ABOUT ME
Hello! My name is Chase and I’m a huge geek when it comes to all things TTRPGs and co-operative video games. There is a certain spark that happens when unfolding a story, collaboratively navigating and creating a world to explore, and sharing that experience with others that wish to grow in a similar space and build a sense of community. Every person has a story to tell, a lived experience that they hold onto and carry in their life. My passion is joining with a person surrounding their story along with their unique and varied interests, whether that be anime, video games, comics, super heroes, TV shows or movies, science, or anything else that may exist under our sun. I moved into the mental health field to provide a space where geeky, neurodivergent, and/or LGBTQIA+ individuals can feel comfortable to spread their arms out to be their authentic selves, visualize their world, and truly begin or continue to navigate it without judgment.
MY THERAPEUTIC APPROACH
In terms of therapeutic approach and modality, there are a few pieces I focus on. In terms of lens, lived experience is my focus and informs the therapeutic care I employ. Not only are your internal world and your interests important, the environmental and social dynamics and experiences you face play an important role on your wellness. I believe you are the expert in your own life, the narrator of your story. My goal is to walk beside you, aid in helping you find your authentic voice, assist in identifying your deeply-held values, flexibly navigate and attend to the world around you based on these values, and allow you to tell your story in the way that empowers you. Through a blend of evidenced-based practices (i.e., Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Narrative Therapy) and geek-centered approaches, your growth and healing journey will be curated to the path you are on or wish to traverse.
