Meet Cesar

I specialize in working with adults, adolescents, and families navigating complex life challenges, including trauma and justice-involved experiences. My approach is trauma-informed, client-centered, and grounded in collaboration. I draw from modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI), tailoring sessions to your unique needs. I believe in building on your strengths and lived experiences to help you achieve your therapeutic goals in a safe and supportive space.
