My clinical focus mirrors my lived experience as someone who identifies as a member of LGBTQ+ community, has been in ethically non-monogamous, open relationships, and who has multicultural and multiethnic roots (Mexican, Spanish and North African). I enjoy working with adult men who are exploring their gender, sexuality, and relationships; members of the LGBTQ+ and BDSM/kink communities, and sexual trauma survivors.
I have been extensively trained in trauma-informed modalities such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, The Flash Technique, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Slaying the Dragon Framework. My current practice as a sex therapist allows me to provide sex+ psychoeducation and therapy to clients for issues related to self-affirming and safe exploration of their sexuality, relationship style and hierarchy, and kinks and fetishes. I aim to help clients in accepting and loving the parts of themselves that they have disowned or hidden throughout their lifespan due to negative influences from their families of origin, peers, and society.
Let's face it. . . .counseling and therapy are SCARY. However, if you are on Psychology Today or TherapyDen or any other therapy platform looking for a therapist, something inside of you has clicked and is asking (perhaps, begging) for deeper reflection and healing. Whether it is someone else or myself who you choose as a therapist, I believe you should honor your journey at your own pace and always trust that YOU know what is best for YOU. I believe you already know what you need and I am happy to be that mirror that reflects it back to you. My belief is "Everyone already has their own answers, they just need someone to ask the right questions."
