Hi, I'm Bruno.

Building a strong and effective therapeutic alliance is more important than any modality or approach you will use in therapy. That’s why I aim to create a connection with my clients in an atmosphere of trust, genuineness, empathy, and unconditional positive regard to support clients as they learn to heal, embrace, and thrive.

My Background

I’ve always wanted to help people. When I was a kid growing up in Peru, I loved spending time in community service and missionary work. That’s when I first started to see just how heavy life can get for people — and how deeply they want to feel better.

Many years later, after moving to the U.S., I had a serious health scare. I couldn’t work, couldn’t care for myself, and couldn’t move forward the way I wanted. The physical healing was one thing — but the emotional impact was something I wasn’t prepared for.

That experience changed me. It deepened my empathy. It showed me what real frustration, fear, and uncertainty feel like — and it made me even more committed to helping others heal from their own painful chapters.

Recovering took time, effort, and patience. But more than anything, it helped me become the kind of therapist who doesn’t just understand trauma — but helps people actively move through it. Now, I work with clients facing life-altering changes, anxiety, deep grief, relationship strain, and childhood trauma. Some are dealing with something that changed their life in an instant. Others have been carrying pain for years and are tired of it dictating their present.

As a trauma-informed clinician, I draw from gentle, effective therapeutic methods when individualizing the treatment process to each client’s unique needs and goals.

Perseverance and determination are essential for facing obstacles and accomplishing goals. I aim to possess these qualities as a therapist, supporting and guiding my clients as they learn to do the same.

A Little More About Me

When I’m not working, I enjoy exploring the beautiful scenery; hiking with my dogs in the summers, and skiing the Rockies in the winters. Even though I don’t play as much as I would like, soccer has always been a big part of my life, and I make a point to watch leagues from around the world throughout the season. Life’s greatest gift has been my wife and my daughter, and I cherish every second we all spend together.
