Therapy for intimacy, sexuality, and kink
You don’t have to navigate intimacy or sexuality alone. I work with individuals and couples navigating desire, connection, and emotional complexity—without judgment or the need to filter who you are. This includes experiences that don’t fit neatly into conventional frameworks.
Kink-aware. LGBTQ+ affirming. Nontraditional relationships are welcome.

Hi, I’m Pablo.
I’m a queer, BIPOC psychotherapist working at the intersection of intimacy, sexuality, and relationships. I work with individuals and couples across California and Texas who want to understand themselves more clearly—how they connect, what they want, and what gets in the way.
Therapy isn’t neutral, and it isn’t one-size-fits-all. The relationship matters. You should feel able to speak freely, without having to edit or translate who you are. That’s why I offer a brief consultation: a chance to see if this feels like the right fit—for both of us.
Who This Is For
You don’t need to have it all figured out. Most people come in feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure why the same things keep happening in their relationships or their life. These are some of the places I tend to meet people.

Individuals
You might feel stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in patterns that are difficult to see clearly. Our work focuses on making those patterns visible—and creating space for something different.
This can include anxiety, identity, life transitions, or a sense that something isn’t working, even if you can’t fully name it yet.

Couples
Relationships rarely fall apart all at once. More often, they drift—into distance, miscommunication, or patterns that become hard to change.
In couples therapy, we look closely at what’s happening underneath the conflict, and how to relate to each other in a way that feels more honest and connected.

Sex, Intimacy & Kink
Desire, intimacy, and sexuality are often where people feel most exposed—and least able to speak honestly. This is a place to explore those experiences without judgment, including kink and nontraditional dynamics.
This can include disconnection, shame, mismatched desire, or wanting something that feels more honest, more alive.
Start with a Conversation
Starting therapy doesn’t have to feel like a big decision.
A consultation is simply a chance to talk, ask questions, and see if this feels like the right fit.
No pressure. Just a place to start.
What This Work Feels Like
Therapy asks a lot—honesty, vulnerability, a willingness to look at parts of yourself you may have avoided. I don’t take that lightly.
Over time, certain patterns tend to emerge in how people experience this work around relationships, intimacy, and sex therapy.
Clarity where things once felt chaotic
What once felt overwhelming or undefined—especially in relationships, polyamory, or nontraditional dynamics—begins to take shape. Not through imposed structure, but through a clearer understanding of what you actually want and how to communicate it.
Less performance, more honesty
There’s no pressure to present a “better” version of yourself. The work becomes less about fixing and more about understanding patterns in your relationships, communication, and sense of self.
Conversations that feel more natural
Topics that once felt awkward, clinical, or off-limits—sex, desire, kink, and intimacy—become easier to talk about. Not forced, not extracted. Just part of the conversation.
A stronger sense of direction
Not in the sense of having everything figured out—but in feeling more grounded in how you move through your relationships, intimacy, and emotional life.
