Hi there, I'm Donald!

I love the helping relations profession and believe in the therapeutic process. Moreover, I live by the Shakespearean quote, "To thine own self be true." The ability to live, love, and laugh despite what you are going through can be very challenging. My vision is to help clients establish whole, healthy lifestyles and relationships.

My focus

I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) as well as a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC) in Los Angeles, California, with 12 years of professional work experience in the field of Mental Health. I have had the awesome pleasure of helping clients with stress, anger management, career exploration, life adjustments, as well as grief.

My approach

My counseling style is one that is relaxed, but direct and engaging. I have been described as sympathetic, sensitive, and understanding, with a pretty good sense of humor. I like to focus on identifying your strengths and helping you to maximize them to conquer your barriers. I'm here to help you sort through the things that are difficult right now
