Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Jay, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist. I bring a grounded and compassionate presence to therapy and approach each person with honesty, curiosity, and care. I have over ten years of experience supporting individuals, children, adolescents, and families through grief, trauma, anxiety, and major life changes. My background includes work in crisis response, schools, hospice, and treatment programs. I aim to create a space where you feel understood and supported. If you are looking for a therapist who offers both warmth and straightforward support, I would be honored to work with you.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is relational, honest, and flexible, grounded in understanding your story, values, and goals. I draw from evidence-based practices like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, and mindfulness, but I tailor every session to fit the individual, not the model. I specialize in grief, trauma, anxiety, identity development, and life transitions, and I have extensive experience working with children, adolescents, families, and adults. Clients often describe feeling seen, supported, and challenged in meaningful ways. My goal is to help you make sense of what you are carrying and move toward a life that feels more whole and grounded.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect a space that feels safe, grounded, and real, where they can speak openly and explore what matters most without pressure to be anything other than honest. My goal is for you to feel supported, understood, and equipped to take meaningful steps forward. I focus on building insight, emotional resilience, and practical tools that fit your life and goals. Whether we are processing grief, working through trauma, or navigating stress, I offer a balance of reflection and strategy. Clients often leave sessions feeling more clear, more confident, and better able to face what life brings.
