With more than 12 years of experience, Jake is passionate about helping people live their best lives by working through life’s toughest challenges. His approach is all about building trust, offering empathy, and using evidence-backed methods to help clients unlock their potential and thrive in their everyday lives.

Jake specializes in working with clients who have experienced trauma—whether it's the big, capital “T” trauma, or the smaller “t” everyday variety. He also addresses the symptoms trauma can cause such as anxiety, depression, negative beliefs and low self-confidence.

Approach

Jake deeply values creating a safe, open space where clients feel free to express themselves without fear of judgment. He understands that many people carry heavy burdens and that sometimes, simply having the opportunity to speak openly can be incredibly freeing. Jake fosters an environment where clients can talk through their struggles, big or small, with the assurance that they are met with empathy, respect, and complete confidentiality. This supportive atmosphere allows clients to process difficult emotions, gain clarity, and take meaningful steps toward growth and change.

Trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Jake integrates this powerful, evidence-based method into his therapeutic work to help clients process trauma, overcome negative thinking patterns, and build resilience. Clients often describe EMDR as a transformative part of their healing journey. For more on EMDR, click here.
