“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change” - Carl Rogers

Doug seeks to build genuine connections where people feel safe, seen and respected. This is the space in which our natural wisdom is most accessible to us, and where our instinct towards healing and growth is most active.

We all face moments of pain and suffering in life. Though we can not escape this reality, we do have the ability to choose how to respond. We can use our challenges as opportunities to practice self-compassion, graceful acceptance, and committed action. Our struggles can serve as invitations to address present day challenges, or revisit and heal an old wound. Whatever distress you may be feeling, a meaningful, authentic, and connected life is possible, and Doug would be honored to work with you to chart a path forward.

Doug received his bachelors of science in Psychology from Northern Arizona University and his Masters of Social Work from UC Berkeley. His therapeutic style incorporates elements of Acceptance and Commitment therapy and Dialectical Behavioral skills. Doug believes in continuous growth and is excited to pursue EMDR training fall of 2024.

Doug works with adult clients only, and those struggling with depression and anxiety are good fits for his therapeutic style.

In his free time Doug enjoys reading and writing poetry, and spending time in the outdoors with his wife and two children. 

Doug will be joining our team and begin seeing clients July 2024.
