A Message from Jake:
With personal maturity comes a desire to be better version of ourselves. Some of us grow up in adverse environments filled with abuse, neglect or disapproval that do not cultivate the skills we need for a successful and fulfilling life. Other individuals have a seemingly well-adjusted upbringing but struggle to find emotional control, meaning or purpose within their lives for a variety of reasons. Others may have something happen along the way of their adult journey that may send them on an unexpected detour. It is my hope and commitment, that with the help of God I will be able to help cultivate a sense of healing, confidence, and direction in the lives of those who seek therapy.
