Aldo has been absolutely fantastic! He’s helped me through a very tough life change and given me tools to aid in controlling my emotions in a very short amount of time. He listens to what I have to say, responds very clearly, and is exactly the person you need in your corner to call you out when needed and validate you. He will get the job done!

Aldo is a passionate and joyful expert with a unique skill set for addressing underlying issues. He has helped me significantly in a short period of time offering me new frameworks of viewing the world and a set of ongoing therapeutic tools. Within a matter of months my sense of self worth, interpersonal and workplace relationships have all become stronger and bolder. I am grateful to have an experienced therapist like Aldo in my life. We also laugh a ton together and he allows me to not take things so seriously.

Excellent therapist, he speaks directly and clearly; he understands how you feel and he knows how he could help you rebuild yourself (reprogram your mind.)
