Why Now?

Life is a series of peaks and valleys, and the low points can feel really overwhelming. It's in those moments that we most need support, but that's also when we're most prone to isolating and bottling up.

Perhaps this is you:

  • You argue with your partner all the time and feel like the conversations go nowhere.

  • You ruminate and worry about the smallest of things.

  • Your job requires long hours and your work-life balance needs help.

  • You came to the US in search of a better life, but so far it’s hasn’t been what you expected.

  • You’re feeling unmotivated and don’t know how to get back on track.

Relationship issues, low self-esteem, anxiety, and burnout can all be urgent matters, yet we often hesitate admitting we need assistance. Whether you're seeking therapy in Oakland or elsewhere in California, I’m here to help.

Why Therapy?

Few things are as powerful as connecting with someone in times of need, and many clients report feeling relief by the end of their first session. My name is Andrés and, as a therapist in Oakland, I specialize in Telehealth therapy throughout California. I help couples and individuals by providing a safe and supportive space for them to work through personal challenges. The goal isn't to eliminate hardship, but rather to transform it into growth.

My style is gentle, compassionate, and non-judgmental. I utilize my own blend of evidence-based techniques to help you heal old wounds and move through life with more grace. My goal is to help you find the best version of yourself, and the first step is simply reaching out for support. Start now and embark on a journey of personal growth and healing with a dedicated California therapy professional.
