I was born and raised in Southern California and have called New York City home for over 15 years—I love the city’s energy, culture, and sense of endless possibility. As a multiethnic, gay, Latine man, I know firsthand how powerful it is to work with a clinician who honors identity and lived experience. “Latine” reflects my pride in my heritage and an inclusive commitment across gender identities—values I bring to every session. Alongside my clinical training, I draw on nearly two decades in higher education leadership, helping individuals and teams grow with compassion and accountability. As an adoptee and former foster youth, I understand trauma, resilience, and the courage healing requires. I’m especially passionate about supporting LGBTQ+ clients and people from underserved or culturally diverse communities. Outside of work, you’ll find me at an R&B concert, lounging at the beach, or spending quality time with my chosen friends and family.
