- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Working with people is a passion and I look forward to using my clinical skills to help you move forward on your path in recovery.
My primary counseling focus is on person centered treatment and harm reduction. Counseling is focused on developing and reaching personal goals. In addition to overall mental health treatment, I work with individuals to create concrete goal plans with tangible action steps. This includes helping you with life and career changes by providing coaching style interventions for work/life-related growth. I provide focused interventions that help you accomplish the goals that are most important to your recovery. Honoring and supporting personal goals allows for new growth and increased knowledge. This therapeutic approach focuses on encouraging and assisting you to develop perseverance, become more flexible, and increase your self-worth through evidence based social work modalities
I look forward to speaking with you soon!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Listens and offers helpful tips. Very nice and responds.
Very positive experience. Jason listens well and acts in a professional and non-judgmental manner.
Jason has been an excellent therapist, and I feel like I've made significant progress working with him. I feel steadfast support from him and the right amount of encouragement to make changes and set goals to improve myself and my life. I highly recommend working with him.
Jason is great in helping navigate many aspects of my life. From childhood issues, to current business, personal and romantic life issues.
Awesome guy. Listens to me and makes great suggestions
I have been working with Jason for a few months now and I am very happy with the progress I am making. He is a great listener and provides concrete applicable advice. I am very surprised how quick he responds to messages, I really appreciate being able to message between weekly video sessions. I would strongly recommend him :)
Jason is a great listener. He has a lot of experience and expert advice on just about everything. I love it
Jason has been a great therapist for me; the best I've ever had, by far. He strikes the right balance.
Jason is great. He listens and seems to really care.
Jason has been very helpful to me trying to cope with my anxiety. He’s great at listening and understanding what I’m trying to say.
He’s been really great at just listening and offering advise. He’s very empathetic and a kind person.
Jason is the first therapist that actually was helpful for me. He does a great job on guiding me to find the answers. My insecurities and anxiety have been so much more manageable. Everyday I am heading towards my authentic self.
Jason is a GREAT therapist. He is patient, kind and knows exactly when to chime in. He is respectful of your time every session and is well versed in a variety of topics. He truly is the best of the best.
Jason has been amazing and comforting. I like his style and his comfortable masculinity. He’s approachable while still having firm boundaries.
Jason was very helpful in providing support for my problems, had a plethora of solutions. By no means am I 'out of the woods', but I am on the right path. I did find that Jason was hesitant/borderline unwilling to assist in finding the root cause of my problems which was something I was desperately seeking. But other than that he was awesome.
This has been my first experience of therapy, and it has been hugely impactful. Jason listened well, was empathetic and personable, and was able to reflect things back to me in a way that helped me see them from a different perspective. Can't recommend him enough.
Easy to talk to, and extremely helpful dealing with Chronic pain, anxiety, and depression would definitely recommend to anyone.
He’s easy to talk to and very professional. He does an excellent job of getting to the root of your issues through careful listening, relevant questions, and making sure that you tie it together with a path forward. I think his style would work well with a large cross-section of people.
He's been a great help even with the short amount of time we have had together with counseling.
I love Jason. This is my first time taking therapy and I’ve always told it would be the stereotypical stuff. But he truly listens and helps me challenge my own questions and thoughts. Very honest and supportive.
