Professional Bio

Hi, I’m Andre, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California with years of experience working across diverse clinical settings and with individuals of all ages. I believe each person brings a unique set of experiences, needs, and challenges, which calls for a personalized and thoughtful approach to therapy. Rather than focusing solely on symptoms or diagnoses, I find meaning in shaping the therapeutic process around the individual.

I’ve always been fascinated by human behavior, interaction, and self-awareness. Even as a child, I was captivated by how I and others responded to the world around us. This early curiosity sparked a deep desire to understand the mind, leading me to explore psychology on my own in high school and take formal courses as soon as possible. Wanting to work in this field has felt like a constant, a path that’s always been part of who I am.

What I enjoy most about being a therapist is the opportunity to work with each individual in a unique and personalized way. I find it deeply rewarding to help people reach a better state of mind and support them in achieving the goals they set for themselves. By focusing on the whole person, not just their experiences, I find greater meaning in the therapeutic process and the work we do together.

I see therapy as much more than treating symptoms or making textbook diagnoses. It’s a space for mental and emotional caretaking. It’s a gym for the mind where growth, reflection, and self-awareness are nurtured. Therapy offers a safe place to examine who we are, where we’re going, and what we truly want. It’s not a quick fix, but an ongoing process of becoming more authentic, aware, and connected to ourselves and the world. It’s where curiosity, healing, and growth come together.

As your therapist, I promise to respect your unique self, to meet you where you’re at, and to work with you, rather than bring my own restraints, beliefs, and confinements into therapy. I will hold space for your experience with openness and care, challenge you when growth demands it, and remain committed to walking alongside you — not ahead of you, not behind you, but with you — as you shape a life that feels true to who you are.

I look forward to learning more about you!
