AJ is here to provide the space needed to explore your inner self & what it means to be uniquely you. AJ is a LMSW with 5 years of experience in the field. They've worked with adults who struggle with trauma, depression, anxiety, & substance misuse. They've also worked in crisis intervention & harm reduction. AJ uses various clinical approaches, such as person-centered theory, strengths-based theory, acceptance & commitment theory (ACT), mindfulness-based theory, & somatic therapy.
AJ uses a trauma-informed lens to provide a safe environment for all emotions & experiences, aiding clients in finding their strengths & gently processing harmful thoughts/behaviors to live a life that feels true, respectful, & authentic. Healing is not a linear process, & having someone be present & gentle can help us feel safe enough to live bravely.
As a queer person with anxiety & depression, I understand how difficult it can be to navigate living in a way that is respectful & true to yourself in a world of constant change. My goal is to aid clients in finding what feels right in their bodies & using a combination of approaches unique to each individual.

Navigating Relationships with Addictive Parts
Navigating Relationships with Addictive Parts is a harm reduction support group for individuals struggling with substance misuse. Oftentimes the parts of ourselves that want to use are struggling to navigate big feelings and stressors. During the course of five sessions, we will discuss what harm reduction is, navigate how to cope with difficult feelings, and learn how to form relationships with the inner parts of ourselves using Internal Family Systems techniques.
