diagnoses, he has developed an effective, patient-centered approach to treating

psychiatric symptoms. Jake has a strong background in treating individuals

related concerns.

Approach/Style

My focused approach to psychiatric care utilizes compassionate, collaborative, and

patient-centered style of patient care. I believe every patient is unique and presents with

their own distinctive treatment needs when providing psychiatric care. I strive to create a

welcoming, non-judgmental environment where each person feels heard, respected,

and understood. I believe patients should be active participants in their care, and I work

alongside them to develop individualized treatment plans that align with their own

distinctive goals, values, and expected treatment outcomes.

I specialize in treatment of psychosis, anxiety, and depression. I completed my counseling degree at the University of Missouri in St. Louis in 2021 and am currently working towards a doctorate in psychology through Ponce Health Sciences University. I have worked for inpatient hospitals for two years and in private practice before that. Currently, I am working in a jail setting for competency restoration services.

I believe every person deserves to feel heard, understood, and supported. With more than 20 years of experience in the mental health field, I have had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families facing a wide range of challenges. I earned my Master's Degree in Community Counseling from Pittsburg State University and am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Missouri Associate Alcohol Drug Counselor II.

Throughout my career, I have worked in juvenile and adult justice systems, drug courts, schools, and community behavioral health settings. These experiences have given me a broad understanding of the many factors that influence emotional well-being and personal growth. I work with concerns including anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, anger management, substance use, relationship challenges, and adolescent behavioral issues. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel comfortable exploring their concerns and building a healthier, more fulfilling life.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri with over three years of experience helping individuals navigate and process traumatic events. I am passionate about supporting clients in growing and excelling amid life's challenges. I want everyone to grow and become a healthier, more balanced version of themselves.
