Professional statement
In Derek’s personal journey to mental wellness, he noticed that it was challenging to find a therapist that felt safe, relatable and authentic. And he knows what it is like to be judged and misunderstood because of your identity and who you love. Using that, he will help you navigate your relationships, your past experiences, and the stresses of your daily life.
Derek’s approach is person-centered and emotionally-focused. Derek will work with you to identify your personal goals and explore a comprehensive way to reach those goals. Through this collaboration, you can expand your emotional intelligence to best support a healthy relationship with yourself and to establish meaningful and authentic relationships with others.
