Hi, my name is Adrian (He/Him/Él).
I am a Licensed Graduate Marriage and Family Therapist in Maryland. I graduated with my masters' degree from the Couples and Family Therapy Program at The University of Maryland. I am a DC native and have now been living in Maryland for about 10 years. The DMV is my home and the communities.
I am passionate about uplifting. My work with clients is focused on identity development, gender affirming services and the impacts of trauma. I work with couples and individuals with a specific focus on sexual and gender minorities, intersectional identities, and immigrant populations. From my perspective,everyone deserves a tailored safe space to experience openness with themselves and in relationship around exploring their identities and being able to feel seen while doing so.
My therapeutic approach is strengths based, and trauma informed. Our therapy space will prioritize safety, comfort, deep empathy, humanness and humor. I am here to collaborate on creating a free-thinking space for all parts of you while providing a gentle push to continue your growth.
I utilize visuals, creativity, and collaboration in the work that feels tailored to you andyour relationships.I look forward to sharing space in your journey and being a beam of light intowhat may feel at times like a tunnel of darkness.
