Meet Jose

I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) therapist who uses an integrative approach tailored to your unique needs. I draw from Attachment-Based, Compassion-Focused, Strengths-Based, Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavior, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused, Acceptance and Commitment, and Trauma-Focused therapies. I practice with compassion and understanding, creating a nonjudgmental, supportive environment where you can feel at ease. My hope is that we share a few smiles along the way.
