Who is Joel?

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have a Master’s Degree in counseling psychology and am licensed with both the State of California and the State of Texas to provide treatment to individuals, groups, and families.

I am a guy who loves his wife, 3 sons, sports, and the ever changing number of pets in my home. My passion is helping sort the chaos into a path forward.

Growing up in a fractured and chaotic home I learned that you can endure most anything when you combine insight with resilience. This has always made me hopeful because both insight and resilience can be gained if you are willing to put the work in. As a result, it does not matter where I started, or where you start, healing is always available.

I saw my first clients in the summer of 2003 and in the intervening years have held a variety of positions that have allowed me to treat a wide spectrum of ages, populations, and concerns. Kids, adults, and seniors. Those adopted and those abandoned. College professors, elite athletes, CEOs, and high school drop outs. Perpetrators and victims. Addictions, compulsions, depression, anxiety, and so many kinds of relationship problems. Whether it is a high conflict marriage where it never seems to get better, a small business where co-founders can’t coexist, or a teenager whose out of control; I have been the guy to guide them out of the crisis toward a more intentional life.
