Hi, my name is Jacob!
Do you find yourself confused about your actions or the emotions you feel? Do you want to find more clarify and freedom in your life? My approach to therapy is collaborative, empathetic, and nonjudgmental while learning to find healing. We are often held captive by the stories we tell ourselves. In our work we uncover the roots of these stories and replace them with new ones .
I am a Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern. I earned my B.A. in Business Administration with a minor in Philosophy from the University of Mary. I then went on to obtain my Master’s in Clinical mental Health Counseling from the University of Mary. During my internship, I learned how to use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Somatic Therapies to help clients in their therapeutic journeys.
I aim to create an environment for people to express their honest emotions in a way that makes them feel accepted. It takes a lot of courage to share our deepest wounds and shame. We all know the experience of sharing vulnerable parts of ourselves and feeling regretful for sharing. I work with individual adults, adolescents, and couples experiencing issues related to depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship distress, unwanted sexual behavior, and adjustment difficulties. Every person’s needs are different, so I use a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Somatic Therapy. Upon request, I can incorporate a Christian or Catholic perspective into the therapeutic relationship. Often times when working on ourselves deep questions come up about our relationship with God such as "is He good?" Or "why did He let this happen to me?" In my work, I have seen that engaging these questions with honesty and clarity bring about greater freedom.
I grew up in a small town in Minnesota and relocated to Tampa in 2025 to be build a life with my Fiancé. In my free time I enjoy thought-provoking movies (Christopher Nolan seems the best for these), board games, talking with friends, or playing volleyball.
