Clients that come to me for issues regarding their dissatisfaction with their progress on overcoming their challenges in life. Life issues range from traumatic experiences, LGBTQ issues, addictions & substance use disorders, spiritual problems, career problems, chronic illness, child & parenting issues as well as family imbalances. They want change and they want it with someone who can connect with them in real ways that help them know they are cared for, can be confident, and can overcome the challenges that confront them.
I offer down-to-earth insight-oriented therapy to help people become open to the possibilities that they have, identify the power within, and choose the connections/relationships that cause us all to grow and develop. In this way, I help people to heal holistically, spiritually, and developmentally as well as employ a positive wellness life.
If you are tired of life gone wild, then what time is it? It's time to call this counselor! Remember, there is a better way that you can be OK. So choose to be OK with Dr. J. because "You can always be OK with Dr. J"!
