I'm the founder and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) at Positive Regard Therapy. I graduated with a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling which I completed after a successful 17 year career in corporate marketing. My clinical interests include: LGBTQ+ affirmative therapy (with a particular focus around issues affecting gay, bi or queer men), anxiety, depression, gender and sexual identity development and concerns around sex, relationships and intimacy.

My aim is to help empower clients. I create a supportive environment for individuals and couples of all kinds. I am especially interested in working with students and adolescents. I’ve lived a full life, and want to help others navigate some of life’s transitions. I was raised in Mexico and spent several years in various Latin American countries and Spain. I welcome clients who are adjusting to new ways of living. As a certified yoga instructor, I also believe that body and mind are connected and employ mindfulness techniques and somatic approaches. My goal is to provide a non-judgmental space that allows everyone to feel deeply understood for who they are.

I believe that you are the expert on your own life. As your therapist, I will hold up a mirror for you to see yourself, helping you to increase your capacity to give and receive love - to yourself and others. A meaningful, authentic client-therapist relationship is of utmost importance to me, and I strive to create safe and welcoming spaces for all by fostering an environment of empathy, openness and honesty.

To me, the therapeutic relationship is what's at the heart of a meaningful experience in therapy-- a relationship where clients feel equally supported and respected whether they're talking about a proud achievement, a deep regret, or a fleeting moment. I think every person can relate to hiding parts of ourselves, our thoughts, and our lives out of a fear of being judged.

I work with individuals and relationship partners of all kinds. My clinical interests include gender and sexual identity exploration, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma, transition-age young adulthood, and body acceptance. I consider myself kink-knowledgable and sex positive. When working with clients, I welcome consideration of the ways societal and cultural influences play out in our day to day lives.

I enjoy working with other Queer individuals, as well as allies, and have a focus on those who are wanting to explore their relationship with sex. This could be a look at intimacy, sexual function and behavioral issues as well as trauma and shame. I also work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD and trauma backgrounds. Overall, my intention is to help people achieve a better understanding of their values and be able to accept and take control of their current situation.

I am a South Asian queer therapist who is focused on creating an authentic space for you to heal and grow.  As a second-generation immigrant, I understand the stigma and trepidation that comes with getting mental healthcare. I strive to create a space where you can be seen and heard without judgment. We will work together to identify challenges related to trauma, cultural background, depression, anxiety, and lack of fulfillment in life.

(he/him)

I work with individuals, couples, and relationships of all kinds (straight and LGBTQ+). I consider societal and cultural influences while helping clients to explore their relationship/intimacy issues, sexuality, identity, struggles with depression, anxiety, trauma, and other mental health concerns. I take a sex positive approach and am attuned to the needs of poly, non-monogamous, open, kink, and BDSM clients.

My practice with teens and adults often uses the tenets of geek therapy to employ my client’s hobbies and interests as safe context for their uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. My approach is client-centered, solution-focused, and feminist in its critical examination of our constructed lives and relationships. To find reasonable solutions to our problems, I find it important to contextualize our struggles within the oppressive weight of our cultural climate. I enjoy working with fellow LGBTQIA+ people and couples to celebrate our identities whether it be our queer sexuality, gender-queerness, ethnic identity, mental diagnoses, or neurodivergence.

Curiosity leads my work. With my clients, I seek to co-create a space to explore their joys and struggles. My clinical interests include sexuality and gender identity development, self-worth expansion, mending relationships with others and with ourselves, understanding anxiety, depression, and personal values. Serving both teens and adults, I come from a person-centered, strength-based and existential framework. I practice queer, kink, and poly affirming counseling.
