About Jorge
Denver Voyage
I was Featured on in their "Inspiring conversations" series. Read the Full article:
My life has been a series of deliberate decisions made in pursuit of one goal: to become the best version of myself. For both Issa and Aristotle, one truth stands out: the journey is what matters most.
Aristotle argued that eudaimonia is the ultimate human aim, and that achieving it requires action—it is something we do, not something we possess. Importantly, he believed there is no single prescription for eudaimonia; each
individual must determine what kind of life, and which consistent activities, constitute flourishing for them.
The haiku conveys a similar idea. It advises us to choose the greatest goal we can imagine—symbolized by Mount Fuji, Japan’s highest peak—and pursue it in our own way symbolized by the first “slowly.” The second “slowly” is a reminder to embrace the journey, not rush through it. The journey plays two roles, it reveals whether we are worthy of the goal and it also shapes us into people worthy of it.
Oh snail
climb mount fuji
but slowly, slowly
-Kobayashi Issa
Take, for instance, the psychologist. He chooses to become one—a goal rooted in purpose. But he must undergo academic and personal hardships along the way. He is tested, again and again, to determine whether he is worthy of that title. Yet it is not just the final credential that defines him—it is the becoming, the daily struggle, and the growth it demands.
The journey you choose will be shaped by who you are and who you wish to become. The obstacles you face are not just challenges—they are chances to prove, to yourself and others, that you are the kind of person worthy of the goal you pursue.

A MESSAGE FROM JORGE
“Change doesn’t happen all at once. But it doesn’t have to take forever, either.”
​
As a therapist in private practice, my approach is practical, focused, and rooted in what research shows works. Decades of studies have demonstrated that most clients begin to feel significantly better within 12 to 15 sessions of therapy. This aligns with our understanding of neuroplasticity—the brain’s remarkable ability to rewire itself through focused emotional work.
​
“Therapy is learning—and learning changes the brain.”
— Matthew Lieberman, PhD
​
You don’t need a lifetime of therapy.
You need a season of showing up, honestly and consistently, for yourself.

With intention, focus, and a little guidance, your brain and body can start shifting—physiologically, emotionally, behaviorally. Neuroscience shows us that key changes in your emotional brain—your amygdala, insula, and prefrontal cortex—can begin happening in as little as 8–12 weeks. That’s the same timeframe most clients begin feeling noticeably better.
