Hi! I’m Manny a former educator turned marriage and family therapist. My work was shaped by how social-emotional support helps young people thrive. As a trauma-informed therapist, I create an affirming space where clients feel seen and understood. I’m a first-gen Latino and LGBTQ+ therapist, and my lived experience shapes my collaborative, culturally responsive, and human-centered approach. Outside of the therapy space, I enjoy reading fantasy novels in the park, baking sweet treats, yoga, and game nights with friends.
