Great to meet you!

Hi, I'm Jael. I support clients working through anxiety, stress, life transitions, and personal growth, as well as family issues, identity, ADHD, and anger management. I am passionate about helping people feel heard, supported, and empowered. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can be yourself and move toward meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is person centered, so we focus on what matters most to you and what you hope to gain from our work together. I believe treatment should be unique to each person’s situation. I tailor each session to fit your needs, using CBT, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, and Strength Based Therapy in a collaborative, supportive environment where you can build insight and work toward your goals.

What you can expect from me

During our first session, you can expect a relaxed and welcoming space where we begin building a foundation of trust. We will talk about your background, what brought you to counseling, and what you hope to gain from therapy. Together, we will start outlining your goals and what support looks like for you. When you feel ready, you can book a time through my calendar to schedule a session.
