Hey there, thanks for stopping by.

I’m Jake, a Mental Health Counselor born and raised in rural Kansas, with a passion for building community and helping folks live a life where they can be happy, safe, and proud. In therapy with me, we’ll look not only at what’s not going well in your life, but also what is. In other words, what parts of your life make you feel happy, or content? If that question prompts a lot of answers, that’s great! We’ll have plenty to work with. If that question doesn’t bring with it a lot of answers, that’s okay too, because you can build that life of happiness and contentment, and I’ll work with you to help you on your way.

I use evidence-based theories such as Acceptance-Commitment Therapy and Strengths-Based Positive Psychology to explore not only what’s troubling you in life, but also the strengths and abilities that you already have to begin making a change. I also use elements of Existential Counseling to determine where you want to go in life, and how we can get there. For client's dealing with the lingering effects of trauma, I also provide EMDR therapy to help reprocess and move past traumatic experienced. As your counselor, I serve as an advocate for helping you make the changes that you want to see in your life. The process of therapy can be a daunting one, where even reaching out to a potential therapist can be difficult to do but I hope to walk this road together and make your life one that works for you.
