Background and approach
Roger brings both professional knowledge and personal perspective to the work. His background includes long-term clinical practice with people facing post-traumatic stress, mood challenges, addiction, and complicated life transitions. He draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and patterns that get in the way of relationships and well-being.
Roger pays attention to cultural context and to issues like adoption, blended family concerns, veteran and first responder matters, and prejudice or discrimination. He also supports people navigating career stress, sleep troubles, intimacy concerns, and recovery after brain injury. Sessions may move between talking, problem-solving, and focused interventions to process distressing memories or rebuild trust.

Evidence-based techniques and flexible online care
Roger uses a small number of evidence-based approaches to address trauma and relationship difficulties. Cognitive Processing Therapy helps people identify unhelpful beliefs that keep distress alive and then work to change those patterns through guided discussion and homework. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing focuses on processing distressing memories so they have less hold over daily life and emotional reactions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and the person seeking help will discuss goals, past experiences with therapy, and what feels most doable. Together they adjust methods over time to match changing needs and what actually helps in weekly sessions.
Online work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video is useful for deep conversations and relational work, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, quick coaching, or ongoing reminders between sessions. These options support continuity of care and make it simpler to keep progress moving forward.
