I am licensed marriage and family therapist (MFT) originally from the central coast of California. I now live in the Greater Sacramento California Area and have experience in working with adolescents/teens and adults who struggle with various issues including depression or the intricacies of being part of the LGBT community. I have three years of experience in education supporting adolescents as a Therapist ages 11-15.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

I typically like to get to know each other, both through sharing of lived experiences as well as getting though the initial assessment. The initial session also provides us an opportunity to really understand whether we are a good fit to work together, it is my hope we get to know each other and see if we are a fit.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I have worked with with teens and adults for the last 4 years rally developing the ability to connect with and support them through their struggles.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

In my time as an MFT I have come to love working with teens, adults and fellow LGBT identified individuals.

He was very friendly, understanding, and accepting. He does a good job at communicating and making sure we are on the same page. I will definitely book another session with him.
