Hi there, I'm Douglas!

I'm glad you're taking this first step toward your mental health journey. I work with teens and adults seeking peace, healing, or ways to cope with recent stressors. Whether you're navigating difficult emotions or looking for support, I'm here to help you find your path forward.

My focus

I identify as an LGBTQIA ally, am neurodivergent affirming, and integrate personal "geek" interests into my work, such as anime, comics, K-pop, and video games. Specific presenting concerns I have experience treating include breakups, codependency, navigating dating apps, social anxiety, stress from the medical field, and poly/open relationships.

My approach

I have found that clients gain the most benefit from treatment when I adopt a trauma-based approach, especially EMDR, that goes deeper into an individual's trauma narrative. As they gain deeper insight and understand where certain negative patterns come from, I find that clients are able to challenge these patterns more effectively.
