My Training and Experience

I am a bilingual (Spanish and English) first-generation college graduate and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker Associate in Oregon and Washington. I hold a Master’s Degree in Social Work and have worked with BIPOC, Latinx, and houseless communities in both clinical and non-clinical settings since 2018. I participate in ongoing supervision to ensure professional growth and meet ethical standards, allowing me to best support you.

My approach to psychotherapy is warm, empathic, and collaborative. I practice through a trauma-informed and intersectional lens, recognizing the pressures of systems, culture, and daily interactions. Together, we’ll explore your story to help you release grief, imposter syndrome, anger, or other emotions that may be taking up your time and energy. My goal is to help you step out of overwhelming thought patterns and move toward the life you desire.

I place a particular focus on the wellness of men, especially men of color. As a cisgender, first-generation, U.S.-born Latino male, I understand how challenging it can be for men to find spaces to be vulnerable, heal, and grow while holding themselves to high standards in their careers and personal lives. I strive to create a space where men can connect with their emotions and align their values with their goals.
