Nate is a therapist who values authenticity, and brings warmth, humor, honesty and
respect to the therapeutic relationship, helping clients navigate life struggles. Nate
views the client as the expert on their life and treatment. Clients can expect to be active
in collaboration, creating a safe space to explore difficult topics and make meaningful
change.
Nate’s approach draws inspiration from many outlooks, but is rooted in Cognitive
BehavioralTherapy, which emphasizes the relationship between thoughts, emotions,
and actions. Nate utilizes this outlook to work in tandem with clients to identify areas for
change, challenging negative core beliefs, thinking patterns, and behaviors. Nate also
incorporates aspects of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to help identify, validate, and
manage difficult emotions, increase interpersonal effectiveness, and utilize Mindfulness
skills. Nate has experience/training in Exposure Response Prevention, Behavioral
Activation, Mindfulness skills, and Collaborative Problem Solving, to help clients
address challenges, and live their best lives.
Nate specializes in Art Therapy, utilizing metaphor and symbolism to help clients
develop a deeper understanding of their own experience, and help empower
themselves to make positive change. Utilizing art materials, regardless of ability, can
help gain insight when words sometimes don’t do the trick.
Nate sees adults and teens, with a particular passion for supporting clients navigating
OCD and anxiety, depression and other mood disorders, trauma and stressor related
disorders, LGBTQ+ experiences, and adjusting to new life stages.
