About Troy
He balances clinical practice with teaching, serving as an instructor for SUDC students at CVTC. His background includes emergency work in an ER performing primary suicidal assessments, as well as inpatient and outpatient substance use treatment in both nonprofit and for-profit settings. He works with individuals and couples on issues related to mental health, adjustment, substance use, relationships, trauma, grief, and other life stressors.
Troy prioritizes understanding each person’s experience and building a strong working alliance. He emphasizes client empowerment and collaborative problem solving, and offers weekend and some evening hours to increase accessibility for those with busy schedules.
Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care
Troy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skill building and collaborative change. One approach emphasizes identifying and shifting unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning; this kind of skills-based work helps with anxiety, depression, sleep challenges, and stress management. Another approach centers on change-focused strategies for substance use and addictive behaviors, helping clients clarify goals, increase motivation, and develop concrete coping plans to support recovery. A trauma-informed perspective is also integrated when relevant, prioritizing stabilization, coping skills, and careful pacing for people recovering from traumatic experiences.
Finding the right combination of techniques is part of the therapeutic process. Troy works collaboratively with each person to tailor the approach to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as progress unfolds and circumstances change.
Online therapy options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit care into busy lives and to access support from home or work. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, allow continuity of care across life transitions, and let therapists and clients focus on the issues that matter most without geographic constraints.
