Hi there, I'm Jared!

You want to feel like yourself again, confident, and like you can trust the people in your life. The way you've gone about trying to manage your stress isn’t working anymore and you’re ready for something new.

My focus

I specialize in men's issues, young men, and adolescent boys because I know what it’s like to struggle as a man, but more than anything, I know what it’s like to be on the other side of it too. Let me help you get there. While I specialize in men's issues, I see clients from a variety of backgrounds. I am here to help those that are in need.

My approach

The work I do with my clients is firmly rooted in the belief that change is not only possible, but it’s fundamental to who we are as humans. Where we get stuck is when we resist this change. I meet all of my clients exactly where they’re at and tailor my approach to your needs.

My communication style

I meet my clients from a collaborative, but direct approach. I am not afraid of digging into the issues that you face, but will ask permission first.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have 11 years experience as a nurse prior to becoming a therapist. I became a therapist as a duty to continue to help those in need.

My goals for you

As your therapist, I will get in the mud with you. We will help you walk out of the dark hole you find yourself in, and guide you toward the self you want to be. In this space, it’s safe to let out, yell, cry, or depressurize what is holding us up. Being authentic means taking healthy risks and shedding what doesn’t work anymore. I'm in.

Our first session

Our first session will be getting to know you from 30,000 feet. I will be looking into who you are, who are the people in your life, and what the factors that make you who you are. Despite that, I work to get into more of a communicative flow state, rather than an interview.
