Hi! My name is Ian and I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Counselor in California and I am here for you. Do these sound familiar; "I have so much anxiety", "I'm not good enough", "I'll never find someone", "can our marriage be saved?". Challenges in our relationships can be so difficult! I would love to help you. You are not alone. I earned my Master's degree in Counseling Psychology from Southern California Seminary in 2016. I primarily help people with relationship issues, trauma, abuse, self esteem, career challenges, and just the difficulties of everyday life. I have also worked with people who struggle with abandonment and divorce.
I approach people with respect, empathy, and from an attachment based perspective. Understanding how we attach and learning evidence-based skills in a compassionate environment can greatly help bring healing and happiness. I also bring an eclectic mix of therapeutic interventions because I recognize that what benefits and works for one person may not work for another person. I've found my clients really appreciate tailored interventions for their life. Sometimes it's CBT/DBT, other times a solution focused and just talk-therapy works best. Other times a more emotionally focused approach is needed. I always let my clients know what approach I am using.
I truly love being a therapist. I provide a warm, positive, and non-judgmental environment. Everyone deserves to have someone in their corner that they can easily talk to; I'd love to be that person for you. I look forward to meeting you!
