Hello, I'm Jarod. Do you feel it's difficult to slow down and perhaps unable to fit it all in? Are you struggling to keep up with your relationships, work and health? Is it hard to be kind to yourself? I help people manage anxiety and avoid burnout. Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back to balance. We'll use a whole self approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit. I also integrate mindfulness, yoga/tai chi, and EMDR to help you develop a stronger relationship with yourself. Whether you're dealing with overwhelm, substance use or trauma, relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, or disconnection from your core needs and values, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel anxiety provoking of itself but you're making the right choice and I'm very good at helping my clients to feel at ease in the therapeutic relationship. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion, evidence-based techniques, and collaboration so you can overcome the hangups and habits holding you back. Let's work together!
In a few words...hope, motivation, and an energy to move into healthier space with yourself. I'm interested in you feeling confident in your ability to utilize what we work on and comfortable knowing that you have a space to return to for adjusts, processing, or celebrating victories. I've had a great experience with clients over longer term therapy especially that can be of various levels of intensity....it's focused on what you need. Most of all you'll feel able to talk with me about anything that needs attention no matter how much work need to do with it or how much time. Through our changes and seasons in life we can maneuvering through most anything with a place to step back and assess, evaluate, and find clarity on our next direction.
I'm a certified EMDR therapist that uses an eclectic approach to fit with your needs. I'm a Spiritually Integrated Psychotherapist which is a focus of either your spiritual path or simply meaning and purpose that might underly problems or decisions. I'm a certified qigong and tai chi instructor so focus on use of the body and regulation of the nervous system as primary in dynamic care is of the utmost importance to me in my work. I take a curious and affirming approach that is goal oriented towards you feeling empowered for change in areas from daily habits to significant life shifts. I want to increasingly use nature and eco-therapy in my work so while I don't have a physical office, I'm open to talking about sessions outside if you would like to consider it.
I'm strongest in working with clients that are wanting to engage in a collaborative therapeutic relationship where you are the expert on your experience. I'm a recovered addict/alcoholic and the significant experience with attachment work and recovery oriented needs which is not limited to alcohol and drugs. This includes compulsive behaviors of all kinds to obsessive thinking and power dynamics in relationships. I focus on how to construct creative and dynamic solutions for problems given the many ways we as human beings have at our disposal to heal if we can just set the right conditions for it. I really enjoy neuroscience and what newer understanding about the nervous system and brain has to offer us for solution as well.
