Online and Phone Sessions 
Experienced child and family therapist who centers identity in processing anxiety, depression, and trauma using tools like anime, video games, and social media to build connections with clients.
I grew up as an “Army Brat” who went to three different high schools in three years, and am a first-generation college graduate. I draw upon my experiences of transitions, grief & loss, and identity exploration as a biracial (African American and Pacific Islander) man in my clinical work with children and their families. I am trained in experiential play therapy, TF-CBT, and EMDR, but choose to take an interpersonal approach to lessen the stigma and worry that sometimes comes with starting a therapeutic relationship. Outside of work, I will most likely be spending time with my dog, Maya, and my cat, Cinnamon, playing video games, watching anime, or learning about cryptocurrencies and stocks.
