LMFT, 7 years of experience
Hello there! I’m Marco. If you’re struggling to cope with life’s challenges, I can help you navigate these obstacles and discover a path forward. I’m a bilingual Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist committed to helping people learn how to build healthier relationships with themselves and the people they care most about. My work focuses on targeting ineffective patterns, habits, and beliefs around the self and interpersonal relationships. I wholeheartedly believe in taking a collaborative approach to helping clients reach their goals. If you’re interested in scheduling a consultation with me, please send an appointment request. PLEASE NOTE: I am not currently taking on couples at this time.
In our first session, we’ll start with brief introductions and focus on making sure the fit feels right. The main goal of the intake is for you to get a sense of who I am and how I work, and to decide whether I might be the right therapist for you. I’ll share more about my approach and check in to see if that aligns with what you’re looking for. This session won’t be centered on a deep dive into your full history—because I understand how exhausting it can be to open up, only to realize it’s not the right match. I want to avoid putting you through that if I’m not the best fit.
I have experience working with adolescents, families, LGBTQIA+, adults, and older adults experiencing the following, but not limited to: Minority Issues, Anxiety, Depression, Life Transitions, Addiction, Personality Disorders, Immigration stress, Gender Identity, Sexual Orientation and an extensive array of other mental health concerns.
I love working with queer folks, folks dealing with anxiety and depression, and folks trying to heal from trauma of all kinds. My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about what steps to take next.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a type of talk therapy (psychotherapy). It’s based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), but it’s specially adapted for people who experience emotions very intensely. This can often lead to emotional dysregulation that presents in extreme behaviors such as aggression or complete avoidance and shutting down. DBT focuses on helping people accept the reality of their lives and their behaviors, as well as helping them learn to change their lives, including their unhelpful behaviors. I utilize DBT skills in sessions as they become applicable to any challenges the client is wanting to overcome. Each session will cover a new DBT skill that will allow the client to function in a more skillful, effective manner so that they can achieve any, and all, life goals they've set for themselves.

I loved working with Marco. He is authentic and non-judgemental. He challenged me when needed, provided me with tools I needed, and followed my pace.

Marco is easy to work with, no matter how challenging the task. He really cares and is very patient. I felt the compassion and care. I was so tired of being burden on others with all my needs, and I never once felt like I was a burden to him. I look forward to working with him again in the future.
