More about Brian
- 25 years' experience

- LMFT
I feel fortunate to have the opportunity to offer you an environment that is safe and helpful as you explore what life throws your way, finding your path to the healthiest and happiest you. Should I be your therapist, you will see I’m dedicated to helping you navigate your life experiences and relationships in a way which feels manageable, less lonely, and improves your ability to feel how you deserve to feel.
I approach the therapy experience as one of significance, consequence, opportunity. People usually reach out for mental health services seeking a change in their lives, how they feel. I passionately work toward helping clients better understand themselves, what is troubling them and how to use what they learn to gain more agency over their lives. I’ll arrive at therapy sessions with presence, curiosity, a caring heart and soul.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
