Hi there! I'm Jared, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Are you struggling to keep up with your day to day obligations? Have anxiety or depression taken the joy or intimacy from your relationships? Do you find yourself without the peace you need to fully enjoy the relationships in your life? It has been my privilege to help people from lots of backgrounds navigate these and many other challenges, and I believe that my approach can help you improve your quality of life as well. You are NOT alone, and it is a privilege for me to be here to support & empower you on your journey. I believe that you are the expert on your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, my goal is to create a space where the client feels like they can safely share the stressor or situation that brings them to therapy and what their goals for the work are. I do tend to ask more clarifying questions in the beginning as I'm learning more about your background, but beyond that I'm generally a believer of the philosophy that the client should be doing more talking than the client! :-)
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
For me, the cornerstones of the therapeutic relationship are genuineness, authenticity, and trust. We wear so many masks across so many settings that it can feel exhausting. I want the therapy room to be a place where you are comfortable enough not to be distracted by preconceptions that either of us may have about the process. I genuinely enjoy getting to know more about my clients, and I'm a big believer in the healing power of laughter.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
As a therapist, I have over twenty years of experience helping clients navigate a variety of issues - commonly mood disorders like depression or bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders (particularly social anxiety), and relationship difficulties of all kinds. I am deeply committed to supporting LGBTQ+ individuals and couples, first responders / healthcare workers, and professionals / executives.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT (and some of its variations, such as rational emotive behavior therapy) is the primary approach I take in work with most all clients to some extent. CBT teaches you to think about your thinking, and in that way to begin to understand the connections between thought, feeling, and action in ways that can begin to help you see new paths to change. CBT work is done with individuals, couples, families, and groups.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational interviewing is another approach that makes its way into much of my work with individuals in particular. The goal of motivational interviewing is to use an empathic approach to help clients confront motivations for their choices that may not be immediately apparent in a way that empowers the client to understand they have the power to change.
Strength-Based
As a social worker by background, I am trained to use a strengths-based, person-in-environment approach. Put simply - by the time most folks get to therapy, the weight of whatever is "wrong" can feel so suffocating that they ignore that SOME things are still "right!" The strengths-based approach helps redirect patients to start from existing strengths and build new skills from there, rather than to focus on the deficits they have.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Solution-focused work may be helpful for clients having difficulty adjusting to temporary or new circumstances in their lives - think "I lost my job and I'm panicking over how to move forward." The work tends to focus on specific problems and is more directive, helping the client to keep moving forward while their focus or motivation may be temporarily lacking.
