The whole person
Body, soul, relationships, habits, history, and hope all belong in the picture. We can look beneath the symptom without reducing you to it.

Catholic therapy with
compassion, honesty,
and a sense of humor.

A Catholic view of the person is wide enough for the whole story.
Faith and clinical care can share the same room.
For clients who want it, Catholic faith can be part of the work in a way that respects both the person’s beliefs and the practical realities of daily life.
Dignity before diagnosis
You do not have to perform, defend your faith, or clean up your story before beginning. Curiosity and respect come before certainty.
Meaning with movement
Insight matters, and so does a practical next step. Evidence-informed therapy can help you understand patterns and change what is keeping you stuck.
Faith at your pace
Faith can be named, explored, or simply understood as part of your life. The depth and shape of that conversation belongs to you.
A place to be heard, seen, and understood.
Therapy doesn’t have to feel clinical. It can be two people in a comfortable room, taking the time to understand what’s happening and figure out what comes next.
Faith is not a footnote.
My Catholic faith is the basis of how I understand human dignity, suffering, hope, and redemption. This photograph was taken after serving Mass for Pope Benedict XVI in St. Peter’s Basilica—a personal moment that reflects the seriousness of my faith, not a claim of endorsement or a substitute for clinical care.

Warm does not mean without direction.
Jake’s work is conversational and human, with enough structure to help therapy move somewhere useful. The approach can draw from EMDR, cognitive-behavioral strategies, solution-focused therapy, family systems work, and trauma-informed care as appropriate to the person in front of him.

“Jake is the therapist you didn't know you needed. He helped me through all kinds of things. I am not the same person, in the best way possible and it's because of the work we did together. If you need some who can listen, and give it to you straight you've found the right guy.”
