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.

Therapist

I'm passionate about helping people build the skills to cope with emotional and mental health challenges and live healthy, full lives. I work with adults facing relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and ongoing mental health conditions.

My goal is to help you find a healthier perspective on what you're facing and to build practical coping skills you can rely on long after our sessions. Together, we'll draw on the strengths you already have so you can feel more confident and find your direction.

I draw on several approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Gestalt therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS), and I tailor my work to fit you and your goals.
