Meet JJ --
Hey there! Welcome to my corner of the web. I'm JJ, a queer therapist with a background in higher levels of care. My wheelhouse? Problem-focused treatment. My approach? Educational, relational, and direct.
Every client I've met with is different and requires a specific and personalized approach to treatment. I've delved into the complexities of systems, tackling issues like suicidal ideation, self-harm, and trauma head-on. I prioritize equipping my clients with the skills to navigate challenges before diving into deeper trauma work.
I'm a firm believer in ongoing education, always hunting for fresh ways to connect with my clients as a lifelong learner. I have strong applied knowledge in facilitating DBT, ACT, CBT, and motivational interviewing. I have additional specialized training in EMDR, CPT, and ERP.
If you’re a teen, young adult, or caregiver facing trauma, attachment struggles, or tough emotions, I get it - and I’m here to help. When we work together, expect a blend of humor, self-expression, and a growth mindset. No "blank slate" here; I bring my authentic self to every session, balancing warmth with professionalism.
Outside the therapy room, you'll find me immersed in fashion, practicing yoga, soaking up nature, enjoying live music with my partner, and, of course, loving on my dog, Leo.
Let’s take this journey together; reach out when you're ready.
