(he/him)
I am a trauma-based therapist, psychodynamic in orientation. I work with clients holistically, believing we are more than the sum of our parts and our trauma's. I tend to consider myself anti-diagnosis putting a major emphasis on making linkages to our pasts including prior relationships and family ties. I am also a dual diagnosis therapist believing with substance abuse concerns are composed of mental health issues and negative experiences. I also prefer but do not find necessary involvement with services from partners, husbands/wifes ect. I find the majority of clients we see also possess stress from unresolved issues with relationships, present and past.
I believe that taking a solid history and listening to the client is of primary importance. Its the clients path prefer to be on, I consider myself eclectic but do focus on a psychodynamic ( past orientation) in deciding on therapeutic trajectory. I consider my first session to be a conversation where trust and a path is to be established with the client. I promote a stress-free environment, going at the client's pace.in our journey.
My major strengths as a provider I believe are my anti-diagnosis and non-stigmatizing views of the behaviors and feelings we experience. I tend to view most everything we consider a "diagnosis" to be normal for what we have experienced in our past and present. I also believe that therapy is to teach and to be taught.
Working in private practice and in a variety of rural setting with limited services I could never be selective in establishing my client load. I believe regardless of symptomology we all possess massive simularities in the casual factors that have and do contribute to depression, anxiety, relationship issues ect.
