About Me

I strive to empower individuals to be in tune with their deepest truths and to relate to life in a more authentic way. By providing a warm and accepting style, I hope my clients feel safe to express what matters to them. My therapeutic approach is strongly influenced by more than 10 years of dedicated mindfulness practice. Through such practices, I have come to understand the value of becoming curious about our present mental state. I believe paying close attention to our experience is fundamental in developing emotional resiliency. Thus, I utilize mindfulness and somatic approaches in supporting people to become more aware of their thoughts, feelings, and body sensations. In doing so, I trust that our ability to welcome our experience creates possibilities for healing and being emotionally stronger.

I have over 6 years of experience working in multiple mental health settings with people of different ages, ethnic backgrounds, religious affiliations, socioeconomic statuses, sexual orientations, and various mental health conditions. I welcome people from all walks of life, and have worked with a wide range of clients.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist. My educational background includes two masters in psychology.

I specialize in:
- Help with emotional regulation skills
- People with depression and anxiety
- Individuals with mixed cultures or of immigrant descent
- Men looking to enhance their emotional intelligence
- People who want to integrate their spiritual practice with daily life
- Individuals struggling with substance use and other repetitive behaviors
- Mindfulness and Somatic Psychotherapy

I feel really lucky that I can continue working with Juan, learning from him and with him for few more weeks. He offers an incredible gift of deep compassion, acceptance and wholehearted presence. He cares to understand, asks questions, and listens. Juan is a kind, gentle, sensitive, incredibly intelligent person who offers these virtues generously as professional qualities.

He's a wonderful counselor. Not only does he take his job seriously, he also cares for his patients individually and with the utmost concern.

After having used better help with Juan for a few months now, I can say I surely won't be stopping any time soon. I travel a lot for work and wouldn't be able to be in therapy otherwise. I've gotten so much out of it too, and have suggested it to multiple people who were having a hard time finding a therapist who have gone on to use the service as well!

Juan is one of my favorite people ever as he has played a pivotal role in my growth over this past year. The way he accepted me and gave me the chance to dig deep and identify root causes to the soothing techniques he's taught or refined for me has been truly heartfelt. I look forward to spending 2019 working with Juan and capitalizing on his compassionate and authenticity!

I'm only still using BetterHelp because of Juan and my use of the app is directly tied to Juan as my Godsend!

I would just quickly like to say that Juan has been very helpful during a difficult period. I would recommend him to anyone as he listens and also offers great insight. There is so much more to say. I will need to continue to sing his praises in future reviews.
