About Jason
I became a therapist because I wanted to become the person I needed. Growing up in an environment where I didn’t feel safe to express aspects of my identity as an LGBTQ individual, I understand the impact of invisibility and the struggles of stifling parts of yourself that long to be shared with the world. This experience fuels my passion for helping others live more fully and authentically by creating a space where they can safely uncover the parts they’ve hidden and begin to love and accept every part of who they are.
Most people arrive with a problem — anxiety, a relationship that keeps going sideways, or a low-grade sense that something is off. What often surfaces once we start is a question underneath it: Who am I, actually, and is the life I’m living mine? That question is what I work with. Identity isn’t a topic I add on for some clients; it’s the level I work at with all of them.
The work is experiential and relational rather than a set of coping skills. We slow down enough to notice what’s actually happening — in your body, in the room, between us — because that’s where old patterns show themselves and where they can change. I bring warmth and real curiosity to our sessions. I see therapy as a container to examine the timeline of our lives, gain insight into our past to inform what's currently happening, and build the capacity to step into the future we want.
I work with young adults figuring out who they’re becoming; men who were never given language for their inner lives; people who look successful from the outside and feel hollow inside; LGBTQ+ folks navigating identity, family, and belonging; and individuals navigating relationships, intimacy, and connection with their partners.
I hold a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a certificate in Sex Therapy from Antioch University. I’m currently in the Seattle Psychoanalytic Society and Institute’s two-year Contemporary Psychoanalytic Program. My work is grounded in psychodynamic, existential-humanistic, and attachment frameworks. I also incorporate CBT, DBT, and ACT when appropriate.
Outside of therapy, I’m usually near water, outside taking a walk and enjoying nature, in a bookstore, or at the theater.
