Hi, I'm Felipe, a board-certified counselor and psychotherapist specializing in psychodynamic therapy for individuals and couples.

I help individuals who feel stuck, whether from emotional distress, overwhelming anxiety and persistent worry, or relational patterns that impede meaningful connections. I also work with couples who want to repair prior injury to their relationship, navigate conflict and address issues of disconnection.

Services

  • Individual Psychotherapy

    A place to explore mental life, behaviors, and relationships that contribute to difficulties and discover more effective and meaningful ways of living.

  • Couples Therapy

    A space where partners can slow things down, address conflict, repair disconnection, and better understand each other's needs.

Common Reasons People Seek My Help

  • Intense or confusing emotions

    Overwhelming feelings that are difficult to make sense of and, at times, may seem disproportionate and get in the way of daily life.

  • Anxiety & excessive worry

    Thoughts that won't settle, constant anticipation of problems, or difficulty relaxing even when things appear to be going well.

  • Couples counseling & relationship concerns

    Conflicts that repeat without resolution, emotional distance that has built gradually, or a sense that the relationship has drifted from what it once was.

  • Trauma & its lasting effects

    Past experiences that continue to show up as anxiety, emotional reactivity, numbness, or difficulty trusting which keep you from fully engaging with and enjoying your life.

  • Repetitive or intrusive thinking

    Remaining stuck in cycles of unwanted thoughts, replaying conversations, decisions, or past events in ways that make it difficult to stay mentally present and engaged with daily life.

  • Loss & grief

    The pain of losing someone or something significant that lingers longer than expected, or surfaces in ways that feel confusing and difficult to cope with.
