Hi there, I'm Clifford!
Aloha, I understand therapy as an open and collaborative conversation, one we can have at any point in our lives. My sessions do not emphasize a person’s diagnoses, and I never view people through the lens of pathology. I prefer to build a warm and nurturing environment that provides space for us to address your specific needs.
My focus
Those I work with are seeking help to address trauma and sexual trauma, serious mental illness, severe anxiety disorders, major depression or bipolar disorder, forensic encumbrance, substance use and process addiction, issues related to sex and sexuality, while many are navigating the transgender experience.
My approach
I have been trained and educated in a vast array of treatment modalities and interventions, and what I have found after all these years is that people do not easily fit into a mold, and that means no single theory will work on its own. I prefer to develop individualized treatment strategies that we can develop and evolve together as we work.
