Hi there, I'm Douglas!
I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. I have a master's degree in divinity and counseling psychology, as well as a doctorate in clinical psychology. I am also a trained EMDR therapist. I have been a brother and then a priest in the Catholic Church; I have worked as a foster family social worker.
My focus
I work with adults and young adults facing ADD/ADHD, anxiety, autistic-spectrum challenges, depression, loss and grief, sexual abuse, and trauma/PTSD. My experience spans helping people overcome past traumas, manage present stressors, and build toward the future they envision.
My approach
I use a combination of interpersonal, client-centered, behavioral, cognitive, solution-focused, and motivational approaches, along with EMDR when helpful. This flexible blend allows me to tailor therapy to your unique needs and what will serve you best.
