I'm a doctoral-level CBT practitioner who specializes in men's issues, though I have experience treating a large breadth of mental health concerns with diverse clientele. My style is laid back and I prioritize strong therapeutic relationships with all of my clients to serve as springboards for the changes they are hoping to make. A primary goal is to help minimize power dynamics to foster an environment in which clients feel comfortable taking risks and sharing freely. Additionally, I actively emphasize and leverage clients' innate strengths as vehicles through which to reach treatment goals.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

The first session is often used as an opportunity to get to know one another better. All the while, I am collecting relevant data from clients' self-report to help formulate pointed hypotheses about the factors that we will need to target in therapy. Once these hypotheses are formed, it becomes easier for us to move forward systematically in future sessions, in a way that ideally promotes quicker recovery and/or improvement.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My clients have often commented on how my relatability and the fact that I marry an informal style with domain knowledge and effective communication factor among my strengths as a clinician. I also care tremendously about my clients' wellbeing and always devote 100% of my energies to clients when in sessions with them.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Though I specialize in men's issues, I do work with clients of all gender identities and enjoy being able to do so. Typically, my clients come to me for the following issues, all of which I have considerable experience treating: anxiety, depression, trauma, work issues, relationship issues, low self-esteem, career counseling, communication issues, family conflict, attachment issues, and lack of meaning and/or purpose.

I had my first session with Trevor, and I’m so glad I took this step! From the very start, he made me feel comfortable and heard, creating a safe space where I could openly share my thoughts and feelings. I left the session feeling hopeful and supported. I’m excited to continue this journey!

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I am a CBT therapist and therefore weave CBT into everything I do with clients. Once clients better recognize the agency they have over their thinking, it's amazing what they can do.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

I supplement CBT with ACT. I consider ACT metaphors to be especially useful tools for reinforcing understanding of more abstract concepts and use them frequently.

Attachment-based

I have an extensive background in attachment theory, having conducted all of my research work in this area. As a clinician, I have yet to be presented with evidence suggesting that attachment does not in some way influence all that we do.

Motivational Interviewing

I have extensive MI training and, much like ACT, weave this modality into therapy when necessary, especially when working with clients experiencing substance abuse issues.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Most clients' concerns, especially those experiencing anxiety or mood disorders, relate either to a past or future focus. Mindfulness, which involves an enhanced appreciation for the present, is often the key to resolving these issues.
