Relationships are at the core of what I believe matters in therapy and life. This serves as the foundation for my therapeutic style, and along with trauma, is the guiding tenet in what I have gone on to specialize in. I was initially trained as a generalist, which I believe has prepared me to work with a wide variety of presenting concerns. I find that every person who I work with comes with their own rich context full of complex experiences, identities, and a unique relationship with their mental health. It is my job to meet you right where you are with curiosity, respect, and humility. Go to Bridger-Counseling.com for more info!
Trauma is an emotional wrecking ball that demands that we adapt to protect ourselves. Unfortunately, this often requires that we constrict ourselves by trading our peace, trust, and secureness for safety and survival. Exploring trauma is vulnerable as hell! It courageously begins in our relationships, in our bodies, and in the narrative we are able to create
My name is John (he/him/his). Welcome to my page! When I am not in my therapist chair, you can likely find me with my partner, friends, and dog Sisu. You can also find me cooking, weightlifting, in the mountains, or watching super hero movies. I love humor and flirting with the line between deeply meaningful conversation and the deeply sarcastic bullshit
