This can create long-term behavioral and emotional shifts that assist you in leading a more meaningful life. In doing so, he intends to create a space for you to be your most authentic self as you delve into the challenges you might be facing.

He specializes in treating multiple types of trauma, including relational, emotional, sexual, religious, vicarious, and complex trauma.

Hear from CJ:
"I understand both the world and each of my patients through a developmental, attachment, experience-based, and relationally informed, holistic lens. That lens becomes more straightforward and more defined through my intentional curiosity and openness to receiving and integrating conscious and unconscious feedback from my clients. I aim for therapy to be an authentic and collaborative space for us to make sense of each client's issues or struggles. Together, we can begin to understand how and where a particular difficulty comes from while also integrating and creating personalized strategies for each client to utilize to make meaningful, long-term changes. While my therapeutic approach has a relationally psychodynamic framework for conceptualization, my practice is integrative and interventionally personalized for each client.

My therapeutic style is welcoming, grounding, and curious. I aim for therapy to be a collaborative space for authentic exploration, which I approach from an open and curious stance. My clients are the experts of their own experiences, and it is my honor and duty to use my knowledge to assist them in unfolding, understanding, integrating, and blossoming into their authentic, functional selves. To assist my clients in this process, I often utilize personalized metaphors, analogies, reflection, and humor to support and challenge each client. My therapy style is often described as relieving, exciting, and insightful."
