About Jason

I came to therapy through my own experience with recovery. For years, I participated in twelve-step communities and witnessed firsthand how people change when they feel truly seen, held accountable, and supported without judgment. That experience taught me that healing doesn't happen in isolation—it happens in relationship, in honest conversation, and in spaces where people can be vulnerable without fear of being dismissed or misunderstood.

My time in the military and living abroad for over a decade shaped how I see people and systems. I learned that cultural context matters, that identity is complex, and that what looks like dysfunction from the outside often makes perfect sense when you understand someone's story. I also learned that structure, discipline, and clear expectations aren't cold—they're often what people need most when everything else feels chaotic.

I specialize in couples and families because that's where the stakes feel highest. When a relationship is struggling, it affects everything: sleep, work, parenting, self-worth. I've sat with couples who thought they were done, and I've watched them rediscover each other when given the right tools and a safe enough space to be honest. That's what keeps me in this field—not the theory, but the moment when someone realizes they're not broken, just stuck, and that there's a way forward.
