Meet Josh
Clients who typically have difficulty sharing or being vulnerable, especially those who have experienced trauma or abuse, often find an unexpected sense of trust & safety with me. I like to ensure clients feel safe, comfortable, and seen while challenging them to grow and overcome barriers. Fostering relationships without judgment allows us to recognize what keeps getting us stuck.
I value connection and shared exploration. In the first few sessions, I'll get to know you and what you care about so that your values, goals and needs guide us.
How I can help

Couples intensivesIf therapy hasn't helped before
Many people find me after other therapy didn't give them what they hoped for. With 17+ years of experience, more than a decade as a licensed clinician, and deep training in IFS, EMDR, and EFT, I focus on creating real safety and trust first, so we can reach what has felt out of reach. See my background.

How I work
People heal and take risks when they feel safe and supported, so everything I do rests on an attachment lens. I draw on Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, Emotionally Focused Therapy, AEDP-informed attachment work, ACT and mindfulness, and body-based (somatic) tools. Before opening my practice I created and directed an integrated behavioral health program in a family medical center, and I supported families in pediatric and newborn intensive care at Children's Hospital Los Angeles.
