More about Darren

  • 23 years' experience
  • Male
  • LMFT

With over 20 years of experience, I use an eclectic approach, drawing from multiple modalities. My background as an Art Therapist, combined with Narrative Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, fosters insight and creates change. I employ a compassionate, non-judgmental, strengths-based approach to enhance my clients' emotional and behavioral functioning, empowering them to reach their fullest potential.

Our work together is designed to bring about whatever changes you are hoping for in your life. My approach is relationship driven and person-centered, which means I don’t try to fit you into the way I “do” therapy; rather, I meet each person, couple, or family with an open-mind, deeply listening to the lived experience that is shared so together we can engage in the healing process in a way that is respectful to you and your family’s values, perceptions, and beliefs.

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.
