I’m Brian, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with children, adolescents, and young adults navigating social, emotional, and developmental challenges. I support clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, attachment-related concerns, and identity development. My therapeutic approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT), DBT-informed skills, and breath-work within a strength-based, solution-focused, and person-centered framework. As a bi-racial adoptee with extensive travel experience, I bring a culturally informed perspective on identity, belonging, and resilience. I strive to create a collaborative and compassionate space where clients can build self-awareness, strengthen emotional regulation, set healthy boundaries, and draw upon their strengths to support meaningful, lasting change.

I earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from George Mason University and have experience working in nonprofit and agency-based settings. I have specialized training in Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT) and Gestalt play therapy. I also volunteered with the Northern Paiute Tribe of Nevada through AmeriCorps’ Student Conservation Association, contributing to community service and environmental projects through a national service initiative. My professional and volunteer experiences have allowed me to support individuals and communities across diverse clinical, cultural, and community contexts, reinforcing my commitment to accessible, developmentally informed, and relationship-centered care.
