About

Hello, I'm Jarod. Do you feel it's difficult to slow down and perhaps unable to fit it all in? Are you struggling to keep up with your relationships, work and health? Is it hard to be kind to yourself? I help people manage anxiety and avoid burnout. Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back to balance. We'll use a whole self approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit. I also integrate mindfulness, yoga/tai chi, and EMDR to help you develop a stronger relationship with yourself. Whether you're dealing with overwhelm, substance use or trauma, relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, or disconnection from your core needs and values, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel anxiety provoking of itself but you're making the right choice and I'm very good at helping my clients to feel at ease in the therapeutic relationship. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion, evidence-based techniques, and collaboration so you can overcome the hangups and habits holding you back. Let's work together!
