Hello! I am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC), and I am committed to helping you feel supported and understood from day one through your life's challenges with compassion and care. My training and clinical experience have equipped me to work with people facing anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and life transitions. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel respected and heard. My goal is to help you build insight, resilience, and practical tools for lasting emotional well-being.

Thanks for visiting my page. I’m Esteban, and I bring over 30 years of experience in the human services field and more than a decade as a licensed therapist. I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, bipolar disorder, panic disorders, grief and loss, relationship struggles, identity questions, and stress management. I also support clients exploring men’s issues and LGBTQIA+ experiences, always with an open, affirming, and respectful perspective.

At the heart of my work is a simple goal: helping people reach their highest potential in life. Many of the people I work with want to better understand their past experiences, make sense of their emotions, and begin making meaningful changes. My style is holistic, open-minded, and affirming, and I believe everyone deserves a space where they feel respected and supported.

My main goal when working with clients is to create a safe space to express themselves. I specialize in working with people who have PTSD, Anxiety, and Depression. I also use a DBT approach with many clients. I work primarily within the LGBTQ population and I am also trained in Gottman Couples Therapy.
