Primary Focus

About Me

As a psychoanalytically-oriented clinician who works from a depth perspective, my foremost aim is to develop an open, compassionate, and trusting relationship with you so that you feel free to share with me those issues that most burden you – those issues for which you need careful, caring and respectful attention. I have worked mostly with adults in individual, couples, and group psychotherapy who have struggled with anxiety, depression, panic, trauma (including childhood abuse and neglect), PTSD, and substance use issues. I’ve worked with and I am sensitive to the needs of people of diverse identities, and have also worked with artists struggling with creative issues, Veterans, and those living with severe chronic mental health needs. In our work together, by following your lead, we will work to increase our understanding of what most troubles you.

My Approach

We will approach core, possibly unconscious, roots of many issues that you carry and which contribute to distressing psychological symptoms, including self-defeating behaviors and relationship patterns or your reliance on maladaptive coping that is no longer useful to you but may have been key to your survival at earlier times in your life.

My aim is to help you free yourself from old behaviors, assumptions, and beliefs while renegotiating your relationship with yourself, with others, and with life itself. The goal is to enrich your capacity to be more present and effective, and to gain more satisfaction, fulfillment, support, and joy in love, work, and community.

Our work may include exploring past traumas, inhibitions, or ‘psychological ghosts’ that haunt your life and divert you from the course that might be more fulfilling to you, allowing you to reclaim your sense of wholeness. My work with you will be unique to you, and actually unique to us, but grounded in my training and continuing growth in the ever-evolving fields of mental health and psychoanalysis.

My Background

I am a Psychologist, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a member of the International Association for Psychoanalytic Self-Psychology, and a member at the Eastern Group Psychotherapy Society. I look forward to discovering our process together.

I’ve been seeing Jason for a couple years now and he’s truly helped me so much. As a QPOC in recovery it’s always been a bit challenging to find a provider, but Jason is thoughtful, mindful, and aware. Jason has worked with me throughout setbacks in my sobriety and has been a big part of my growth. I would absolutely recommend Jason to a loved one.

Jason is extremely patient and empathetic. I always felt seen and heard and validated, but never coddled. He gently challenged me when necessary balanced with words of encouragement. I would very much recommend him.

~ GM

I was feeling stuck in my career, depressed after a divorce, and angry at the world for passing me by. Jason helped me find the courage within myself to face some pretty dark stuff and take my life in a new direction, as well as find the strength to forgive myself and others. I feel more my true “self” than ever after working with him. He was patient, understanding, honest, and direct, which I really needed. Thank you, Jason!
