Great to meet you!

Hi, I'm Bret. I got my BA in Psychology from LMU and my MA in Counseling Psychology from National University. Before becoming a therapist I worked at schools, coached basketball, and worked at Philz Coffee. I like surfing, camping and classic cars.

A bit about my approach to therapy

Down to earth. I offer psychoeducation and interventions when I think they can be helpful. Otherwise deepening insight, processing emotions and clarifying the meaning behind them.

What you can expect from our first session

Feeling seen, heard, and understood. Hopefully some new insights or a new perspective of the presenting problem.


Bret's style is

Solution-oriented
Warm
Open-minded
