More about Keith
- 26 years' experience
- Male
- LMFT
I am a family and marriage therapist licensed in California with over 20 years of experience as a caring witness working with youth, adults, couples, and families to help them increase their ability to balance personal motivations with social and relationship challenges. As a passionate and curious learner, I embrace a "each one teach one" and "it takes a village" counseling style.
I have had the honor and blessing of a few caring witnesses in my life. I pledge my life's work to pass on the attentive sense of care that was instilled in me. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life. If you are ready to take that step toward change, I am ready to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you.

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.

Keith is incredible! He provides a lot of links and information tailored to your needs, so you can continue to work and learn about yourself. He has uplifting energy, and I would find myself feeling so much better after our sessions. I would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for therapy
Great guy
Keith is a wonderful therapist! He has clear and helpful solutions to the issues I bring up and has a calm presence. I highly recommend him!
I started BetterHelp 3 weeks ago and the amount of help and articles Keith has given me to help me heal in my journey in moving forward gives me back this great sense of hope again that I felt I lost. I have learned so much by utilizing all the resources he's given me. Keith is outstanding at listening and always has the most effective tools to help you grow. So glad I chose to reach out and getting placed with him.
I love Keith's energy, he is so calm and positive. He understands me and makes me feel good
Honestly I’m glad i got paired with Keith, i feel we both can relate to a lot of things.
Very experienced, great listener, A great platform to better understand, mindset patterns, and address recurring issues
Keith is the most understanding therapist I’ve ever had. He truly is a patient and creative person. He provided me with the tools to help me through my struggles and challenges. I thoroughly enjoyed every session with him! He inspired me so much that I have been working on my own self and making sure I can do what he asks. He’s the best therapist I’ve ever had!
Very professional and timely, no games and tells it like it is also very invested in making progress.
He is a great listener and I feel he is trying to help me with techniques that work for me. I love working with him and he keeps me calm
Keith is an absolute expert in his field. He truly cares about the improvement and wellbeing of his clients. Just like a coach, he has spots my weak areas and challenged me to me improve. At the end of the day, you must be willing to be transparent and you have to put in the hard work for yourself…Keith is the perfect therapist to come along side you to cheer you on and hold you accountable to your action plan for the betterment of your mind, body, and soul.
Keith has listened, asked if he can provide information before interrupting, very receptive, all around a better help
I had two sessions with Keith and both were extremely helpful. He listened carefully and gave me a lot of very useful counseling, as well as resources to read, ideas to put in action. Exactly what I was needing. Unfortunately I can't continue for now, but if / when I restart I would definitely like to reconnect with him.
Keith is very easy to talk to. I love that ie can be transparent at times and shares his own experience that relates to me. He is kind, motivated and always willing to take the time to understand me. He provides me information that gives me the tools to help me understand my feelings and situations.
Keith has been wonderful at listening to my issues and reframing them in a new light in order for me to approach them with a different perspective. This change in thinking often helps me break free from negative feedback loops in my thought, and to approach my issues with a more positive and growth-focused mindset. Using the tools he's provided me, I've been able to greatly improve my thought patterns and habits, which has in turn helped me feel better about myself and become a happier person once again. Thanks Keith!
Has a good amount of material that he has given me to help. Has listened and understood me and what im striving for. And I understand whatbis being relayed to me through his talking about it.
Keith is honestly the best. He’s made me realize something about myself that I never knew and now that I do, I can work on it! Thank you Keith!
Keith was very helpful and easy to talk to. He was very attentive to what was being said and did a good job of circling back to something that might have been said that stuck out to him.
Awesome listener and very responsive. Great energy
Great therapist, who truly listens and supports you! Very grateful to have him as my therapist.
Keith has been a great listener and he always sends materials to help with my problems.
Keith has a gentle presence and a deep capacity to listen with curiosity. I find his questions interesting and insightful. He's helping me explore painful life situations with clarity and grace-filled understanding. Keith's experience working with trauma and his love for his work shine through every conversation.
Even though we’re very early into the session so far, I find it very easy to open up and talk about personal issues with Keith, shows a professional mannerism, and ask me questions that I find hard to ask myself
Keith is wise, attentive, professional, and friendly. He challenges you with great questions and guides conversations seamlessly. 10/10 would recommend :)
Amazing asset for military personnel.
Great job so far.
He's awesome. I'm so happy to have his advice and applying it to my issues as well as relationship issues. I feel like I've grown a lot.
Keith is extremely professional and helped me through a rough time in my life. His advice was extremely helpful and would recommend him to anyone.
Absolute professional who's military expertise allows him to connect to service members and opens the door to fluid and comfortable communication. Aside from being a great listener, Keith challenges you to reflect and explore the words you use to better understand why you identify in such a way and uproots more foundational conserns that may need to be addressed. Absolute blessing working with Keith 11/10 recommend.
