There is nothing wrong with you! Life can be tough, especially when you don't have a space to be yourself or explore what that looks like. I believe everyone deserves to be seen, heard, & valued just as they are. My goal is to help you find your strengths, build resilience, & get to know yourself better so you can break down walls. I often work with individuals that have a history of abuse, struggle with anxiety or self-esteem, are neurodivergent, and/or have chronic medical issues. I use trauma-responsive approaches with each person, which include mindfulness, self-empowerment, problem solving, & a hefty dose of validation.

I believe every person is the author of their own story, and therapy is a protected space where healing and clarity can unfold without judgment. I walk alongside you as you process emotions, navigate trauma, and reconnect with your values. I support clients facing anxiety, depression, grief, relationship or family stress, trauma recovery, life transitions, identity shifts, self‑esteem concerns, and emotional regulation challenges. My approach is gentle, honest, and rooted in dignity and emotional safety.

My ideal clients are individuals or couples feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or navigating meaningful life changes. Some are coping with grief or loss, while others struggle with ADHD, executive functioning challenges, anxiety, or relationship stress. They may feel frustrated with patterns they can’t seem to shift or disconnected from themselves or their partner. They want clarity, emotional balance, and practical tools to move forward, improve relationships, and build a life that feels more aligned with their values.

Are you looking to make changes but don't know where to start? Are you feeling lost, overwhelmed, questioning your decisions or feel like you have no support? Have you gone through traumatic experiences that you realize are affecting you now? No matter what path you've been on, life events can be holding you hostage and you may not even know it.

Are anxiety, ADHD, trauma, or grief making it hard to feel like yourself or keep up with daily life? You may feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, stuck in overthinking, or unsure how to move forward. I work with adults navigating ADHD, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and grief who want practical support, emotional clarity, and tools to feel more grounded and in control.

Do you feel out of sync with yourself or your life right now? Maybe you miss how you used to feel or are tired of simply pushing through each day. I help individuals explore the thoughts, emotions, and experiences that may be holding them back. Together, we’ll work through current and past challenges, build self-understanding, and create meaningful change so you can feel more grounded, confident, and connected to yourself and others.

Are you the strong friend that nobody checks in on? You show up, get things done, and on the outside it looks like you have it together. But inside, it’s a different story. You feel heavy, and numb, and like you're just going through the motions. The sadness creeps in quietly, or maybe it hits you all at once. Either way, it’s exhausting. You feel stuck in patterns you don’t fully understand and weighed down by things from the past that still feel painfully close. Some days, it’s hard to even name what’s wrong. You just know you feel off, alone, and tired. If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

You are the expert on your own life — and after 30 years of walking alongside people through grief, trauma, identity, infertility, chronic illness, end-of-life concerns, and every kind of life transition, I've seen that truth proven again and again. Whatever you're carrying, you already have strengths worth building on. I offer a safe, affirming, and nonjudgmental space for individuals navigating the full complexity of what it means to be human — including some of life's most rarely named struggles.

Are you feeling stuck with the same old approach to talk therapy? Are you seeking a more sustainable, long‑term shift for your anxiety or OCD symptoms? Maybe you stepped away from therapy because, even though you felt heard, nothing seemed to change long-term. If you’re ready for a therapist who thinks outside the box—someone who will challenge you in meaningful ways while honoring your pace—you’re in the right place.

Not feeling like yourself lately? Therapy is a supportive space to understand your story & experiences, gain insight into patterns, beliefs, and protective
defenses that no longer serve you, and move toward meaningful change.
When anxiety, ADHD, trauma, depression or grief start to feel hard-you don’t have to go through it alone (ages 6 to elderly).
You may also be going through a tough time after a breakup, stress, infidelity, divorce, caregiving, burnout, alcohol abuse, infertility, or codependency. You might be struggling with attachment style issues, adoption issues, PTSD, life challenges or life transitions.

Adults face various stressors, including those related to career, education, personal, spiritual, emotional, behavioral, relational, familial, marital, parental, and judicial. The challenges of transitioning into adulthood, along with the multiple stages of maturity, can be taxing. Personal traumatic experiences or exposure to trauma impact everyone differently; however, society expects you to cope and proceed onward due to your responsibilities or obligations. In some cases, this is easier said than done.

“I want to quit but I keep ending up in the same place.”
You feel torn between who you want to be and what you keep doing. You’re exhausted from hiding, afraid of being fully known, and wondering if you’re failing as a husband, partner, or man.
Many men enter therapy stuck in compulsive sexual behaviors—carrying silence and shame that erode trust and connection. I’m Jake Tastad. I help men uncover what’s driving these patterns so real change can begin—rooted in insight, healing, and restored integrity, not willpower alone.

I work towards building genuine and trusting relationships with those I support above all else. I believe the relationship between client and provider is the true space for change. I invite humor, compassion, empowerment, and honesty into sessions as she helps others work through whatever challenges they may bring. I practice primarily from a trauma-focused, person-centered (it’s all about you and the gifts you already have) and systems (relationship dynamics) perspective, incorporating other therapy techniques as needed. Because of this, I would call myself an Eclectic Counselor above all else.
