About My Clients
What’s standing in the way of what matters to you? Sometimes it’s trauma. Or a relationship you can’t seem to heal from. Maybe drugs are helping you cope but blocking your authentic self. Career stress sucks too. And our partners and friends can be sources of great joy or great discomfort. Will these challenges drown you? Absolutely not. You have the courage within you to find meaning in this suffering.
My Background and Approach
I’m here to walk beside you in your experience and ask the questions that help you realize your worth and power. You exist and you matter. I work from frameworks of Existentialism and Attachment-Theory. My understanding of the human experience is heavily influenced by EMDR and we’ll use tools from these modalities to empower and heal you.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
With me, you’re not going to get the “counselor accent”. The way I talk to you will be the way I talk in daily life. You deserve the real me. The me that has experienced the good and bad things that drove me to wanting to do this work. I believe in the systemic forces that have made stuff suck for marginalized people. I recognize that as a white, tatted, male, I represent a potentially threatening identity. I hope to prove my safeness and compassion to you. And I’ll fight beside you in making your life better. We hold trauma in our bodies. And I will use tools like EMDR to help you process that stuff and become the you-est you! We can’t change the past and we can’t change the world easily. But I believe you have the tools in you to become happy with who you are and make choices that align with your soul. We’ll drift between existentially informed conversations about the driving force of death and scientifically supported applications of trauma processing.
