In the 10 plus years I have been working in mental health, the one thing I can say for certain is that everyone has the capacity to heal and grow with strengths and skills already present within. Whether you are an athlete looking to align your mental strength with your physical skill, a child or adolescent learning to cope with change and transition, or a parent attempting to guide your child through life's challenges in the best way possible for them, I am here to provide guidance. I work collaboratively with clients and families to address symptoms of anxiety, depression, and behavioral challenges that impact functioning and performance in their everyday lives. I also look to help those athletes whom would like to increase their mental strength in order to elevate their success on and off the playing field. In my personal life, I am a husband, father, jiujitsu practitioner, and golf addict. I love to sit and enjoy a good cup of coffee with my daughter as we bing watch her current cartoon obsession. I love my family and getting outdoors. I am also bilingual Spanish speaking, with deep connection to my Guatemalan and El Salvadorian roots. My mantra in life is to try and "accept everything and judge nothing". When we can attempt to be present in every moment, we give ourselves the best chance at the healthiest response.
