I believe therapy works best when it centers on you—your experiences, needs, and goals. My approach is person-centered and rooted in cultural humility, seeing you as the expert on your own life while I walk alongside you as a guide. Together, we’ll navigate challenges, uncover strengths, and create space for meaningful growth. I work with adults on a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma (including racial trauma), grief, identity development, life transitions, relationship challenges, stress, and conflicts. I specialize in helping adults who have experienced trauma and significant loss, using a two-pronged approach that supports day-to-day functioning while also processing past experiences. I bring 13 years of experience in the mental health field and have been a licensed counselor for 7 years. I am trained and certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing, and I also incorporate Psychodynamic Theory and Trauma-Focused CBT into my practice. I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling from Northwestern University and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Neuroscience from Pennsylvania State University. My goal is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can heal, strengthen your emotional awareness, and build a deeper sense of self and personal freedom.

I earned a Master of Science degree in Clinical Counseling from Loyola University in Baltimore, Maryland. Additionally, I received a secondary Guidance Certification from Villanova University. I am a Nationally Board-Certified Counselor and have worked in a broad range of settings for over 28 years. I believe that the best clinical practice is an evidence-formed, eclectic model whereby the therapist adjusts to the needs of the client. I strive to provide clients with an opportunity to explore their inner selves, their relationships with others and their innate striving for wholeness, creativity, and well-being. Therapy can increase overall sense of well-being, build stronger coping and problem-solving skills, strengthen one's resiliency and determination, change behavior, and build stronger interpersonal relationships. The establishment of a trusting relationship between the client and therapist is of utmost importance to be able to work together to build a skill set to adapt and overcome life's most difficult challenges in order to create a fulfilling life. Regardless of a client's clinical needs, it is imperative to determine their support system and focus on the encouraging aspects of those relationships in helping the client become more resilient and set on a positive path in life.

Navigating relationships can be hard, can't it? Trying to figure out if you'd like to be in a relationship or questioning if you will ever marry or re-marry are thoughts that can be pervasive. Feeling satisfied and fulfilled in your season of singleness comes with its multitude of challenges. Making the decision to separate or divorce can be stressful. Life after separation, divorce or any relationship transition can initially appear to be overwhelming: family & friend transitions, co-parenting, career moves, and demographic changes just to name a few. You don't have to do it alone. You deserve therapeutic partnership to assist in making your best informed decisions in your life. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

Hi, I'm Jacob, and I'm excited to help you along your mental health journey! Over the years, I've had the privilege of working with a rich tapestry of individuals—college students, young adults, couples and families, people in a mid-career transition, those battling addiction, and immigrants seeking support. I am deeply committed to providing a safe haven for people of all ages within the LGBTQIA+ and polyamorous communities. My career in therapeutic practice has taken me through diverse settings and I've been fortunate to study and train in several countries, receiving my Masters in Social Work in the US and a Psychology degree in Spain. ~ Hablo español, Je parle français, Я говорю по-русски ~
