DJ believes that as a therapist, they are joining with their patient and letting them lead the session. DJ is there to guide them and assist them when needed, but it is up to the patient to do the work towards recovery and relief. They are trained in several modalities including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Emotional Transformation Therapy (ETT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). They like facilitating groups and watching the group dynamics help each person in the group to gain something from the interactions. In one-to-one therapy, DJ can help guide a person to reach their goals and realize their potential.  

They first planned to pursue a career in school counseling and began a Master of Education degree program following undergraduate graduation. After meeting with their advisor, they added mental health counseling to their degree. And it was while working on an internship that they realized their passion and calling was in mental health treatment, and that was what they were meant to do.  

Their therapeutic approach aligns with Mindful Health Solutions, where patients have access to several different treatments and an integrated, comprehensive approach to finding relief and recovery from their struggles, whether through psychotherapy and different modalities or with medication assistance or an interventional treatment such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) or esketamine nasal spray.
