Hi. I’m Felipe, a board certified Counselor and Psychotherapist.
People come to therapy for many reasons. Some want to make sense of difficult emotions, while others are working through loss, relationship challenges, or a general sense that life is not as it should be. When therapy is done in a way that allows for genuine exploration of one's inner world and emotional depth, it can help uncover the patterns that keep a person stuck and create the conditions for lasting, desired change.
My work centers on helping individuals find clarity and confidence as they navigate life’s complexities to create a path toward greater peace and fulfillment.
If you’d like to learn more or see if working together might be right for you, I invite you to reach out by ✉️, 📞, or 💬.
“The more we are strangers to ourselves, the more random, accidental, and fragmented our experience may seem.”

About Me
-
I help individuals who grapple with a range of mental health concerns and life challenges, including anxiety disorders, mood disorders, trauma-related issues, personality disorders, and adjustment difficulties.
My approach is rooted in psychoanalytic principles, and I draw on various modalities to meet each client’s unique needs. However, what I’ve found most helpful in my work is not any particular “brand” of therapy or single technique, but the collaborative nature of the relationship we build. With curiosity, courage, and a willingness to navigate discomfort and uncertainty, therapy can lay the groundwork for meaningful change. It can help individuals live in ways that feel authentic, purposeful, and fulfilling.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, reading, and practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Out-of-Network Benefits
-
Did you know? Many people overlook the value of their insurance plan’s out-of-network (OON) benefits and assume that working with an OON provider means paying full price out of pocket.
The good news is that you can use your OON benefits to get substantial reimbursements. Often, my clients receive 50-70% of my session fee back from their insurer once their deductible has been met.
As an OON provider, you'll pay my full fee upfront at each session. But unlike most other providers, I handle submitting your claims directly to your insurance provider on your behalf to help you avoid the paperwork headache. I can also verify your benefits in just a couple of minutes to give you a clear picture right away.
