Hi, I'm Jeff.
I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California with five years of professional experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges. My style is collaborative and direct — I won't sugarcoat the hard stuff, but I will always meet you with respect, compassion, and honesty.
I work especially well with clients from the LGBTQIA+ community and those who identify as neurodivergent, though I welcome anyone who’s ready to explore real, meaningful change. My areas of focus include anxiety, stress, grief and loss, identity exploration, family conflict, self-esteem, motivation, and finding confidence in who you are.
Therapy isn't always easy — healing can be uncomfortable. But you're not meant to do it alone. Together, we’ll create a space where you can speak freely, feel seen, and move forward at your own pace. The fact that you're even reading this says a lot about your strength. I'm glad you're here.

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.
