Hi. I’m Felipe, a board certified Counselor and Psychotherapist.
My work centers on helping individuals reduce emotional and mental suffering, and find clarity and confidence as they navigate life’s challenges. I invite clients to share openly without censoring thoughts, creating space to delve into emotions, struggles, experiences, and whatever comes to mind.
Our ability to approach difficult conversations with curiosity and courage will allow for thoughtful exploration that can lead to more fulfilling ways of living.

About Me
-
I have a Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and am a board-licensed Professional Counselor in NJ. I maintain a private practice in downtown Jersey City and work in the psychiatric emergency department at Jersey City Medical Center, providing acute crisis intervention. I have also worked in addiction treatment and school counseling.
My approach is rooted in psychoanalytic principles, and I draw on various modalities in a nuanced and flexible way to meet each client’s needs. What I’ve found most helpful in my work is not any single technique, but the collaborative nature of the relationship we build. This allows us to approach difficult conversations with curiosity and courage to explore more fulfilling ways of living.
