My Background

Hi, my name is Roger and I’m an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist at Wave. I offer therapeutic services in-person and online through Telehealth. I offer services on the weekends and after-hours for those who cannot easily take time off during the week. My background is a bit unique. I grew up in Europe and underwent psychotherapy myself earlier in life. Having overcome trauma and anxiety through treatment has taught me the healing power of this process. Mental health is just as important as physical and spiritual health. We are whole and organic beings who seek a unison and balance within ourselves that allow us to live happy lives and to reach our goals. It is about you No matter where you feel you are in life, it’s never too late to work on your goals and to grow past what may hold you back. Therapy is “you-time”. It’s a space where you can be yourself, where your boundaries are respected and cultivated, where we can go at your unique pace. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, and depression work, among others. Having lived and worked in Asia, I learned a lot about mindfulness and meditation, which can also be blended with western therapeutic techniques. I’ll make sure to walk beside you and to meet you where you are at, as you embark on your healing journey. We can take it one step, one feeling at a time. I work with Individuals, couples, families, teens, children, seniors, the LGBTQ+ family, Veterans, and anyone open to go on their personal therapeutic journey.
