Therapy for Adults Building Calm, Confidence, and Connection
Ease your anxiety, quiet the inner critic, and create stronger relationships.
Welcome
I’m Rafael, a therapist for adults and couples. I specialize in helping men and first-generation adults find their ground. Many of my clients feel stuck, carrying the weight of anxiety, constant self-criticism, or the strain of relationship disconnection.
Some come to build calm and confidence alone. Others arrive as couples longing for connection. However you begin, we’ll focus on soothing the mind and body and building the stability you’ve been missing.
This is how the struggle often shows up:
Racing thoughts, tension, or poor sleep.
Feeling like you're never "enough" or struggling with self-doubt.
Caught in cycles of arguing, criticism, or silence with your partner.
What I Help With
I focus our work on the things that keep you stuck:
Anxiety: I work with you to move past racing thoughts, tension, and cycles of avoidance to create calm in your mind and body.
Self-Criticism & Self-Doubt: I help you soften the relentless inner critic to build genuine confidence and self-acceptance.
Relationship Disconnection: We break cycles of conflict or withdrawal together to build safe, strong connection and intimacy.
How We’ll Work Together
My approach is evidence-based, culturally sensitive, and trauma-informed. That means I use proven methods, adapt to your unique background and experiences, and always prioritize safety and trust in the room.
In our work together, you can expect to:
Learn practical ways to quiet self-criticism and ease anxiety in both mind and body
Build confidence that isn’t tied only to achievement or perfectionism
Strengthen openness, trust, and communication in your relationships
Reconnect with your values, your voice, and the people who matter most
Whether you’re here for yourself or with your partner, therapy offers a supportive space to slow down, understand what’s getting in the way, and begin creating lasting change.
