Hi, I’m Jake, 

I primarily work with individuals (12+), couples and families - supporting them on the road to finding peace and joy in their relationships. I am a trained EMDR therapist in which I provide therapy for client’s experiencing struggles related to trauma and intrusive thoughts.

I believe we were created for relationships. Relationships are powerful. They can both bring healing, wholeness and happiness and contribute to pain and stress in life. This is where I hope to help you. I actively work to provide an atmosphere where you feel accepted and understood and can be honest about the real struggles of life.

I have worked with adolescents for over a decade through Young Life, a youth outreach organization, and love helping teens and parents not only survive the challenging adolescent years but also to thrive in their relationships. I am also passionate about families and marriages and want to help you strengthen yours. Family dynamics can be difficult and so can marriages. I look forward to helping you navigate those difficulties to find the marriage and family life you hope for. I use a variety of therapy techniques including, but not limited to, Gottman, ACT, CBT, Emotion Focused Therapy, Structural Therapy.

Additionally, I have experience working with individuals dealing with grief, anxiety, depression, and many other life circumstances. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate in the state of Washington (MG61450061) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate in Arizona (LAMFT-10591). I received a graduate degree in Marriage and Family Therapy at Fuller Seminary. I am currently supervised by Dr. Bart Fowler, M.A. Psy.D., a licensed psychologist in Washington (PY60153263) and in Oregon (1297). My services are cash-pay only, with an application for fee reductions and scholarships available for anyone to apply.

I abide by Washington and Arizona state law and ethics pertaining to counselors and the American Counseling Association code of ethics.
