Therapists in Seaside Park, NJ

I am a Bilingual (Spanish/English) Pastoral Counselor with over three decades of experience accompanying individuals and communities through some of life’s most challenging circumstances. My work has focused extensively on survivors of disasters and crises, individuals affected by humanitarian emergencies, and those navigating the complex realities of migration-related trauma. Throughout my career, I have also provided support to disaster response personnel experiencing compassion fatigue, as well as to veterans facing adjustment and reintegration challenges. These experiences have shaped a practice grounded in presence, cultural humility, and a deep respect for the human capacity to endure and rebuild. I believe that healing begins with accompaniment—the willingness to walk alongside individuals with empathy, attentiveness, and compassion. My approach emphasizes creating safe spaces where people can process trauma, rediscover meaning, and reconnect with hope. I am particularly attentive to those who, due to age, loss, or prolonged hardship, feel overwhelmed or unable to move forward. My work is guided by a commitment to restoring dignity, fostering resilience, and supporting individuals not only in surviving adversity, but in reclaiming a sense of purpose and possibility. Additional Areas of Focus: I work with individuals facing concerns related to self-esteem, attachment, communication, blended family dynamics, family-of-origin issues, fatherhood, commitment concerns, and infidelity. I also support people coping with disaster-related stress, immigration challenges, multicultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination, social anxiety, post-traumatic stress, life purpose questions, and young adult transitions. My practice also includes work with first responders, veterans, and individuals or families navigating adoption, foster care, intellectual disability, and other complex personal or relational concerns.
