(He/Him/His)
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT)
I like to help clients identify their successes, interests & talents, and aspects of their lives that are working well as way to include these in their pr
I use a strengths-based, collaborative approach with clients, believing in their potential for healing, growth, and change. I explore life experiences and cultural influences to identify strengths and build awareness of how these factors contribute to challenges in self-view, relationships, and the world. I help clients recognize their successes, interests, and talents to include in their process for change. I create an environment of compassion, curiosity, and acceptance so clients feel at ease addressing their experiences, concerns, hopes, and goals. I support clients in practicing new behaviors and strategies between sessions to reinforce our discussions and boost their self-confidence. I have experience with issues like anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, enculturation, and stress management. I work with diverse racial and cultural backgrounds, including those feeling otherness and discrimination related to marginalized populations. I am a therapist at Octave, a behavioral health practice creating a new standard for high-quality, accessible mental health care.
