About

The people who find me have usually been managing in secret: covering for the sleepless, wildly productive weeks, apologizing for the crash that follows, quietly wondering how long the act can hold. Manic episodes can look like brilliance from the outside while everything underneath comes apart. The flat, joyless stretches that follow are often taken less seriously, and they can cost just as much. We work with DBT because it offers real skills for both extremes. Everything is anchored to a clear plan that you help write and we adjust as life moves. I want the men reading this to know that needing help is not a character flaw. Before going solo I practiced in a group founded by a Latina therapist whose calm under pressure still shapes how I work. Sessions with me feel steady and unhurried, even when the subject matter is not. You will always know what we are working on and why. When you are ready to stop managing alone, send me a message.
