I have over 12 years experience in providing services to children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, relationship issues, trauma, and other challenges. I have had the pleasure of working in various settings. For about seven years, I worked at a community mental health agency treating children, adolescents, adults, and families with a variety of needs especially those who have experienced trauma. I have found that each individual comes with their unique story and background. My first experience using telehealth was during the pandemic. With the increase of mental health needs, I discovered the importance of being able to provide services through the telehealth platform. It inspired me to continue to reach those clients who desire telehealth for various reasons. Life can be busy with schedules and finding time for therapy is not always easy. Telehealth can make therapy a little easier.

Joshua graduated from Holy Names University with a Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology & also received a Sport Performance Psychology certificate during his time in higher education.

On top of providing individual based therapy and sport performance services for clients, Joshua is a school mental health counselor serving high school students in Richmond, California. Joshua has always enjoyed pouring into youth & he truly loves what he does because he believes that each individual he comes in contact with has more potential than they see in themselves & he wants to help that individual step out of their comfort zone. Joshua also enjoys working as a school counselor because he believes that if we, as a society, don't pour into the next generation, we are doing society a disservice. Joshua has a diverse background in working with teenagers who struggle with topics such as anxiety, sport performance, boundaries, etc. He also has experience working with young adults who either are struggling with similar topics, as well as those who are struggling with life transitions, work life balance, burnout and more. He enjoys working with both youth and adults because he finds fulfillment in supporting others & seeing growth in others. The population Joshua serves ranges from BIPOC (Black, Indigenous & people of color), teen and adult athletes, non-athletes or former athletes, disenfranchised communities and those who are willing to take a leap of faith by choosing to put themselves first. Joshua looks forward to working with you as you get ready for this journey!

Hi! I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master's in Counseling Psychology with a specialty in somatic, or body-oriented, psychology. I also have a Master's in Creative Writing, and lived as a lay monk in a Zen monastery in Japan. I help motivated young and middle-aged adults who tend to live "in their heads" become more composed, resilient, and effective in living according to their values. This is a problem common to folks with relationship challenges, PTSD, dissociation, anxiety, and mood disorders.

Hey there, I'm a Millenial/Gen-Z Fil-Am Licensed Clinical Social Worker residing in Ventura County. I have worked with young adults to seniors who have gone through significant life struggles or might have a curiosity toward their reactions and perspectives in life. I have worked with clients to alleviate symptoms of overwhelm, anxiety, depression, psychosis, sleep issues, and hopelessness. I believe that the power of therapy is found in being able to be seen and because of this, I strive to authentically listen to those I work with. While I acknowledge that evidence-based practices are important, I genuinely believe the root power of therapy is within the connection between therapist and client. My practice is driven by “meeting the client where they are at.” I received my Master of Social Work degree at California State University San Marcos, where I was a clinical intern for an alternative middle/high school and an intensive outpatient program with Sharp Hospital. I earned my Bachelor of Social Welfare degree from University of California Berkeley. While at Berkeley, I interned for a grassroots agency that served persons experiencing homelessness in the Tenderloin.

I hold an extensive background with individuals that include struggles with addiction, phobias, obsessive/compulsive behaviors, trauma-related disorders, including trauma-related dissociation, suicidal ideation, self-esteem, and women's issues and I also use a variety of approaches with EMDR being at the forefront. In addition to this, I might use EMDR to treat these issues when clinically appropriate. I am also EMDR certified.
