Biography
Dr. Josh is a Clinical Neuroscientist, Marriage & Family Therapist, and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. He uses his unique understanding of the relationship between mind, body, and heart to help clients become more mindful of their thoughts and emotions. He began his career as an engineer, working at USC's Optical Materials and Devices Laboratory where he helped develop retinal prosthetics to restore vision to blind. However, he quickly discovered that his real interest was in the human aspects of helping people see, not building the devices themselves. He soon transitioned to USC's Neuroscience and Marriage & Family Therapy programs, where he studied with Dr. Laura Baker at the USC Twin Project. There he worked with twins to discover how environment and genetics help shape who we become.
