Professional statement

Jake’s style is client-centered, open, honest, affirming, and adaptable. Throughout the therapeutic process, Jake utilizes a strengths-based approach, consistently highlighting his clients’ skills, accomplishments, and progress, and encouraging his clients to give themselves credit for all that they do well. In his clinical practice, Jake incorporates insights and draws practices from various types of therapy that create space for clients to process their pain, develop new skills, highlight their strengths, challenge their thinking, explore their past, face their fears, be kinder to themselves, and work toward any other progress they’d like to see in their lives.

Jake aims to make sessions dynamic, productive, and focused on the changes his clients most want to see in their lives. Jake’s sessions are as complex, evolving, and unique as his clients. As an integrative therapist, Jake lets his clients’ needs, desires, and feedback dictate what strategies he employs.


Message to clients

I want to hear YOUR story, celebrate YOUR strengths, and work with you toward YOUR growth. Therapy, like life, is a journey. It can be a powerful space for reflection, venting, validation, meditation, skills practice, and personal growth, but, just like life, it’s not always easy. My goal is to be your ally. I want to make therapy as easy, as smooth, as supportive, and as helpful a process for you as I possibly can. No matter where you’re at in your journey, I’m here for you, and we’ll work together to keep moving forward.

We might explore new ways of coping with stress, celebrate your accomplishments, role play difficult conversations, practice breathing and body-based exercises, process painful experiences, explore helpful resources, make a written game plan for your next week, discuss the ins-and-outs of your sexual/romantic relationships, or laugh over a funny story you share with me.
