Therapists in California

Hi! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in California. I received my master's degree in Marriage in Family Therapy from USC (University of Southern California). I help adults navigate conflicts that may arise from cultural differences, such as generational gaps, cultural identity, family/relationship issues, and cultural/societal pressures by helping you utilize your values and goals to reconcile dilemmas and maintaining healthy relationships with yourself and others. I also help adults experiencing depression and anxiety by helping you challenge unhelpful thoughts, beliefs, behaviors as well as develop and utilize tools to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress that impact your day to day life.

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who helps clients navigate anxiety, depression, substance use, addiction, and life's challenges with compassion and practical support. I believe therapy should be a collaborative, judgment-free space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. Together, we'll build the skills and confidence to create meaningful, lasting change while working toward the goals that matter most to you.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist working in California for over 25 years as a counselor. I have worked with many individuals, couples, teens and children. My goals is to provide compassionate quality care and assist individuals in reaching their highest potential. My approach is integrative using many modalities providing a safe, nurturing and caring environment. I also teach parenting classes and parenting groups. My speciality is working with Clients who have experienced a traumatic event or early childhood abuse using EMDR as an effective Therapuetic process. My intention is to support my clients to gain greater insights and break free from self-defeating thoughts and behaviors and create lasting change and healing.

Hello! I’m glad you’re here. Reaching out for support can take courage, and my hope is to offer a space where you feel seen, understood, and empowered to move toward the life you want. Since starting my clinical work, I’ve supported folks in making meaningful life changes, exploring their identities, and building healthier relationships—with themselves and others. At times, these changes have involved the courageous work of shifting long‑standing patterns — including ones that began generations before us. It's my honor to have worked with individuals across a wide range of ages, races, genders, sexualities, backgrounds, and abilities. I'm driven to meet each person with respect and a genuine desire to understand their life as they see it. I’m a born‑and‑raised Californian with both professional training and lived experience in many of the challenges that bring people to therapy. I am a queer identified, cisgender, white male who's deeply proud of the LGBTQ+ community I'm part of. I believe that within our diverse range of identities, abilities, and ways of life lays creativity, resilience, and unique contributions to our larger world. Outside of my clinical work, I enjoy staying physically active and creative. Listening to music, going to concerts, and personally performing help me to recharge and find joy. I look forward to meeting you and discussing how I can best support your growth and wellbeing.

I am an advocate for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, a passionate partner in your healing process. As a clinician, I believe strongly in meeting you where you are. Even if it is a place you have never opened the doors for another. I gained my education at New York University and have experience working in many major diverse communities across the United States. This practice experience and armed me with the humility to connect with all cultures, intersections, and identities.

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.

Welcome! I’m a licensed clinical psychologist in California. I specialize in working with adults (ages 18-64) who are experiencing depression, anxiety, panic attacks, social or family challenges, and difficulties adjusting to life changes.

I received my BA from the University of Michigan and my MA and PhD in Clinical Psychology from the George Washington University in DC, prior to completing full-time clinical training and residency in San Francisco.

To me, therapy is most meaningful when it begins with curiosity rather than judgment. We'll start where you are, taking time to understand your experiences, relationships, and the patterns that seem to repeat themselves. Along the way, we'll pay attention to what your mind and body may be communicating and use our work together as a space for insight, healing, and meaningful change. My goal is to help you better understand yourself so you can move through life with greater clarity, self-compassion, and confidence.

My goal is to help and empower others who are struggling to heal so that they can have a better future and not continue to live in the pain of the past. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, watching a movie/show, or reading a book.

Have you ever felt like you were busy doing all the things you thought would bring you a happy life, yet felt alone and disconnected from yourself and others? These feelings are often when people turn to alcohol, drugs, food, shopping or relationships to try to create those feelings of happiness, contentment and joy. It can work for a short time however the key to moving forward is to understand the reasons we seek out these distractions.

In 2019, I graduated from the PAU-Stanford PsyD Consortium, where I trained at the Stanford School of Medicine's psychiatry department and Lucile Packard Children's Hospital's program at a local high school. I attended internship (our version of residency, more or less) at the UC Davis Medical Center, where I received world-class training in the treatment of childhood trauma and early psychosis, both separately and together.
