I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 15 years of experience working to support a variety of couples, families, and groups across cultural and socioeconomic spectra in private practice, community mental health agency, acute psychiatric hospitals, and varied correctional settings. I served as Adjunct Faculty at the Master’s level for University of San Francisco, Holy Names University, Golden Gate University, William Jessup University, Western Seminary, and Samuel Merritt University, as well as post-secondary at San Jose City College and William Jessup University. Me and my wife have been married for eight years and dote on their 15 nieces, nephews, and godchildren. I personally hope to make it to every NBA, NFL, MLB, and NHL stadium for his Bucket List. My ideal client would be someone wanting someone to collaborate with them to work through identity and issues navigating life. We just came out of a difficult period of time with COVID along with an uncertain societal space. I help my clients find safe ways and spaces to grieve their losses and also find strengths in a not-so-linear way. People tend to feel that I 'get' them fairly quicly and I do my best not to harbor any judgment.
