What Makes My Approach Different?
My approach is different in that it extends beyond the confines of traditional counseling/ psychotherapy. Depending on the client, I like to use an integrative approach that combines talk therapy with things like EMDR, CBT, Health and Wellness Coaching, Mindfulness/Awareness, and Non-Religious Spirituality/Transpersonal. I feel that this can provide a much more holistic approach to wellness in mind, body, and spirit.
In addition, I offer a more modern approach that is more about genuine human connection, as opposed to one that is more cold and clinical. I view clients as fellow human beings, not “clinical cases”. I welcome all kinds of people and do not by any means automatically pathologize clients for being “different”. I am allied with communities such as LGBTQ, polyamorous, single by choice, asexual, sex workers, and open relationship, as just some examples.

Client Testimonials
“I worked with Eugene for several months, utilizing an Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP) approach in therapy. He helped me tremendously in combating my OCD and anxious thoughts, and he always cultivated a safe space during our sessions. Our conversations anchored me and helped me learn more about myself, and I am grateful to Eugene for this. I recommend him without reservation.”
