Hello, my name is Piero and I’m a Peruvian-born, pizza-loving, social worker and I’d love to help you reach your goals. I won’t pretend I know exactly what you need, because I don’t. You are the expert on yourself, and my job is to get to know you and collaborate with you on what you feel you need in your life right now. It would be an honor to walk alongside you as long as you need me to.
I have 6 years of experience working with people from many different backgrounds, on all kinds of struggles, of all ages from childhood to end-of-life, as individuals, couples, families, and groups. More on my experience and specialties are noted below. I also speak English, Spanish, and Spanglish fluently.
Whether you’re reading this because someone in your life has told you you need therapy, you’re looking for a therapist you feel you can connect with, or whether I would be your first or tenth therapist, I would be honored to join you as you try to find some peace in your life.
