Jason has worked alongside his clients as they deal with the complexities of life’s challenges, including attention and emotional or behavior issues in children, the struggles of identity and maturity of adolescence, and the myriad of issues facing adults, such as relationship and communication issues, addiction, anxiety, and depression.

If you are going through life changes, struggling with relationships, feeling stuck or tired, and wanting to make positive change in your life counseling is the path for you. I am living my best life when I am helping others achieve their goals and feeling inspired to live a fulfilled and meaningful life. For more than 20 years I have been helping children, adults, couples, and families make positive life changes.

Are you looking for a companion on your own journey of becoming? Are you experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, a significant life transition, identity and spiritual issues, or relationship issues?

I have been in practice for 30 years and having earned the Diplomate in Psychoanalysis, I have received the highest level of professional training available in psychotherapy. In addition to providing psychotherapy to children, adolescents, adults, and families, I also teach graduate school, supervise graduate students, and provide expert consultation to the local court systems and Officers of the Court. I also provide outreach services to the community in the form of workshops, contemplative retreats, and various online courses in psychology.

I am currently not taking clients after 2:30pm. I have been working with individuals, couples, children and families as a therapist since 2002. With a welcoming approach, I am able to offer fresh insights that can improve your relationships and behavior. I am able to help identify patterns, generate solutions, and minimize shame.

Over the years and after receiving thousands of initial calls and emails from clients, it is clear that many are unsure of what they need or where to go. We find great pleasure in helping clients navigate this process. As a group practice we are able to provide services for a variety of needs: anxiety, addictions, pain management, depression, relationship issues, psychological testing, individual, life transitions and even helping clients who just want to live their best life! We stand out in our efforts to make this process as smooth as possible. Many providers boast about their training in a particular treatment approach (and this is important) but research suggests that the interventions are only part of the story. The fit between client and clinician, the wellbeing of the clinician, the ease of access and the experience of the treatment process matter as much, and sometimes more, than the particular treatment model used. Pillars of Wellness was founded with the hope of ensuring an ideal client-clinician fit and providing both clients and clinicians with a positive experience. We let our clinicians excel at their craft by giving them the space to create their ideal practice.

We are here to help with relationship problems, family issues, anxiety, stress, grief, trauma, addiction, and other life concerns.

My ideal client is someone who feels stuck concerning their relationships, emotions, work, finances, health, or purpose. They are looking for an identity outside of parent or worker. They are feeling depressed and hopeless lately. They are the type that is generally anxious, worried, or on edge. Their goal may be to change their life, but they are not sure how. They may have tried a ton of different self-help, spiritual, or healing modalities on their own but had moments where they have started to think it's never going to happen for them. They need to break free of nonproductive cycles and poor choices to change their lives.

I treat a wide variety of issues including depression, mood disorders, relationship difficulties, adjustment challenges and life transitions. I entered into the field of counseling in order to enrich the daily lives of people, to help them develop more satisfying interpersonal relationships, assist them with the obstacles they face in life, and guide them toward making the changes they desire to accomplish their goals. I have diversified experience, working with people of all ages, from a variety of backgrounds and I currently treat a broad population of clients across the lifespan.

I use cutting edge interventions with often quick results. My training and focus is to help you dismantle faulty beliefs, discover your goals and values, and achieve personal growth, so that you can discover the freedom to live your best life. Therapy can be a powerful experience that can positively impact your life in various ways. Whether issues are social, couples, family, work, childhood, trauma, physical and/or emotional abuse, substance and/or alcohol use, anger, trust issues, adhd, academic, lack of motivation, anxiety or depression, therapy can be effective in helping you achieve your goals to live your best life!
