Associate Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #147636

 Supervised by Steven Perez LPCC #11596

Joel is passionate about guiding his clients through life's challenges with greater clarity, resilience, and self-understanding. He believes many of the difficulties we face are connected to deeper patterns, beliefs, and experiences that shape how we relate to ourselves and the world around us. Through a warm, collaborative, and compassionate approach, Joel's pursuit is that his clients receive the insight and tools needed to produce freedom, healing, and breakthrough in all areas of their life. 

Joel has experience working with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, emotional regulation, relationship issues, grief, and identity development. His approach is relational, authentic, and grounded in the belief that meaningful change often occurs within the context of a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship.

Outside of the therapy room, Joel enjoys playing sports and board games, spending time with friends and family, and taking advantage of the beautiful beaches and outdoor lifestyle throughout San Diego.
