Therapist

Hi, I’m Jay. I have over 10 years of experience helping people overcome mental health struggles. I specialize in helping people with anxiety, trauma, and depression. My goal is to help you achieve lasting, meaningful change so you can thrive. We’ll work together to understand your challenges and set empowering goals. We’ll create a tailored treatment plan that fits your lifestyle and unique challenges. My compassionate yet direct style allows for open sharing in a judgment-free space. I’ll be there with you each step of the way, providing support and accountability to help you reach your full potential. In our first sessions, we’ll explore your story, identify strengths, and map out goals for treatment. I’ll get to know you on a human level while gathering relevant information to customize your care. I work to create a warm, trusting environment where you can feel comfortable being your authentic self. I’ll assign personalized homework and gather your feedback to track progress and fine-tune your treatment plan. My approach draws from proven modalities like CBT, solution-focused brief therapy, as well as acceptance and commitment therapy. A diversity of tools allows me to be flexible and meet your needs. If you feel stuck in old patterns and are ready to build the life you want, let’s connect. Together, we’ll determine if my style and methods are a good fit for you and your goals. I look forward to supporting you on your journey to a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
