Welcome to my practice. My aim is to create a warm, accepting, and safe environment where you can freely explore your concerns and to collaboratively find ways to overcome the challenges that you're facing.
My work is mainly focused on working with adult individuals who are struggling with anxiety: Social Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Public Speaking/Performance Anxiety, Phobias/Fears. I mostly use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy (ERP) approaches. I also integrate Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered approaches into my work.
Common things I hear from my clients are things like:
"Once I understood why my brain was overreacting, it changed everything"
"After the first session, I felt relief in knowing that what I'm experiencing is a common challenge and that there's a path forward"
"Brian's patience and professionalism helped me so much."
please note: examples above are aggregated depictions of feedback from clients; per ethical guidelines in my field, direct testimonials are never solicited or used.
Though much of my work is focused on anxiety, I'm experienced in and may be able to assist you with other issues: depression, life transitions, cross-cultural adjustment, career and workplace issues, and parenting/step-parenting issues.
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I am dedicated to continuous professional growth and seek ongoing education on anxiety, mood disorders, law and ethics, cultural issues, and various treatment modalities. This ensures that I remain up to date with the latest research and therapeutic approaches. In addition, I seek regular, monthly professional consultation from respected, senior clinicians.
I became a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in 2020 in California (LMFT122484), following the completion of my master's degree in Counseling Psychology from Dominican University of California in 2017. This comprehensive education included classroom instruction, in addition to supervised practicums and internships:

- Clinical Specialist, UCLA Semel Institute, civilian U.S Military contractor, Twentynine Palms, CA, 2018

- San Rafael City Schools, San Rafael, CA, 2017 - 2018
- Family Works, San Rafael, CA, 2016 - 2018
My professional affiliations include:

- Board of Directors (Outreach) - International Mental Health Professionals Japan (2023 - present)
- Vice President - International Mental Health Professionals Japan (2022 - 2023)
