Hi there, I'm Joshua!

I have been in the counseling field for more than 15 years as both an addiction counselor and clinical social worker. I am a proud graduate of the University of Southern California Dworak-Peck School of Social Work. Licensed in the state of California as an LCSW.

My approach

I consider myself an ally in the therapeutic process with the goal of helping my clients unlock their potential. I specialize in motivational interviewing, addiction counseling, and anger management.

My focus

My ideal client is an adult client who is seeking something better for themselves.

My communication style

I am a direct, supportive communicator.

My journey to mental healthcare

Sometimes people need help, I have needed help in my life and I wanted to help other people. I started as an addiction counselor and continued my education to broaden my ability to work in different aspects of the counseling field.

My goals for you

My goal is to help the client reach their goals in a supportive, mindful environment.

My first session with you
