My approach is warm & collaborative, using evidence-based therapies including EMDR, CBT, DBT, SFBT, Person-Centered Therapy. I believe trust, feeling heard, & collaboration are the foundation of effective therapy. I specialize in PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar, Borderline, OCD, Trauma, Crises, suicidal ideation, marital, relationships, children, Adults, LGBTQ, Anger

I have worked at Brylin Hospital, BestSelf, Endeavor, Restoration Society, Gateway Longview. EMDR, Person Centered, CBT, Solution Focused, Exposure Therapy and DBT, are some of the Evidence Based therapies I utilize. A lot of my clients have had bad experiences in therapy and I am thankful when they tell me “Joe you are the first who one who really listens”
