The therapeutic relationship is a very important part of therapy. Often times clients explore their relational attachments, bonds and experiences through their relationship with their therapist. I aim to provide a safe and comfortable environment. I believe everyone can achieve an optimum state of health. Often times humans do not change until facing a crisis, or having suffered. Together we can help you to learn more about who you are and how you relate to the world around you and what may need to change. We all need to be comfortable with change as “the only thing that is constant is change” (philosopher Heraclitus)

My goal as a therapist is to assist you on your journey of self-awareness and personal discovery. I like to take a here-and-now approach during therapy and I also believe that understanding your present and being able to be fully aware of your thoughts and actions in the moment will help unlock and uncover unresolved issues from your past. I strongly believe in the concept of subjective reality. I enjoy working with a wide variety of clientele and have a special interest in working with adolescent and young adult females, and individuals and couples in areas of sexual intimacy.

24 years experience. Licensed Professional Counselor and Level III Certified Alcohol/Drug Counselor. I am a solution-focused therapist working with clients to find relief for current presenting issues and long-term maintenance of their overall well-being. I have worked as an independent therapist, clinical supervisor, consultant, and treatment program administrator, resulting in treating a wide range of clients and issues. My goal is to provide realistic and practical solutions that have potential for immediate application/results.

Making the decision to go to a counselor/psychotherapist is a true act of courage. I honor you for taking this courageous step. I specialize in working with individuals struggling with all types of addictions ie alcohol,drugs,sex,food,gambling. I view addictions in a broader sense to include self defeating thought patterns, love/relationship addiction, hoarding, internet use, procrastination. Addictions are about avoiding pain and getting trapped in a repetitive cycle of thoughts and behaviors that result in more pain and regret. I provide my clients with a roadmap to follow as they seek to reclaim their self-esteem, integrity and joy.

I work with couples who are experiencing interpersonal distress associated with negative cycles of communication and disconnection. I utilize Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy to help build insight into the attachment issues underlying each other's reactivity within the cycle. In addition, I address attachment trauma utilizing EMDR, Brainspotting and Internal Family Systems, helping to build understanding and compassion within the relationship.

Life is difficult and complicated and we all need help at times when we get stuck. Getting unstuck is often short term work. Avoiding getting stuck over and over again is longer term work. Symptom versus problem resolution.

Jason believes that entering into counseling is one of the most courageous actions that any person, couple or family can take. He views therapy as a sacred process that requires honesty, presence, and vulnerability. He provides a warm, caring and relational style of counseling where you are free to be who you truly are, wholly accepted and genuinely cared for. He draws on attachment theory as the foundation of his work. Jason feels that both our wounds and our healing come through relationships. He has a special focus on serving couples, new dads, families, and men as well as clients struggling with anxiety and depression.

Life is full of ups, downs, and all the plateaus in between. I believe my role as a counselor is to walk alongside you during the moments of pain and self-doubt, as well as the moments of celebration and joy. You are the expert of your own life experience, but we can all use a little extra support from time to time...and that is where I come in. As a multiculturally competent counselor, I value building relationships with clients from all walks of life. My hope is to create a space of safety and warmth where you can express yourself and be who you truly are.

When we try to control or avoid anxiety, thoughts, memories, and difficult emotions it doesn't work. Troubling thoughts and memories keep intruding, depression worsens, panic attacks happen more, and urges to do troubling compulsions or rituals become stronger. In other situations avoiding and fixing problems is very effective, like fixing a flat tire or leaving town to avoid a hurricane. However, when we try this with our thoughts and feelings we get stuck, feel hopeless, and continue to suffer. This estranges us from the people, places, and activities that we cared about most.
