With Leo, you will foster a relationship centered around honesty, compassion, and partnership, all geared towards helping you form a richer, more fulfilling life.
Leo prides himself on employing a 'curiosity approach'. Rather than drawing conclusions from his personal perspective, he relies on a respectful, inquisitive method, using carefully considered questions to gain a deeper, more authentic grasp of your experiences. For instance, if you describe yourself as 'anxious' to Leo, he will delve deeper with curiosity-led inquiry to understand what 'anxiety' truly means to you. Leo's collaboration with you is rooted in the belief that nobody understands your life better than you do. Together, you will explore, unearth, and create effective solutions tailored to your unique experience. Furthermore, Leo offers the convenience and privacy of online therapy, allowing you to attend your sessions without the worries of logistical constraints or confidentiality issues. Though online therapy may not be suited for all types of concerns, Leo is committed to making a thorough assessment, ensuring this platform is the right fit for your needs. As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the State of California, Leo offers his clients the expertise they need when they need it. Whether you are an individual adult or a couple, Leo will center his approach based on your strengths, future goals, and expectations.
