Biography

I was born in Cuba, and left a long time ago searching for freedom and purpose. I found both living in America, and dedicating my life to serving others as a therapist. I enjoy helping individuals and couples. I also have a passion for helping people deal with past trauma. I am  trained in EMDR and Brainspotting. These two approaches combine to release people from their past hurts, as well as the symptoms like anxiety, depression, addiction, and so much more. I believe each person I work with has already shown courage by making the decision to face their issues, and I enjoy helping them become stronger throughout their journey.

Whether you’re married, single, divorced, or anywhere in between life has its challenges. Having a family of my own, and working several years helping others has given me the ability to understand many perspectives, and points of view. Whether you have a specific concern like anxiety, relationship issues, parenting, or something else, I am happy to help. If you aren’t sure whether your unique situation is something I can help with, just ask. I do offer a complimentary phone consultation to see if we are a good fit.

We relocated our family to the Orlando area in 2016, and enjoy all that Central Florida has to offer. My free time is often spent woodworking, and creating things with my hands. I am LGBT friendly, and open to working with people from all backgrounds. I am fluent in English and Spanish.

Nací en Cuba, y dejé mi país hace algún tiempo ya, buscando libertad y el propósito de mi vida. Encontré ambas cosas viviendo en Estados Unidos, dedicando mi vida a servir a otros como terapeuta. Disfruto ayudando a individuos y también a parejas. Mi pasión es trabajar con sobrevivientes de trauma. Estoy entrenada en EMDR y Brainspotting. Estos dos tipos de terapia buscan ayudar a las personas a superar las heridas del pasado, y también a superar síntomas de ansiedad, depresión, adicciones y algunos más. Yo creo que cada persona con la que trabajo, demuestra el coraje de querer enfrentar sus problemas, y mi objetivo es ayudarles a ser más fuertes y felices.

Si estás casado, soltero, divorciado, para todos, la vida tiene sus retos. Tener mi propia familia, y mi experiencia ayudando a otras personas es esencial para entender y apreciar muchas perspectivas y puntos de vista diferentes. Si no está seguro de cómo enfrentar sus retos, o de si puedo ser de ayuda, ofrezco una consulta telefónica complementaria para ayudarnos a decidir si podemos trabajar bien juntos.

En mi tiempo libre me gusta trabajar con madera y crear con mis manos, viajar, y disfrutar tiempo con mi familia. Soy aliada de la comunidad LGBT, y abierta a trabajar con personas de todos los orígenes y culturas. Hablo inglés y español.

    icon David M.

    Bryan is an expert who understands how to break down and get to the root of an issue, and his strategies and approach were immensely helpful for my family. Above all, he truly cares about his patients and helps them. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

    icon Lauren C.

    I highly recommend Bryan for individual and couples therapy. He always made me feel comfortable and I felt like I could be myself which is super important when going to counseling.

    icon Alan B.

    In my time in Florida, I had the opportunity to work alongside Bryan in helping families and I believe him to be of high integrity and care with his patients. He demonstrates great knowledge of what each client needs and doesn’t just care about the psychology behind the issues the clients face, but deeply cares about the patients. Long-term health is always the goal Bryan seeks to attain for each client. There are few counselors who care about their patients the way Bryan does. I would, and have, recommend him to any family or individual struggling with the issues life brings.

    icon Tessa L.

    I met with Bryan for about 8 months. I began meeting with him individually (for about 5 months) and for the final 3 months, my partner and I went together. We cannot be any more emphatic when we say that our experience with Bryan was wonderful.

    Bryan demonstrates a superb level of care and commitment to his clients. He fosters an environment of openness, honesty, and acceptance that allows clients to confront their flaws and limitations in order to heal and make changes for the better. It is clear that Bryan is in this profession for all the right reasons and is gifted as a counselor. I would strongly recommend him to anyone.

    Thank you Bryan!

    icon Brett L.

    To put it simply Bryan is a superstar! Yes, he is an excellent therapist…I have several family members and friends who have been referred to him, and he is absolutely wonderful. He has and uses a Christian foundation with his counseling and has a calm, pleasant demeanor that puts his patients at ease. He is insightful with his approach to therapy and I would recommend him to any colleague, friend, or patient without reservation.

    icon Ashley M.

    I started working with Bryan 7 months prior to writing this review. I went alone in hopes that he could help with some relationship issues I was unable to solve on my own. Bryan has been nothing short of a miracle in my life. My story is still being written, but I look forward to my appointments with him. He is calm, kind-hearted, and genuinely wants me to succeed. He looks at every angle and gives guidance/suggestions that only betters my situation. Bryan is extremely intelligent and knows how to help people. Better than that he enjoys helping people. I will continue to refer him to anyone and everyone. True companionate people are not just hard to find but he does with the intent of actually building his patients up. I can not say enough great things about him, and strongly recommend him to anyone in need.

    icon Maria F.

    My husband and I met with Bryan for about 5 months. The time and money we spent were without a doubt, one of the very best investments we have made for our marriage. The care and commitment with which Bryan treats his clients are outstanding. He patiently, kindly, and honestly helps clients understand situations or wounds with clarity to which he offers sound and concrete steps towards healing. Bryan helped my husband and I to grow as individuals as well as together as a couple, and our marriage was strengthened tremendously.

    After our marriage counseling concluded, I continued to meet with Bryan individually for about 3 months. Bryan helped me to understand my need for a better relationship with God which sent me on a journey that completely changed my life. I continue to live with the same struggles (from an incurable medical issue) yet I no longer suffer from the debilitating depression it used to cause me. I will never be able to adequately thank Bryan for the gift his counseling gave me and my marriage.

    I would highly recommend Bryan to anyone.

    Thank you, Bryan!
