I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor, and my mission is to provide a sanctuary for healing and growth. My specialization in trauma, ADHD, substance use, and culturally affirming care is deeply informed by my own experiences as a proud Philadelphian, Puerto Rican, queer, and neurodivergent individual. I know firsthand what it feels like to navigate the world as 'other,' and it's in helping you embrace and advocate for your true, authentic self that I find my greatest purpose.

My therapeutic approach integrates proven psychotherapy techniques with mindfulness and brain-based coaching, fostering a powerful connection between your mind and body. We'll collaboratively set achievable goals and map out practical strategies to build resilience and a strong sense of self-agency. My aim is to help you not just face challenges, but to truly thrive and create a balanced, fulfilling life.

My professional journey has included impactful work in detox/rehab, youth residential facilities, intensive outpatient programs, and managed care. Off-duty, my life is filled with love for my wife, dog, and cats. I maintain a connection to my active past as a retired Muay Thai fighter and rugby player, and I stay grounded through CrossFit, mindfulness, and Yin Yoga. You might also catch me hiking with my dog, gardening, playing guitar, or enjoying a quiet moment of meditation. Let's build something beautiful together.
