Brian received his M.A. in Clinical Psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology, Sacramento. As a Latinx military veteran, he has a passion for helping young adults, veterans, minorities, and undocumented students.

Brian has previously worked predominantly with adults dealing with anxiety, stress, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and depression. He also has experience working with veterans, college students, and divorced clients. His clinical interests include humanistic therapies, narrative-based therapies, and treatment of PTSD, OCD, imposter syndrome, and addiction. Brian provides individual, couples, and group therapy. Although he primarily practices using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), he also draws from other theoretical frameworks including strengths-based approaches, art therapy interventions, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

Outside of work, Brian enjoys traveling, hiking, DND, and sports.
