His humanistic framework and compassionate personality offer a nurturing healing environment for clients with chronic illness and the LGBTQIA+ community.

What was your path to becoming a mental health provider?

I decided to be a Clinical Psychologist in 7th grade. I grew up in a loving and nurturing family which inspired me to help others. My passion and determination provided me the strength to overcome a Cancer diagnose and treatment, shaping my personal and professional life with Resilience. Surviving Cancer (3 times), transformed my Clinical approach in an Holistic and Integrative Model with an Humanistic focus. I want to reconnect you with the meaning of your life, with your resilience, your inner peace and healing. I want to support you, with a non judgmental perspective, but with unconditional positive regard and compassion. If you feel this connected with my history and approach, feel free to contact me. I'll love to work with you.

What should someone know about working with you?

I know how complex is to share our lives, feelings and thoughts with a non familiar person. I honor the unique process of each individual providing a safe environment to decide what to share at their own pace. My clients receive a non judgmental feedback which motivates them to embrace their lives with acceptance, self- compassion and hope. I invite all the LGBTQIA+ Community, Hispanic, and people with Chronic Illness to explore a positive healing way to transform their challenges in an opportunity to reconnect themselves with their own Resilience and Empowerment. Hispanos: Estoy listo para apoyarte en tu idioma. LGBTQIA+: I'm Gay and I understand what our Community needs. Chronic Illness: I Survived Cancer. I understand You.

How do you continue learning and building new skills?

As Holistic Psychologist I was certified as Reiki Master, Yoga Teacher, Mindfulness Instructor and Craneosacral Therapist. I completed a Post Doctoral Degree in Spiritual Intelligence which enriched my integrative practice. I'm specialized in Mind/Body Integration, Mindfulness, Wilderness Therapy, Nature Based therapy, Stress Relief, Trauma, Affirmative Therapy and others.

The core of my practice is my ability to connect with my clients with empathy and professionalism, fostering their self discovery and healing.
