Come as you are! Just like the song says. I know how lonely and unrelenting life can feel sometimes. It’s so hard to take that leap and ask for help, but know that you’re not alone. I support people moving through the hardest moments of their lives, whether navigating big changes or processing anger, grief, or trauma. Together, we’ll notice patterns, clarify what matters to you, and explore identity, meaning, and self-worth—all while working toward realistic change that makes sense for your everyday life. I work with individuals, parents, and couples in-person in the Asheville area and virtually across North Carolina.

Most people with anxiety or depression don’t realize how their negative self-talk keeps them down and actually deepens their anxiety or depression. After working with me, my clients identify and reverse the effects of their negative self-talk, start feeling energized and motivated to do the things they used to enjoy, and are able to experience the simple joys of being alive again.

Hi there! I'm Jared and I recognize that managing life with or without mental health issues is hard enough & too many people feel alone in their struggles. My biggest focus is helping you not feel alone. The clients that need a warm therapist, want a deeper understanding of their problems, and want to actively change will find me a good fit. As a systemic therapist, I try to understand all the aspects of your life and how they impact your situation including how your unique identity (race, gender, culture, etc.) shapes your life. Originally from Idaho, I love the outdoors & potatoes almost as much as helping my clients.

I understand that exploring unfamiliar or uncomfortable parts of ourselves can feel daunting. During our sessions, I provide a supportive and nonjudgemental space where clients can safely examine patterns, behaviors, and experiences that may no longer be serving them. Together, this awareness becomes the foundation for developing new perspectives, healthier coping strategies, and lasting growth.

This work is not just my profession; it is one of my deepest passions. Long before becoming a therapist, I was fascinated by what helps relationships become places where people feel loved, valued, safe, and able to grow. I have spent years exploring what allows some relationships to grow stronger through adversity while others slowly drift apart. Today, that passion shapes both my clinical work and my doctoral studies at NC State, where I focus on relationship repair, trust, accountability, and the processes that help people heal after relational injury.

FAQ - About LDS Counseling
What can a Latter-day Saint (LDS) therapist help with?
LDS therapists are licensed mental health professionals who are familiar with the beliefs, values, and cultural context of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Therefore, like other licensed therapists, LDS therapists can help with concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, and family conflict. They may be especially helpful if you want to incorporate the role of family, church participation, prayer, and community expectations into therapy. An LDS therapist may also support you with concerns that intersect with faith, such as questions about identity or belonging, shame, sexuality, marital expectations, parenting, or navigating relationships.

How does being a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints affect therapy?
For many Latter-day Saints, faith is closely connected to emotional wellbeing, family life, and decision-making. A therapist who understands Latter-day Saint beliefs and culture may be better able to recognize why church involvement and practices feel central to your life. This shared understanding can help you feel more comfortable and less burdened by the need to explain your religious background. It may also strengthen the therapeutic alliance, which refers to the working relationship between you and your therapist and is tied to positive therapy outcomes. At the same time, you and your therapist do not need to share the same faith to work together effectively. Many therapists who are not Latter-day Saint can still provide culturally responsive care if they approach your beliefs with respect and humility, rather than making assumptions or dismissing the role of faith.

Can an LDS therapist help with marriage and couples counseling?
LDS therapy can include marriage counseling, couples counseling, and premarital counseling. For many couples, these sessions may include discussion of how shared beliefs shape the relationship, such as expectations around marriage, family life, church participation, and parenting. Therapy may also be helpful when partners have different views about faith; for example, one partner may be more active in church than the other, have different beliefs about gender roles or parenting, or be navigating their own questions about faith. Depending on your preferences as a couple, an LDS therapist may incorporate faith-informed reflection alongside other evidence-based relationship tools, such as communication skills, emotional regulation strategies, and conflict-resolution techniques.

How might I inquire about a therapist's experience working with LDS clients?
If faith is important to you in therapy, it can be helpful to ask a prospective therapist whether they have experience working with LDS clients. In initial conversations with potential therapists, you might ask questions such as, “Have you worked with clients who are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints?” or “How do you incorporate aspects of faith into therapy sessions?” As sessions begin, it can be helpful to notice how the therapist responds to your concerns. A good therapist should respond to your concerns with respect and cultural humility. If you feel dismissed, misunderstood, or find yourself having to explain your beliefs constantly, it may be worth considering another therapist.

Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of LDS therapists?
The directory of LDS therapists includes therapists who have shared their faith background in their profiles or therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with LDS clients or communities, regardless of their own background or religious affiliation. Not all therapists choose to disclose this information on their profile, and these individuals would not appear in search results for this reason.
