Hey there, I'm Jared. Thank you for taking the time to look at my statement page. If you are looking for a counselor that is empirically-focused, strength-based, directive, and easy to talk to, I might be the kind of counselor you're looking for. My approach to counseling is a scientific-model led, client collaborated, personal relationship focused. We meet, talk about what you want to talk about, and I will be there for positive support, processing, and to teach about symptoms and interventions. Traits of clients that thrive best with me are curiosity, willingness/ desire to grow, and willingness to try new things.
I provide diagnosis, treatment planning, treatment, consultation, and supervision. As a certified sex therapist much of my work involves supporting clients around their sexual and erotic wellness, among other common goals such as addressing: grief/sadness, anxiety/stress, life-event stress/ trauma, executive dysfunction/ADHD, and LGBTQ+ affirmative therapies
On average people wait 10 years after symptoms become present to seek mental health counseling. I don't think anyone should have to suffer that long or figure out big problems all alone. I'm here because I want to help and received training specifically to learn to better help people overcome their challenges. Book an appointment today, I'm happy to help.

I met Jared at a previous job, and I'm really grateful for all of the support and expertise he provides to this field and to his clients! Creating safe spaces comes naturally to them, especially for under-represented and under-served communities.

Jared's education, lived experience, and authenticity make him an excellent and affirming referral for those within the kink and queer community. He actively works within his practice to be an affirming and safe space for BIPOC and LGBTQ+ folks.

Jared has an invaluable wealth of knowledge and responds to my endless questions with patience and compassion. I co-facilitated a therapy treatment group with Jared where I saw how he honored group members' personal experiences with frankness and levity.

An Eclectic therapist pulls from multiple models for best client fit. As a liberation-focused clinician I acknowledge the oppressive roots of the fields of healthcare and mental health that still impact the field today. I work with my clients navigate systems that were not developed for them to succeed because they define success by proximity/compliance to oppressive majorities.
