I am Brandon, a pre-licensed Associate Therapist. I am passionate and capable to work with anyone who walks through the door. My belief is that anyone seeking therapy is able to recognize that things can be better than where they are now. I specialize in working with diverse populations including individuals with trauma, adults, adolescents, geriatrics, those with substance use disorder, and Autism-Spectrum disorder.

 

I prefer to let the conversations and client’s needs guide treatment, rather than a specific theory; although I am well versed in Cognitive Behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care and person-centered therapy. 

​

I grew up on the east coast and moved to California in 2018. I graduated from the University of California, Irvine in 2022 with a B.A. in Criminology, Law & Society, and a minor in Psychological Sciences. From there, I attended the Chicago School of Professional Psychology and completed my M.A. in Forensic Psychology in 2025. 

​

I have enjoyed working with children for almost a decade in various settings and helping them work through struggles related to:

• Autism

• Muscular dystrophy

• Anxiety

• Major Depression

• PTSD

• And more

 

Moreover, I have found it rewarding to work with the parents and caregivers of these kids, as they are the foundation of what helps their child grow. 

​

I also spent time counseling for an intensive outpatient program, wherein I worked with many people who struggled with substance abuse and trauma. Everyone had a unique story and perspective of the world that made working with them feel like a partnership - dependent on collaboration, respect, and understanding.

 

I respect everyone’s journey that led them to where they are today, and I am not here to judge. Rather, I would like to offer assistance to help you continue on in your journey, in a way you are happy with. 

​

During my time outside of work, I enjoy playing and teaching chess; I also enjoy playing pickleball, hiking, and taking road trips to new places!
