Bilingual therapist helping men heal from trauma, addiction, and life's hardest moments, one honest conversation at a time.
About
I'm a bilingual (Spanish and English) Associate Marriage and Family Therapist based in Turlock, CA, and I work with adults, teens, and children navigating some of life's toughest challenges. My experience is rooted in helping adult men work through grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, family conflict, and addiction, including sexual and pornography addiction. I completed my Masters in Counseling Psychology at National University with a dual concentration in Marriage Family Therapy and Professional Clinical Counseling.
My approach is direct, warm, and built around you. I use CBT to help you understand the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sessions are active and goal-focused because we work, not just talk. I also draw on DBT, Motivational Interviewing, Play Therapy, and a faith-based framework when that fits what you're looking for. Whether you're celebrating a sobriety milestone, untangling family-of-origin patterns, or just trying to figure out why you keep shutting down, I'm here to help you make sense of it and move forward.
I have a special focus on sexual addiction and porn recovery, offering a safe, non-judgmental space to heal. I also work with couples, families, and kids, and I bring a Christian counseling lens to sessions when clients want that. My style is casual and real. I'll challenge you when you need it, celebrate your wins with genuine enthusiasm, and meet you exactly where you are.
If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just ready to make a change, reach out. I offer a free 15-minute consultation and I'm available both in person and via telehealth. Help is just a conversation away.
