I will be your biggest and loudest supporter and advocate. I use a little bit of humor, mixed in with kindness, and a whole lot of warmth to help you dig deep into your story. Together, we'll challenge the stories you tell yourself about your life, your experience, and society. I have extensive experience working with folks experiencing anxiety/depression, work burnout, life transitions, relationship challenges, and folks exploring their identity (all identities are absolutely welcomed here!)

I am a dedicated and compassionate Licensed Clinical Social Worker with extensive experience guiding individuals, children, and families through life’s most complex challenges. My practice is built on a trauma-focused lens and a relationship-based approach, meaning I prioritize creating a safe, secure therapeutic bond to foster true healing.

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with diverse populations including extensive practice experience in public and private school settings, and private practice experiences within the hospital Emergency Room, Home Health agencies, Community Mental Health clinics, and Infant/Toddler and Early Child Development.

I offer specialized expertise in navigating the unique transitions of Maternal/Infant Mental Health, supporting Veterans, military-connected families and First Responders utilizing Holistic treatment modalities, addressing adult relationship challenges impacting health and emotional well-being, and supporting adolescent mental health including providing Wellness Coaching to Elite Junior athletes in issues impacting varying emotions associated with their performance including motivation, focus, performance anxiety, depression, maladaptive perfectionism and burnout.

I hold a Psy.D. in Organizational Management and Consulting from Phillips Graduate Institute in Encino, CA., MSW and MPH degrees from UC Berkeley, in Community Mental Health/School Social Work and Social Work Administration/Maternal and Child Health and a B.A in Psychology from UC Berkeley. I have a Pupil Personnel Credential (CA) and received a Parent/Infant Mental Health Certificate from Fielding Graduate University in Santa Barbara, CA.

Some of what you are carrying has never fit neatly into words. I'm Richard, a licensed marriage and family therapist in California and a working artist with a master's degree in fine art. Over twenty years in mental health, across inpatient units, day programs, and skilled nursing, I have sat with teens, adults, and seniors through anxiety, depression, grief and loss, bipolar disorder, family conflict, stress, and the weight of chronic illness. I am patient, open-minded, and inclusive, and when talking stalls I bring in expressive art. You do not need to be an artist for that to help. Come as you are.
