Hi there, I'm Jay!
I have 45 years of experience and I work with relationship issues, grief, anxiety, and stress. I understand the complexities of the corporate workplace very well. I am completely comfortable working with almost any lifestyle or sexual orientation.
My approach
I rely a lot on my intuition and our connection to co-discover with you what will best contribute to your healing. I bring 100% of myself to the sessions and will go the extra mile to help if I can.
My focus
Adults, couples, grief, workplace stress.
My communication style
I am open and willing to share things about my personal life if I feel they contribute to the therapeutic aims.
My journey to mental healthcare
I directed a couple of drug crisis centers and a suicide prevention center before completing my license.
My goals for you
Rather than list generalities, my goals are for you to achieve yours.
My first session with you
Most important in the first session is establishing trust and openness.
