You might look like you’re holding it together on the outside, but inside you feel overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or weighed down by past experiences. Maybe relationships feel harder than they should, or old wounds keep showing up in new ways. You want clarity, emotional relief, and a stronger sense of self—not just coping, but real healing. I also work with individuals seeking immigration relief who need trauma-informed psychological evaluations that honor their resilience and lived experience. Reaching out for support takes courage—especially if you’ve spent years carrying everything alone.

Hello! Life can be difficult, confusing, or lonely these days and it can help to have someone to talk to. I am here to listen and help you figure out what you are feeling and wanting right now in your life, as well as how to get that. I am more humanistic and feeling oriented than formula or diagnosis based. With a background in psychodynamic therapy, I can also help you understand how or why your patterns may have developed. Plus, I schedule every session for a minimum of 60 minutes (not 50 or 55 min.), to provide the possibility of going a little longer than one hour whenever the client needs extra time

Many people struggle with difficult emotions through no fault of their own. For a variety of reasons, they may have never learned how to recognize, understand, or process their emotional experiences. Emotions can often be experienced like something that has to be endured like a roll coaster you didn’t ask to ride.
With over ten years of clinical experience, I draw from several evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Gestalt, Psychodynamic, and Emotion-Focused Therapy. My therapeutic style is collaborative, authentic, and compassionate.

My specialties include supporting adults through life transitions, relationship and family concerns, and trauma.
Are you living life on autopilot? Do you feel disconnected from your body, relationships, or sense of purpose? Are you fighting to stay afloat in a world that feels like it wasn’t made for you? You deserve an affirming space to explore your identities, relationships, and life's challenges in the context of greater systemic and social forces.

I believe that healing is not just a tool for inner transformation but also a catalyst for collective liberation.

Hello, I'm Jace. Since 2017, I've had the privilege of working in an international private practice, behavioral health hospital, and the juvenile justice system. These diverse experiences have shaped my approach to therapy, which is grounded in three core principles: feeling heard, taking control, and experiencing freedom.
Feeling heard is paramount in our sessions. I provide a nonjudgmental space where your story is heard and understood. Here, your feelings matter, and your fears, doubts, and uncertainties are welcome to be explored. It's about creating a safe environment where you can be your authentic self.

I work with individuals and families across the lifespan (pregnancy, infants, children, teens and adults).
When we are suffering, often the greatest antidote is someone to share our suffering with. Research in psychotherapy effectiveness shows that the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important factors predicting helpfulness of therapy. I see my role as providing a supportive therapeutic space to foster growth, healing, and healthy relationships. It takes great courage to face our human vulnerabilities and for each person the journey is unique. Regardless of your reason for entering therapy, our work will be informed by who you are, what you value, and where you want your life to go.

I have developed a passion for working with clients and families navigating illness.
Making the decision to begin counseling can be difficult and finding a therapist that is a good match can be equally overwhelming. I work to create a comfortable, safe, and supportive environment to make it easier to start the process. Everyone enters therapy at a different place, and I work to meet clients where they are. My approach is primarily relational because the quality of the client-therapist relationship can serve as the catalyst for change.
