Hello, I'm Mario, and I'm here to help you navigate the challenges you're facing, whether it's anxiety, grief, depression, or any other mental health concern. I believe that everyone has the strength within them to overcome their struggles, and my role is to support you in discovering and harnessing that strength. As Lao Tzu wisely said, “He who conquers others is strong; he who conquers himself is mighty!” This philosophy is at the heart of my counseling approach.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our sessions, you can expect a non-judgmental and objective space where we can work together to process your experiences and develop strategies for improvement. I am committed to being a pillar of support for you, regardless of your sex or gender.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
With 20 years of experience in the mental health field and 12 years specifically utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, I have had the privilege of helping many individuals from diverse backgrounds. My goal is to ensure that you leave each session feeling better equipped to handle life's challenges.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have been using CBT for the last 13 years; this is the foundation of my counseling approach. With these skills I have helped clients manage their depression, anxiety, and many other concerns making them be more in control of their lives.
Motivational Interviewing
I really enjoy using motivational interviewing as it is a very indirect manner of motivating the clients to take steps towards their goals.
Strength-Based
I have been using this approach for a number of years and it has been very successful as everyone has strengths. Perhaps some people have difficulty seeing their strengths and using them to their advantage. That's where I come in and help you recognize them and use them to foster personal growth.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I really enjoy teaching clients coping and problem-solving skills not for a day, but for a life-time.
