Hello, I’m Dustin! Life is difficult; there is no rule book. I am here to support you to help you learn new coping skills and strategies. I will partner with you so that you can move toward a life of enthusiasm, wholeness, and fulfillment. Have you ever felt like the “other?” I specialize in working with adults and adolescents ages 15 and up who have felt like the “other.” At some point almost all of us have felt like we were different. Perhaps you may have experienced anxiety or depression, low self-esteem, are an artist or artistic type, are part of the LGBTQ community, are a person of color, or have felt rejected by your family or religious community. These can be traumatic experiences. I am here to help you navigate through these difficult experiences so that you can shine. My style and personality is nurturing and supportive, yet very direct and truthful. It also has a healthy dash of humor and fun. I use a person-centered, creative, and holistic approach to meet your needs and accomplish your goals. Other modalities incorporated include CBT, DBT, trauma-informed approaches, mindfulness,, and underlining psychodynamic work. As an active singer and songwriter, I am also on my own creative and personal journey. I am ready to share with you what I have learned!
Our first session will be us getting to know one another and to put you at ease. I'll introduce myself and how I work and I'll inquire about your expectations and how you work best. Our first session will be an intake, this means I will learn about your history and background. However, the most important thing during our first session is to learn about one another and for you to find a level of comfortability.
If you are ready to grow, be honest with yourself, improve your self-esteem, and enhance your relationships; I'm the therapist for you. I am energetic and passionate about making the best out of our lives. I use this principle with my clients as well as myself. I consider myself a student of life.
