To address historical stressors, Josh also uses relational and experiential reprocessing with Internal Family System informed care and builds mindfulness skills using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support clients on their healing journeys. Josh’s therapeutic style recognizes how the challenges of environmental and societal factors can worsen daily life stressors. He seeks to support marginalized individuals by building transferable skills and utilizing a relational lens to practice emotional exploration and reprocessing of traumatic experiences. Fundamentally, Josh believes in discovering the strengths of each individual and works to support each client by recognizing their lived experience and using that to face ongoing challenges and improve their daily lives. Josh is accepting new clients via telehealth and in person at the Penn Avenue location.
