In the realm of therapy, I walk alongside patients as they journey into their personal tapestry of coping skills. Some of these mechanisms are akin to life-saving buoys: adaptive and vital. Others, though deeply woven into their being, might be outdated relics of past struggles. With a blend of compassion and insight, I illuminate these patterns, fostering profound self-awareness and change.

Jacob is a wonderfully, relatable therapist. I find that he has a commons sense nature that has been lost in treatment. I would recommend Jacob as a therapist to consider when seeking a professional.

My primary approach to psychotherapy is deeply relational, centering on the profound connections we build and experience. Within this framework, I place a strong emphasis on trauma-focused interventions. This method acknowledges and addresses past traumas, ensuring that healing and understanding emerge from the very roots of one's experiences, forging a path to genuine and lasting transformation.
