“You and everyone you’ve known has struggled at times. Whether an unexpected life-change, a yearning to live more authentically, or the balancing and maintaining of relationships — any person could benefit from the reflection and introspection afforded in therapy.“
A Note From Joe:
Therapy can mean a lot of things to a lot of people. Whether you’re brand new to the experience or a seasoned veteran, I believe we can explore together the struggles that have brought you to this point and deconstruct the patterns that may no longer be useful to you. I take an integrative approach to helping identify the parts of you that seek growth and change, while creating a space that allows for the potential processing of grief and trauma.
I enjoy working with couples, whether it’s intimacy issues, communication problems, or the arrival at a crossroads in their relationship. In doing work with individuals, I gravitate towards the anxious, the creative type, and the therapy first-timer — and all are welcome for initial intakes & trial runs. I received my bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Cal State LA and hold a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University, Los Angeles. I’ve acquired specialized training in the Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy (PACT), treating couples through the lens of attachment, neuroscience, and recognition of maladaptive communication patterns.
When not providing therapy, I can be found enjoying the outdoors, watching a basketball or football matchup, making some music, or reliving a Seinfeld episode in my mind. If any of this sounds like a fit to you, reach out for an appointment or consultation. I look forward to working with you.
