Hi there, I'm Francis! I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with a Master's in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University and additional graduate training at California State University. My approach to therapy is collaborative and supportive, helping you feel understood while guiding you toward meaningful change. I specialize in helping you navigate major life transitions-whether it's a career shift, relationship change, or personal reinvention. I also focus on addressing gaming and internet addiction, as well as the emotional aspects of financial stress, so you can build a healthier relationship with both technology and money. My approach I take a humanistic, person-centered approach, meaning therapy is centered around you-your experiences, your emotions, and your goals. My role is to empower you to better understand yourself, find solutions that feel right for you, and create meaningful change in your life. I also incorporate elements of Stoic philosophy to help you develop mental resilience and navigate challenges with clarity and confidence. My focus You might be going through a major life transition-starting or leaving a job, moving to a new stage in life, or figuring out what's next-and feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Maybe gaming, social media, or internet use has started taking up more of your time than you'd like, affecting your daily life and relationships. Or perhaps financial stress is making it hard to feel secure or in control. If any of this sounds familiar, I can help you explore these challenges, understand the deeper emotions behind them, and develop strategies that bring balance and confidence back into your life. My communication style Therapy with me is warm, nonjudgmental, and structured to help you feel both supported and challenged. I take a direct yet compassionate approach-helping you work through difficult emotions while also giving you practical tools to manage life's stressors.
