Hi! My name is Jay and through personalized treatment, I help individuals access authentic emotional awareness and guide them toward true healing,

I know that it takes courage and strength to look inwards and consider making a shift in any part of your life and I appreciate your willingness to do so, and it's important to know that you do not have to do it alone.

I am a licensed clinical social worker and therapist who has been providing mental health services directly to people for over 20 years. In addition, I was working in the mental health field for 3 years before earning my Masters's Degree in Social Work, making it 27 years in the profession of directly helping others. I have worked successfully with clients of all ages who presented with a wide range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, behavioral disorders, stress, ADHD, relationship issues, struggles with parenting, substance use and abuse, career and job issues as well as survivors of trauma such as abuse and neglect. My therapy style tends to be warm, supportive, flexible, relaxed and can easily be adaptable to whatever you feel is important to you. I treat everyone with the utmost respect and consider myself to be very compassionate towards others. My approach tends to be eclectic and is a blend of several styles, including cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, humanism, strengths-based and mindfulness, with unconditional support serving as the common foundation. I know that it takes courage and strength to look inwards and consider making a shift in any part of your life and I appreciate your willingness to do so, and it's important to know that you do not have to do it alone. I would welcome and greatly appreciate the opportunity to help you meet your specific needs and improve your life experience. I look forward to meeting and working with you!

Felt like I was talking to an old friend. Warm, caring, and authentic. Never done therapy and Jay made it feel very relaxed and easy.

I liked Jay as a therapist. Very accepting and easy to be vulnerable with. Validated my emotions and helped me reinforce the positive while sifting through the negative. Great guy.
