As a licensed therapist in California, I help individuals navigate life’s emotional challenges with compassion and clarity. My work focuses on supporting those experiencing stress, anxiety, and difficulties in relationships or personal growth. Together, we’ll explore the thoughts and emotions that may be holding you back and build practical strategies to help you move forward with confidence.
I have extensive experience working with mood disorders, attachment concerns, panic attacks, and struggles related to self-worth, guilt, and shame. I also provide specialized support for fathers navigating the complexities of parenting, identity, and connection.
My approach is grounded in evidence-based therapies and a deep respect for each client’s unique story. I strive to create a space where you feel seen, understood, and empowered to create lasting change. Therapy with me is collaborative, culturally responsive, and centered on helping you strengthen your relationship with yourself and others.
If you’re ready to begin your journey toward healing and emotional balance, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

Working with Alejandro has been so helpful with the tools he has been teaching me in handling difficult situations. I appreciate his approach as it is not to change the external pressures but to be able to understand that it is external and use the tools to be at peace internally.

I believe Alejandro to really care about where I am currently at in my life and knows how to teach me to be a better version of myself. The journaling helps because of his feedback. He lets me know he understands me and encourages me to keep working hard in getting better. This is encouraging. Knowing I can feel better and make a difference in my life.

Alejandro is awesome at understanding ways to help get you on track with the way you think. He makes it easy to understand even if you’re overthinking it; has no problem rewording his prompts so that you can succeed in practicing healthier approaches to reach your goals. Also very patient and takes time to listen so that you are catered with the right strategies.
