuals living with anxiety, depression, and PTSD related to chronic illness and/or lived experience of violence (individual, community, intergenerational, historical) and are seeking a safe and compassionate space for tending to and processing the past, connecting to the present, growing skills, and healing. I specialize in working with those living with complex medical diagnoses (or multiple symptoms with no diagnosis), challenging prognoses, and "watchful waiting."

When we feel most overwhelmed and stressed, we often find it difficult to prioritize what we value most. Our interests, our commitments, and the relationships most important to us often suffer when we are struggling. Therapy can offer us a space to reconnect with ourselves, and find a sense of peace and calm, allowing us to move closer to the people and areas of our lives we want. Therapy can help us enjoy life again the way we once used to.

As a proud Latino and member of the LGBTQ+ community, I am passionate about providing support for those who are marginalized in our society. Additionally, I am knowledgeable and affirming of kink/BDSM, non-monogamy, and sex work.

I strive to be genuine, non-judgmental, and unconditionally supportive no matter what a client bring into session.

In my work with individuals, I support those looking to address anxiety, stress management, trauma, gender, sexuality, and sex. As someone who lives with a chronic illness, I also personally understand the complexities of navigating the healthcare system. In my work with couples, I work with folks looking for support with relationship issues within monogamous and consensually non-monogamous relationships. I’m also passionate about meeting the unique needs of neurodiverse and LGBTQ+ couples.

Becoming a parent can be a landmine. What is often billed as simple, linear, and seamless can be filled with complicated emotions, experiences, and a sense of overwhelm. I work with people on all points of the birthing path- whether you are just thinking about having a child, trying to conceive, are pregnant or postpartum . This includes people struggling with infertility, pregnancy and infant loss, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, and birth trauma, as well as partners and birth workers.

I create space for clients to explore sexuality, gender, relationships and life transitions. I am kink and ethical nonmonogamy informed. Some of my clients are working on issues related to their identity, desire, or relationships. Other clients are looking for a space where they can work on anxiety, depression, or stress in a safe, informed and welcoming environment.

My ideal client is a person or couple that knows, no matter what they bring into a therapeutic space, they are valued, and they are the experts of their own lived experience. When we cross oceans together, you'll be the steering the ship, with me as your navigator. I understand the complex reality of intersectional identity that creates privilege or compounds to reinforce oppression and marginalization. My clients seek to live the best version of their lives and are willing to explore to do so.

My experience with clients tend to be adults between the ages of 18-65, across the racial, gender, and sexual orientation spectrum; I work with individuals, couples, and occasionally facilitate a DBT Skills Group. I hold space for those who’ve felt like outsiders—whether due to trauma, race, queerness, or a combination of underserved or historically excluded identities. As a queer, kinky, poly Black man, my own lived experience brings an extra layer of understanding to my work.

As the expert of your own experience, you deserve to be listened to and understood. I intend to hold space for all aspects of your unique identities. Everyone faces challenges and obstacles in the world. For many of us, these barriers are the result of systemic oppression. In therapy, we can explore how your thoughts, feelings, and motivations are influenced by these external forces, and how you can navigate them authentically, while centering your inherent capacity and resilience.
I provide therapy services to adolescents and adults of all ages. I specialize in helping individuals struggling with relationship problems, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, trauma, identity exploration, and grief. I have experience helping individuals with social anxiety, school/work-related stress, body dysmorphia, eating disorders, gender dysphoria, family conflict, and life transitions such as divorce, moving to a new city, job transition, and becoming a parent.
