LMFT, 6 years of experience
Frequently rebooked
Hello! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California, with six years of experience after graduating from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology. My focus is on helping adults navigate career stress, transitions, marital issues, and burnout to achieve their fullest potential. Additionally, I specialize in supporting adults transitioning back to their communities after military service and deployments, empowering them to reintegrate positively into civilian life.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
As a provider, my greatest strengths lie in my extensive experience as a therapist for six years, during which I've honed my skills and gained invaluable insights. Additionally, my role as a clinical director has equipped me with leadership abilities and a deep understanding of organizational dynamics. My diverse background, including military service, has instilled in me empathy, resilience, and a strong sense of connectedness, enabling me to effectively connect with and support clients from various backgrounds.
I am best positioned to serve adults in the initial stages of seeking positive life changes, particularly those struggling with feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and anxious in areas such as career, transitions, or relationships. Many of my clients may have experienced trauma, hindering their ability to connect with others, and I am dedicated to helping them rediscover meaningful connections and navigate their journey towards growth and healing. My passion lies in supporting individuals as they equip themselves with the necessary tools to enact lasting positive transformations in their lives.
I believe in implementing a recovery centered approach to treatment, to assist everyone to reach an optimum state of health. I have attained additional training and certifications to deliver Gottman therapy, Interpersonal Psychotherapy, Recovery Clinical Centered Systems treatment, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I use an eclectic approach to treatment, drawing from various modalities, to customize treatment for each individual served

Martin quickly communicated a clear understanding of my challenges, communicating them in such a way that I have a clearer understanding than I did before the session. He’s focused and had confidence-inspiring suggestions for how to approach therapy. I’m excited about the potential for growth.

Martin has been a refreshing therapist after seeing multiple therapists for years. We were able to make more progress in 3 weeks than in 3 years of couples therapy.
