Personalized Counseling for Lasting, Impactful Growth

Licensed Therapy and Certified Life Coaching

"Friendly, Approachable, Effective"

Mental health with you in mind.

Wellness and healing don’t have to feel clinical. I take a warm, effective, collaborative approach to mental health care—providing therapy and coaching free of judgement but filled with growth. My approach blends grounded psychological principles with practical tools to carve a path away from depression, anxiety, grief and/or becoming the best version of yourself.

About Rodrigo
My background & focus

I have been practicing as a licensed, board-certified therapist in San Diego since 2015. To me, and most of my patients, therapy is a chance to renew and empower ourselves—an opportunity for personal growth that benefits not just ourselves but everyone we interact with.

I use deeply researched, evidence-based methodologies, personalized to address your specific needs and outcome goals.

I mainly work with adults and older adult clients that might be experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and grief. I also have experience working with mood disorders and substance use disorders.

I specialize in working with adults and older adult clients who may be experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and grief. I also work with those managing life transitions.

Virtual Therapy

One of the greatest benefits of online talk therapy is that you can prioritize your mental health around busy schedules, comfort levels, and even different time zones. Virtual therapy online can be done via video or phone.

Certified Life Coaching

Life coaching focuses on activating your potential to overcome “stuckness” and achieve fulfilling outcomes in your life, relationships, and/or career. Coaching is perfect for those seeking accountability, motivation, or mindset shifts at any stage in life. It’s not a mental health service but can be combined with talk therapy for a comprehensive mental wellness plan.
