If sex, intimacy, or feeling disconnected from your partner is what's been sitting heavy lately, that's work I do, and work I take seriously. I help adults and couples with sexual concerns, intimacy, and relationship connection, and I bring a trauma-informed, no-judgment approach to all of it. I'm building this part of my practice under the supervision of an AASECT-certified sex therapist, working toward that certification myself. I also work with anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, men's issues, and life transitions. Over 10+ years I've worked across schools, community programs, residential treatment, and inpatient care, and what I've learned is that what actually moves the needle is honest conversation, real connection, and flexibility. No one-size-fits-all, because people aren't one size. A little about me outside the room: mountain biker, soccer player, music lover in English and Spanish, and a proudly colorblind guy who spent three years of college sure his favorite shoes were brown. They were green. We all have blind spots. That's kind of the point.
First sessions are straightforward. I want to know who you are before I know what's wrong. We'll talk about what's bringing you in, what you've already tried, and what you actually want to be different.
Therapy works best when it feels like a real conversation. I'm not here to hand you a list of things to fix. I'm here to think alongside you, push back when it's useful, and make space for the kind of honesty that's hard to find anywhere else. You're more than the title you carry, parent, partner, professional. You're a whole person navigating a complicated life, and that's what we work with.
If you are ready to feel closer to your partner, get back your desire, heal from the inside out, and be able to smile--genuinely, I would be more than happy to do what I can to help you get there. If Spanish is more comfortable, fully or partially, we work in Spanish. The offer's always open. Not sure I'm the right fit? Reach out. I'd rather have that conversation than have you pick the wrong person.

My approach is eclectic, which just means I don't force everyone into the same method. Depending on what you need, I draw from CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-informed care to keep safety, trust, and your pace at the center.
