About Roger
He favors a person-centered style that focuses on each individual's needs. That means sessions often start with the concerns that feel most urgent and then move toward skills and routines that make daily life easier. He blends strategies from cognitive behavioral work and acceptance-based methods to help people notice thoughts and act in ways that match their values.
Roger has worked in a variety of community mental health settings in Washington and brings 33 years of clinical experience to his practice. His training background includes work with emotion regulation and relational approaches, which he draws on when addressing mood, trauma, or relationship strain. He pays special attention to how attachment and early experiences shape current patterns.
He also supports people facing challenges with creativity, self-expression, and the barriers that block those pursuits. Sessions may include problem-solving for practical obstacles and steps to build confidence for risks around sharing work or taking new roles.
Roger works with a wide range of concerns including stress, addictions, grief, bipolar conditions, eating and sleeping issues, parenting strains, and compassion fatigue. He encourages a collaborative process that adjusts as needs change.
