HELLO I’M TROY,
I work with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing anxiety, emotional regulation difficulties, relationship and family challenges, self-esteem concerns, trauma, depression, and life transitions. I aim to create a collaborative and nonjudgmental space where clients can better understand themselves, recognize patterns, and develop ways of responding that feel more consistent with the life and relationships they want.
I believe clients are the leaders of their own lives and should be active participants in therapy. I encourage clients to bring in the experiences, concerns, questions, and situations that feel important to them. My role is not to tell clients how to live or make decisions for them, but to help them slow things down, consider different perspectives, explore patterns, and identify choices that align with what matters to them.
My approach is relational, humanistic, strengths-based, and person-centered. I also draw from evidence-informed approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy while incorporating trauma-informed principles into my work. I have a particular interest in working with neurodivergent clients, including autistic individuals, as well as people navigating epilepsy or other chronic health conditions and the ways these experiences can affect identity, relationships, independence, and everyday life.
My background includes experience in crisis residential and school-based settings, where I worked with individuals facing a range of emotional, behavioral, interpersonal, and environmental stressors. Whether working with children, adolescents, or adults, I aim to bring curiosity, support, clinical perspective, and sometimes a challenge or two while helping clients better understand what is happening and decide what they want to do with that understanding.
