My passion and commitment to each clients' well-being; I am flexible along with creative in my efforts to assist in the client's needs.
Hello, please feel free to call me Jay! I am a counselor dedicated to helping people navigate life's transitions with a sense of calm and purpose. I hold an MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University, but my perspective is also shaped by a decade of service as a Firefighter EMT-B. Having worked in everything from emergency services and healthcare to the Walt Disney Company and local business management, I specialize in helping others navigate career transitions, school preparation, and life pivots. My diverse background allows me to meet you exactly where you are, no matter your professional or personal path.
Hello seeker. I have been a practicing therapist for over 16 years. As a military veteran myself, I understand the needs of military families. Counseling can be intimidating, so allow me to ease this process into your life routine. You will never regret it.
I am a former educator who specializes in anxiety/depression. I enjoy supporting clients working through stress, anxiety, depression, sleep concerns, and behavior regulation. I take a holistic, personalized approach and enjoy using technology and behavioral insights to support lasting growth.
I have a passion for helping others to help
themselves. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social
Worker. I'm bilingual. Fluent in both
English and Spanish. I have experience
working with children and adolescents in
mental health as well as adults and
geriatrics. I also have experience working
with individuals with intellectual and
developmental disabilities. I have worked
at inpatient and outpatient settings.
As a therapist, I'm naturally solution-focused, but I also know that lasting change doesn't happen by rushing past the hard stuff. I like to find a balance between processing and problem-solving. Sometimes that means helping clients unpack what's been weighing on them, make sense of their experiences, or connect the dots between past and present. Other times, it means rolling up our sleeves and figuring out what practical steps they can take to start feeling better and moving forward.
I don't believe therapy should be a place where you come in week after week and just talk without seeing any growth. At the same time, I don't believe in jumping straight to solutions before someone has had the opportunity to feel heard and understood. My goal is to help clients gain insight, build skills, and make meaningful changes while honoring where they are in the process.
I tend to be warm, down-to-earth, and genuine in my approach. I want clients to feel comfortable bringing their whole selves into the room—the messy parts, the uncertain parts, and the parts they're still trying to figure out. I believe some of the best work happens when people feel safe enough to be honest and supported enough to take risks.
Above all, I see therapy as a partnership. You are the expert on your life, and I'm here to help you make sense of what you're experiencing, recognize your strengths, and find a path forward that feels authentic and sustainable for you.
