Hello, and thank you for taking the time out to visit my website. I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist working out of my private practice in Concord, Ca. I received my bachelor's degree in social work from San Jose State University and a master's degree in counseling psychology, MFT from National University in California. I'm an adventurous, caring, ambitious, traveler, father, husband, and survivor. I work with individuals, couples, adults, families, and teens who present with a variety of life challenges and from diverse backgrounds. My focus includes severe mental illness, depression, anxiety, personality disorders, relationship challenges, grief & loss, and addiction, and provide support and guidance to those bearing the significant burden of caring for family members of individuals suffering from self-destructive behaviors. I offer a warm straightforward approach and frequently incorporate coaching techniques to help you address the various goals of your life. My style is interactive, eclectic, explorative, and solution-focused.
My background in various disciplines makes for a deep and engaging treatment experience that goes beyond intellectual insight. I help my clients reconnect with their inherent strengths & resilience, navigate through life obstacles, conquer their fears and inadequacies, alter self-defeating patterns, and successfully reach their goals of peace, clarity, and wellness. Many people begin treatment with insight but feel certain constraints life has placed on them make change impossible. Therapy facilitates reevaluating possibilities and finding one's way out of the binds that seem insoluble.
If you are seeking therapy, you've most likely identified patterns in your life that you'd like to change, feel overwhelmed by what seems too large of a mountain to scale, or attempted to do the work alone, but find it comforting to secure a knowledgeable supportive passenger in your journey to reach the destination of growth and healing. The path to this recognition is unique to each person, as is the process of therapy itself. If I am someone you feel can accompany you on your journey to healing, I would love to take a seat as a passenger, helping you navigate, steer clear of deterrents, and maintain focus on your self-identified destination. I look forward to meeting you!
My focus is to help individuals, couples, & families heal, energize, and become aware of their inherent strengths. I achieve this by providing a neutral safe space, actively listening to your concerns, and providing effective and meaningful treatment and guidance.
I promise to be there for you every step of your journey. My goal is to help you grow from your struggles, heal from your pain, and move forward to where you want to be in your life
