LMFT, 18 years of experience
“Everyone’s childhood plays itself out.” Our first understanding of ourselves comes from the first people we know. Psychologically known as our sense of Self or Agency, the other relationships we participate in tend to reflect those aspects of ourselves previously learned. I specialize in successfully treating the presenting symptoms of childhood trauma as well as those who suffer from often self-limiting thoughts regarding substance abuse, social and intrapersonal anxieties, clinical, situational and abandonment depression. I would also include the often self-sabotaging and socially unacceptable unresolved rage. Licensed in the states of California and Arizona as a Marriage & Family Therapist, I am privileged to work with a variety of highly intelligent and uniquely talented people, who, due to a lifetime of psychological, spiritual and philosophical pain are often the last to be aware of their authenticity as their true value.
In our first session together, you can expect that I will provide active and empathic listening. In order to establish and build rapport and trust, I will attempt to communicate and establish meaning (or interpret) what you discuss throughout the session. I may also provide psycho-education to you regarding the potential origin of your presenting problem.
Depending on the kind (or unkind) of education you experienced, truly knowing yourself may still be lost to you. Utilizing a professional yet still emotionally intimate relationship established between you and I, can provide real-world support to you as you do the internal work for yourself, w/yourself AND without feeling that you have to do it all by yourself. Alone.
As an LGBTQ and POC mental health specialist, my core values—equity, authenticity, cultural humility, and community empowerment—are central to every aspect of my practice. Those with childhood neglect, narcissistic parenting or co-dependent relationship histories have found strong connection with my intuitive, creative and down to earth personality and style. I believe mental health care must be trauma-informed and culturally responsive, especially for individuals who have historically been marginalized or pathologized by mainstream systems.
AEDP psychotherapy is an approach that seeks to alleviate patients’ psychological suffering by helping them process the overwhelming emotions associated with trauma in a way that facilitates corrective emotional and relational experiences that mobilize positive changes in our neuroplastic brains.
Using the relationship between therapist and client, we explore how your childhood experiences might impact your ability to form meaningful bonds as an adult.
Using the relationship established between you and I, I can provide feedback that can show you and support how it is for you to be in relationship with others.
Psychoeducation is a therapy intervention that involves the therapist providing their client with information about their diagnosis, symptoms, or the method of treatment used. It is more than simply sharing information with the client; psychoeducation refers to a structured and specific method of providing knowledge.

Tim is my very first therapist and we’ve had several breakthroughs throughout our sessions. He’s very knowledgeable and empowers you to get to the root cause of things and I’ve leaned a lot about myself because of our therapy session.

Tim is amazing! I immediately felt comfortable and seen by him. His relaxed, intelligent, thoughtful and humorous demeanor really created the type of safe space that I needed and after a few months of working with him, I’m seeing this greater understanding of myself and have been given tools to assist in managing my emotions and self-care. I’m truly grateful for his practice and ability to help bring clarity to the struggles in life. Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏🏽
