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.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions. The primary goal of the intake is for you to get to know me and determine if I truly am the best fit for you as your therapist. I will go over my therapy approach and ask if this aligns with your own expectations of therapy. The intake will not be primarily a session where I will have you review your history of what is bringing you to therapy. I understand that I may not be the best fit for you, and I would hate to be just another therapist with whom you spilled your whole life story just for us not to be a match, thus having to do that all over again with another therapist.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

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, Challenges with Immigration, Gender Identity, Sexual Orientation and an extensive array of other mental health concerns.

My treatment methods

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

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.
