Hello, I'm Jay.

Exploring relationships and how to build healthy ones (especially the relationship with oneself) is typically a top priority in our sessions. Also, identifying and developing your values will be an important aspect of our work together. I’m a generalist and enjoy working with adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, or relationship concerns. I'm confident we can find ways to create balance in your life and manage the ongoing stressors.

I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling disconnected or unsure how to move forward after loss, conflict, or change. Together we slow things down, make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and uncover patterns that shape how you think, feel, and relate. My goal is to help you move toward steadier, more connected, and more fulfilling ways of living and being with others.

Healing is a messy process-- it takes courage and grit, it requires internal resources and consistent support, it forces us to go backward before we can even think of moving forward in ways that would make us feel proud. Despite the difficulty, you know that what you need is not a band-aid. You need something more thorough. Something that will help you to not only deal with the pain of the things that have already happened, the things that have been done to you and the shame around choices you may have made, but you need to know that in the future you won't have to continue feeling this way as new choices and challenges emerge.

The struggle to manage all of our roles can be intense. Trying to meet expectations, stay healthy, and manage the emotional burden of the past and can be exhausting and challenging every day. Our inner critic may determine our moods, and social media and social comparison can leave us feeling like we're just not enough. In addition, anxiety and depression often keep us stuck in fretting over the past, or worrying that we won't be able to keep it together in the future. When we realize that we need to address the worries or hurts that plague us, therapy can take a lot of the pressure off by healing old wounds and building self-worth.

I work with young adult and middle age clients who face every day struggles with stress, anxiety, and unexpected life events of the past and present. You want to understand yourself better, learn from what challenges you, and align your emotional and rational self, so that you can live as the best version of you. This often means confronting the uncomfortable, discovering the unknown, and gently giving yourself the grace to work on yourself. It can mean exploring old stories, breaking old habits, creating healthy narratives, and overcoming roadblocks to allow for new actions that move you forward and bring calm & peace to your days.
