(he/him)
Are you feeling overwhelmed by depression, grief, or anger? As a compassionate therapist, I am here to support you through life's challenges. I specialize in helping clients navigate depression, cope with loss, and manage anger effectively. Together, we will set realistic goals and identify your unique strengths to foster resilience and personal growth. My friendly, professional approach creates a safe space for you to explore your feelings and develop practical strategies. You don't have to face these difficulties alone; let's work together to find clarity, healing, and renewed hope on your journey toward well-being.
During the initial session, you can expect to discuss their reasons for seeking therapy, your goals, and what you hope to achieve through therapy. I am going to attempt to explore the issue that brought you to therapy, its history, and its influence on your life. I like the solution-focused approach, but acknowledge its limitations. This first session is also an opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have about the therapeutic process. The first session is about establishing a fit. I believe that it's difficult to be open with someone you don't trust. I try to build trust and relationships in the session.
Reaching out can feel scary, but you're not alone. I’m here to listen without judgment and help you navigate difficult emotions like depression, grief, or anger. Taking the first step is brave and can lead to healing and growth. Contact me today, and let’s begin your journey toward a brighter, more fulfilled life.
Therapy offers a safe space to explore your feelings, gain clarity, and develop coping strategies. It can help you understand yourself better, manage stress, and overcome challenges like sadness, anger, or loss.

Adlerian
I primarily use the adlerian approach as I feel it is difficult for a person to be honest and receptive to change if there is no congruence between the therapist and the patient. My approach is primarily driven and predicated upon a successful clinical relationship being developed within the first 2 sessions. Put simply, most people dont open up and be honest with themselves if they dont feel safe and like they can trust you.
Attachment-based
I beleive that many, if not all relationships utilize the fitness model. Early relationships impact future ones and an analysis of relationship dynamics tends to allow for the opportunity for personal insight into current relationship dynamics. Put simply, your relationships tend to be formed by how you did or did not interact with others previously.

Thank you Jayson for helping me be more honest with myself about what I want out of life.

The first session was just a lot of information exchanged, but I do feel comfortable in conversation and thought process.. i look forward to starting my day on our sessions in the early morning. Gives me time to reflect our session throughout the day.

Jayson was a great therapist and a solid supporter. He always heard me out on any concerns or thoughts and his feedback always felt warm but constructive without making me feel judged or dismissed. He was great in pointing me in the right direction to find other means of self improvement such as books or podcasts. Jayson has a way of connecting with the patient and being relatable as a person not just as a Professional. I strongly recommend him as therapist to anyone looking for help.
