Josh spent the first 20 years of his life in Texas, growing up in Austin before attending Rice University in Houston, where he studied English and Philosophy. After graduating, Josh spent 7 years in the Bay Area in California, working in a residential program at a high school dedicated to serving young members of historically marginalized communities. In that time, Josh discovered his passion for mental health support as a means of empowering individuals to advocate for themselves and their community. As a cis, male, Queer-identified clinician, Josh is particularly interested in working with other male and masculine-identifying individuals on navigating the world in ways that preserve their sense of their own masculine identities, while also acknowledging and working through the very real barriers and obstacles that many men and masculine folks face when it comes to being our best selves. Josh also specializes in working with Queer-identified adolescents and young adults in the exploration of various topics including gender and sexual identity, self-esteem, and developing positive coping mechanisms. In his work, Josh always strives to utilize a non-judgmental, strengths-based approach to cultivate a space where his clients feel accepted, celebrated, and empowered with the confidence to continue along their unique and precious paths towards self-actualization. In his free time, Josh enjoys playing video games, watching scary movies, participating in and hosting trivia nights, and tabletop gaming. Josh sees individual clients ages 13 and older, and also sees couples and families. His rate is $160/hr with an available sliding scale. Josh sees in-person clients in our University Place office and also offers telehealth sessions.
