I specialize in helping clients navigate depression, cope with loss, and manage anger effectively.

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.

First session

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.

Strengths

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.

Ideal clients

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.

Treatment methods

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.

I just finished my first session with Jayson. I felt safe and comfortable. I’m excited to keep working with him to develop a better understanding of myself and get a routine.

He was extremely intuitive about what I needed in order to be where I wanted to be mentally and emotionally. Touched in on only the things that were at hand and let me vent and explain my concerns and wants as well as gave solutions to what we were going to be working towards in our sessions in the short time we made acquaintance. I look forward to meeting with him and learning more about the tools he can help me utilize
