About Me
"Lo que pasa en la casa se queda en la casa" (What happens at home stays at home) is something many of us grew up hearing, but it's time to let go of that mindset. Hi there! I'm Javier, a proud Latino and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) passionate about guiding you through life's ups and downs. With years of experience, I've worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds, offering support and guidance tailored to your unique journey. My approach is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth. I believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard and understood. As a male therapist, I aim to represent the importance of mental health, challenging the stigma that often surrounds seeking support. Together, we'll work on strategies to manage stress, overcome obstacles, and build a fulfilling life. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family, exploring new foods, and connecting with my community. I'm here to support you every step of the way. Let's start this journey together!
