EMDR, somatic therapies, IFS, ACT, and nervous system regulation, matched to what's stuck in your system.
Something brought you here. Maybe it's flashbacks, nightmares, or a body that won't stop bracing. Maybe it's the relationship you keep repeating, the numbness you can't explain, or sexual wounds you've never told anyone about. Complex trauma doesn't just live in your memories; it's in your nervous system, your patterns, your body. I specialize in treating trauma at that level: the deep, stuck, somatic kind that talk therapy alone hasn't resolved. I work with a small, intentional caseload because this work requires real depth. If you need a specialist, not a generalist, you're in the right place.

When small disagreements turn into BIG arguments, expert guidance can help you break painful patterns—not just talk about them. I’ve helped 1,000s of couples stop repeating the same fights by learning simple communication tools (even when emotions run high). I work with couples navigating transitions, cultural differences, and evolving family dynamics. Don’t let defensiveness stand between you and your partner. NEW relationship skills grounded in attachment science and proven research are far more effective than rehashing the past. If you’re ready to get back on the same page... Email me to book a complimentary consultation call.

Do you ever worry that sexual challenges might be affecting your relationships? Maybe past trauma makes intimacy feel overwhelming, or you’re navigating questions about sexuality, kink, or non-monogamy. Maybe you’re struggling with desire, arousal, or orgasm. These challenges can feel isolating, but you don’t have to face them alone. Hi, I’m Trey, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida, and a queer, affirming therapist currently earning my Sex Therapy Certification through the Sexual Health Alliance. I work with individuals to explore intimacy, sexuality, and connection in ways that feel safe, authentic, and empowering.

My approach is compassionate, direct, and grounded in evidence-based therapies like EMDR, DBT, ACT, and trauma-focused work.
If you feel stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break—constantly criticizing yourself, feeling intense shame, or struggling to follow through on the changes you know you want—you’re not alone. You may find yourself caught between wanting to grow and feeling paralyzed by self-doubt, guilt, or fear. Maybe your relationship with food or your body feels overwhelming, or past experiences still shape how you see yourself and others. I specialize in working with individuals who struggle with a harsh inner critic, low self-worth, trauma, and patterns that feel difficult to change.

Waitlist for new clients
You may have been stuck many times in your life: in boring jobs, disrespectful bosses, ungrateful friends/family, in sick relationships, in your own lack of confidence, in concerns about your appearance, your intelligence, your body... feeling trapped, desperate, weak, confused. You've got used to it, it becomes routine. You may yearn for happiness and fulfillment, but you don't know how to get rid of that feeling, the guilt, the shame. Or maybe, sometimes you don't even realize that you're stuck at all, you just know that you've lost yourself. You may feel that you are too much, and at the same time, not enough.

My approach is through a good therapeutic relationship and a supportive space with CBT and ACT modalities (Cognitive Restructuring and Acceptance Commitment Therapy).
I treat people from all walks of life and I typically see Depression, Anxiety, and relationship issues in my practice. Also, financial stressors and more serious psychiatric issues such as Bipolar, OCD, and BPD. I am comfortable treating non-suicidal clients and older adults who are ready to help themselves in the process of self-development.

You’ve been doing everything “right,” and still feel off. You’re smart, self-aware, and incredibly successful from the outside — but on the inside? You’re overwhelmed, stuck in anxious thoughts, feeling disconnected in your relationships, and burned out from always pushing through in your career. You’re tired of carrying so much on your own, and ready for something to actually help. Therapy doesn’t have to feel clinical or cold. In my work, it’s collaborative, empowering, and deeply healing.

My ideal client is self-aware enough to know something’s off—but not sure what to do about it. They might be stuck in anxious loops, navigating a big life change, or repeating relationship patterns they don’t understand. Maybe they’re holding onto childhood baggage that’s sneaking into their adult life. They want peace of mind, emotional clarity, and stronger connections. Most of all, they want to understand why they are the way they are—and how to grow past it.
