It's difficult to heal when we don't have the right words to describe our experiences and feelings. Jacob encourages this understanding through compassion, curiosity, and empowerment. His style is person-centered, relaxed, and direct. He works with adults and couples, and he's also passionate about assisting and advocating for the LGBTQIA+ community, being queer himself. He employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) techniques to identify distorted thinking, manage anxiety and depression, and move towards mindfulness and awareness.

     Jacob knew he needed to be a therapist when it came to him in a dream in high school. He began pursuing a Bachelor in Psychology from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville and deeply fell in love with therapy when he finally went to therapy himself in his senior year. He has 10 years of experience working with children with special needs in music and English as a Second Language; as well as 3 years of experience as a personal service worker for autistic individuals.
