He works with clients facing a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family challenges, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem struggles, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. His work also addresses attachment issues, codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, substance-related concerns, and other mood or life-purpose difficulties.

He commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and introduce healthier habits, and he draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based principles to support emotional processing and relational repair.
His style centers on building a collaborative therapeutic relationship that honors each person’s history and strengths while helping them move toward goals. Fluent in English and Spanish, he offers a client-centered approach that emphasizes human connection and respect for individual narratives.
His LCSW credential and long tenure in the field inform a thoughtful, flexible practice aimed at helping people navigate complex life transitions and emotional challenges.
Integrating evidence-based approaches into online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and build healthier habits; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and mood-related concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages clients to clarify personal values and learn skills for accepting difficult feelings while committing to meaningful action, which can be helpful for stress, trauma-related issues, and substance-related patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns and emotional bonds to improve communication and repair attachment injuries, making it useful for relationship and intimacy-related challenges.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and he works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions may blend techniques as appropriate, and goals are revisited together as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to fit care into busy schedules and access support from different locations. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care while tailoring the session style to what feels most comfortable and effective for each person.
