Hello, my name is Sergio and I practice a Humanistic approach which focuses on an individual's inherent and continued personal growth. I have over ten years experience which includes adults, children, couples and families within a variety of social contexts. The core principles that form the foundation of my counseling practice are the same that guide my own personal life. I love my work and I am happy and hopeful to help you.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

First sessions tend to be focused on getting to know the client and the initial concerns.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I am genuine, I love what I do and I believe in you.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My ideal client is one where a trustful therapeutic relationship can develop. Within our relationship, my mission is to understand and help you gain awareness through my lens, as means to improve your experience in life. Within that mission, I will uphold truth, your best interest and an underlying principle of upholding hope. Therefore, I do not accept status quo, I will not convince you of a need towards change, it must come within you. I am here to make it grow with you.

Incredibly insightful, reflective, and empowering. His style of questioning has led to life-changing revelations. I give my highest recommendation possible!

I am very happy with my first session with Sergio. He was very easy to talk to and helped me to look at things with more clarity. Looking forward to our next session.

I like how he is explaining why he is asking certain questions. Even though it was my first session, it gives a sense of purpose and allows the patient to feel like a part of the process as opposed to being told what's going on and what needs to happen.
