Hi there, I'm Derrick!

You don't have to have it all figured out before reaching out. I work with people who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unclear about who they are or where they're going. In therapy, I offer a space for honesty, clarity, and movement, rooted in curiosity and compassion. Whenever you're ready, I'm here to begin that process with you.

My focus

You may be feeling anxious, ungrounded, or uncertain about who you are or what's next. I work with adults navigating transitions, identity questions, emotional overwhelm, or patterns that no longer serve them. I'll help you build insight, reconnect with your values, and move forward.

My approach

My approach is collaborative, steady, and rooted in presence. I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, parts work, and narrative exploration to help you make sense of your inner world and take meaningful steps forward. I adapt our work to what you need, whether slowing down to reflect or getting practical with tools.
