About
Hello, I’m Joshua, a licensed marriage and family therapist. I see clients in California by video.
As a therapist and a retired first responder, I understand firsthand how trauma, stress, and life transitions can affect every part of your well-being. My work is grounded in both clinical training and real-world experience, so I can offer a steady, supportive place for meaningful change.
How I work
I specialize in treating PTSD, anxiety, and stress. Brainspotting and EMDR are evidence-based approaches that can reduce symptoms such as hypervigilance, nightmares, and intrusive thoughts. I also bring in other approaches to help you build practical coping skills and regain a sense of balance and control.
