Professional statement

Kevin works with adults, adolescents, couples, and LGBTQIA2S+ clients who are navigating trauma, identity concerns, addiction recovery, and the ongoing impact of relational wounds. Many of his clients arrive carrying stories that were never spoken aloud, seeking a place where they can finally be understood without judgment. He offers therapy for individuals who want more than symptom relief, people who want to understand why they feel what they feel and why specific patterns keep repeating.

His therapeutic approach is depth-oriented, trauma-informed, and grounded in the nervous system. Kevin helps clients explore the roots of their experiences, including early attachment injuries, internal parts that protect or defend, and beliefs formed during moments of survival. His work integrates EMDR, somatic awareness, cognitive behavioral modalities, and emotionally focused strategies, allowing clients to uncover meaning and create lasting change rather than temporary fixes. He follows the client's pace, supporting insight, regulation, and a more compassionate relationship with the self.

Kevin brings years of experience in trauma treatment, co-occurring disorders, and LGBTQIA2S+ affirming care. He is a licensed clinical social worker, a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist, and a clinician trained in EMDR, EFT tapping, and evidence-based behavioral therapies. His professional path is shaped not only by formal training but by years of work in integrated care settings, community mental health, and leadership roles in clinical programming. He approaches his work with the belief that people heal in connection, not isolation.

Sessions are available to residents of states where he holds licensure, and he offers flexible scheduling to accommodate clients with demanding lives. His office environment and virtual space are intentionally designed to feel safe, inclusive, and grounded so that clients can bring their whole selves to work.


Message to clients

Before we begin working together, I want you to know that therapy with me is not about perfection or performing strength. It is about showing up as you are, even on the days when you feel unsure, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself. My hope is that you feel a sense of safety and steadiness in our work, enough that you can tell the truth about your experiences without fear of judgment. You do not have to have the right words or a polished story. Your nervous system and your emotions will guide us.

I also want you to know that I move at your pace. Healing asks for patience and courage, and it unfolds differently for everyone. Some sessions bring insight, others bring release, and sometimes the work is simply learning to stay present with yourself. My role is to support you as you explore the deeper layers of your life, the places where old patterns began and where new ones can take shape.

Most of all, I hope you find something in therapy that feels like home, something inside you that was always there but maybe never had space to grow. Whether you are coming to understand trauma, repair relationships, manage anxiety, or find your identity again, I am honored to walk alongside you as you build a life that feels more grounded, honest, and whole.

Specialties

LGBTQIA, gender, & sexuality topics - I work with individuals navigating identity, belonging, and the impact of rejection or invalidation within family, community, or religious systems. This includes processing religious trauma, identity-based shame, and grief related to loss of connection or support. My approach creates space for exploration while helping clients build a more grounded and self-defined sense of identity.

Complex PTSD (C-PTSD) - I specialize in working with complex trauma rooted in prolonged or repeated experiences, such as childhood neglect, relational trauma, or chronic instability. Treatment focuses on emotional regulation, parts work, and processing deeply held patterns that impact relationships, self-concept, and nervous system functioning.

Trauma - I help clients process the effects of overwhelming or threatening experiences, including emotional, physical, or psychological harm. Our work focuses not only on what happened, but how it continues to live in the body and mind, with an emphasis on restoring safety, stability, and control.

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) - I provide structured trauma treatment for individuals experiencing intrusive memories, hypervigilance, avoidance, or emotional reactivity. Therapy focuses on safely processing traumatic material while building the internal capacity needed to reduce symptom intensity and improve daily functioning.

Shame - Shame often operates beneath the surface but can shape how you see yourself and relate to others. I help clients identify the origins of shame, often rooted in early experiences or trauma, and work toward reducing its hold through insight, emotional processing, and developing a more stable sense of self.

Attachment issues - I work with individuals who notice patterns in relationships such as fear of abandonment, difficulty trusting others, emotional withdrawal, or becoming overly dependent. These patterns often develop early in life and continue to shape how you connect with others. In therapy, we explore the origins of these attachment dynamics while building more secure, flexible ways of relating to yourself and the people in your life.
