LMHC, 10 years of experience
New to Grow
Hello! I am driven to empower individuals, couples, and families to overcome challenges and reach their full potential. My ideal client is navigating trauma, substance use, spiritual struggles, or relational conflicts. A client seeking clarity, healing, and stability—especially adolescents, neurodiverse individuals, and those with dual diagnoses. With guidance, they pursue emotional resilience, faith-integrated growth, and meaningful change grounded in compassionate, expert support.
I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you understand how thoughts affect emotions and experiences. In our first session, we'll explore what brought you here and choose supportive ways to move forward. Together, we'll work on gently challenging unhelpful thoughts so you can feel more balanced, hopeful, and empowered. I have broad education and experience with Autism Spectrum, adolescents reaching stabilization and daily functioning, Spiritual Pastoral/Christian Counseling recognizing, processing, managing and overcoming trauma, substance/alcohol abuse and dual diagnosis.
I was born in Guatemala, CA and raised in the USA. I'm what you call a "true bilingual". I speak, write and can do therapy in both languages - Spanish and English. Reaching out for help can be so tough. I am here for you and ready to inspire change and growth! I have two Master's Degrees in Leadership and Marriage & Family Therapy. I am also a certified Life Coach, Ordained Minister, Certified in PREPARE & ENRICH and an EMDR trained clinician.
I specialize in guiding individuals, couples, and families through trauma, substance use, neurodiversity, and spiritual struggles. With clinical skill and pastoral insight, I help clients stabilize, grow, and thrive—offering tailored support that restores hope and empowers lasting change.
If desired, integrating your faith into therapy is one of the best ways we believe you can tackle mental health issues. Edgar's goal is bring you closer to God and figure out core issues in your life.
Our thoughts eventually determine our behavior. We will work on targeting negative thought patterns and in turn having better behaviors and actions.
Bringing two people together is no easy task, there is no shame in having a middle man to help get you all on the same page. Whether it is communication, parenting, intimacy or finances, Edgar is here to help!
Trauma therapy helps individuals process painful experiences in a safe, supportive environment, fostering emotional healing and resilience. It empowers clients to regain a sense of control, develop healthier coping strategies, and rebuild trust in themselves and others.
