More about me

Years in Practice: 20 State: California

I am licensed in California with 20 years of professional work experience (6 in New York, 3 in Hawaii and 11 in California). I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, LGBTQI-related issues, family conflicts, & trauma and abuse. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I also believe in the importance of cultural humility, diversity, inclusion and dismantling oppression and how it impacts our lives.

I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling life and a life worth living takes courage. I am here to support you in that process and hold space. I also have clinical and therapeutic experience working with women, people impacted by chronic illness (cancer, HIV/AIDS), communities of color; as well as working on processing inter-generational trauma and how it impacts individuals and families.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online 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. Ranging from $60 to $90 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.

Overall

Francis has showed me the way to cultivate healthy love in all my relationships and especially toward myself. I love his ability to reframe intergenerational negative thought patterns and extract the rich kernels of wisdom present in all experiences. He has offered me so much relief from a lifetime of shame regarding my sexuality and gender, and guided me to a path toward freedom to be my authentic self. I will never forget this revolutionary year in my life under the support of Francis.

Francis has been such a wonderful guidance in navigating my difficult family dynamics and intergenerational trauma. He is very insightful and smart. He helped me so much in understanding not only my own trauma, but also my family's. I have healed and learned so much. I am so grateful to have him as my therapist. I recommend him to anyone who needs a sound voice of empathy and reason.
