A Letter From
Our Owner
Welcome to Polaris Behavioral Services and congratulations on taking the first step towards living a more authentic, fulfilling, and exciting life as you embark on a road towards self-discovery! I am honored to be a part of your journey. As a professional counselor, I believe the therapeutic relationship should be cemented on mutual trust and the confidence that you are in good and capable hands. This can only be achieved if you are armed with the knowledge of who your guide is and what they stand for. It is my hope that these lines will empower you to make that decision by getting to know me a bit better.
I was born in Mexico City, and I was raised in a fully bicultural environment; this has allowed me to obtain a culturally competent approach to counseling by deeply understanding the complexities of being an immigrant, a person of color, and a fierce advocate for disenfranchised populations. Having traveled extensively throughout my formative years, as well as living in a handful of countries, I offer a broad and worldly perspective that is designed to challenge the status quo and help you contemplate a bigger panorama for your life. My professional career spans well over a decade, working in the field of psychology in a variety of capacities: from being a consultant for organizational psychology in a Fortune 500 firm, to battling in the trenches of public mental health with marginalized groups; from leading learning initiatives for high-powered executives, to guiding everyday individuals to overcome depression, anxiety, addiction, grief, and trauma in their lives. I also have a deep understanding and vast experience working with alternative lifestyles and their unique challenges. As such, I specialize in working with clients from all walks of life, including the LGBTQIA+, Kink, Ethical-non-monogamy, nonreligious, and neurodivergent communities in a nonjudgmental, accepting, compassionate, and empowering space.
My counseling approach can be best described as collaborative yet sufficiently challenging. I believe you have the capability to enact all the changes you wish to see in your life. Utilizing a wide variety of interventions, techniques, and theoretical frameworks, you can rest assured that YOUR counseling sessions will be designed to fit YOU; with your goals in mind and in a way that both challenges and pushes you forward. You are the protagonist of your story! You are the captain of your own ship! My role as your counselor, is to help navigate and provide guidance towards your destination.
Having experienced the difficulties of mental health, not only as a counselor, but as a patient myself, I can understand the challenges my clients experience, mostly because I have walked through several of them in my personal life. My journey led me to understand that living more authentically is the key to truly achieving our own potential and finding joy in our human experience in a completely unique way!
My challenge to you today is:
“Who will you become once you start to live authentically?”
Let’s find out together!
