Hi, I'm Brian! I'm a licensed counselor with a background in holistic medicine as well. I've worked with a variety of mental health concerns, with my primary specialty being treating trauma.
I am a passionate clinical therapist who loves working with children, women, couples and families going through challenging times. Are you and your your child having trouble communicating? Are you and your spouse having trouble communicating? Do you see them going through a hard time, long to help but don't know how? Do you suffer from Bipolar Disorder? I am here for you. Do you feel undone by anxiety or depression and don't know how to "shake it off"?
Through the course of my career I have primarily worked with individuals who are experiencing Depression and Anxiety, adjusting to life changes and transitions, having difficulty managing stress, and challenges with interpersonal relationships. I support healthy communication in relationships and explore parenting skills to encourage healthy family dynamics. I also work with the Deaf individuals and understand the cultural needs.
There may be times when you wish you had someone who truly listens, deeply and without judgment. Let me be that person for you.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in San Diego, CA
Finding postpartum therapists in San Diego starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Postpartum concerns can include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. Some people look for talk therapy for postpartum depression, while others want a therapist with perinatal training or experience supporting new parents. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties that match what you want to focus on. The PMH-C credential can also signal advanced training in perinatal mental health.
San Diego has a large mental health care market, which can make it harder to narrow your options across neighborhoods, schedules, and appointment formats. For new parents, logistics matter. Unpredictable schedules, infant care, and physical recovery can make virtual appointments a practical option, while in-person sessions may work well if you prefer an office near home, work, or transit. Before booking, read therapist bios to understand their approach, availability, session style, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Therapy in San Diego can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket session costs. Headway helps you find postpartum therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and show estimated costs before you book. You can compare therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
