I am a licensed psychotherapist in the state of Florida with over 7 years of Social Work experience. I have worked with diverse clients with a variety of concerns including depression, anxiety, life transitions, race related stress, difficulties related to social justice, mass incarceration and LGBTQ issues. I also helped many people who have experienced systemic stress and or complex emotional abuse.

My therapy style is compassionate and focused on creating a safe environment. I utilizes intersectional perspectives, compassion and evidenced based psychotherapy techniques to aid in emotional and mindset healing. Helping individuals with anxiety symptoms, depressive symptoms, grief, life transitions, relationship issues and much more. 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. However, the rewards are well worth the journey.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

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.
