I am a licensed psychotherapist in the state of Florida with over 7 years of Social Work experience.

I am passionate about individuality and the uniqueness of each persons experience and identity. I will honor the truth of who you are and make compassionate and accepting space for you to heal, explore, grow and reach your goals. Taking the first step to create a more healthy and balanced life is one I applaud you on. It takes much courage to choose to care for your mental health.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I’m so relieved I found a therapist who has a naturally easy personality. Brian is very understanding, on top of it, and genuine. He’s great at gently guiding our sessions to be constructive.

He listens, no matter how insane you think your thoughts might be, he listens and that’s very important. I’m glad I was paired with him.

Brian & I have only had 3 sessions together at this point & I already am noticing changes in how I navigate what I’m in therapy for. He’s given me new perspectives on things I’ve been thinking in circles about & and he’s incredibly validating. Looking forward to continue working with him. He’s great. 6 stars.
