About Rafael

As a therapist, my primary goal is to provide a safe, calm and steady presence for you as you navigate the challenges you are facing. My approach draws upon cognitive behavioral, dialectic behavioral, EMDR, and psychodynamic perspectives to match the needs of each individual person, family, and couple.  My style has been described as collaborative, warm, interactive, direct, and non-judgmental. I use a variety of techniques to bridge the gap between the conscious and unconscious. In doing so, balance is achieved between the self and the world allowing for healing and growth.

About Me

For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?

There is such importance with allowing yourself to be vulnerable amd grow.  While this can be a very scary idea, everyone deserves the chance to enter a non-judgements place where they can receive authentic support to talk about anything and everything.  It can be freeing as we all spend so much of our life trying to manage our needs with those of others.  This can be the chance to discover what it is that you need.m to live a full and balanced life.
