Intro
Hello and welcome! I'm excited that you are here and taking the first steps in your journey. My name is Jay and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker/Therapist located in California. I got into this field to help others through their mental health journey. Exercising our minds is just as important as moving our bodies. I enjoy the work that I do and love celebrating wins together with my clients.
I always knew I was different and knew I was meant to guide and help others in some type of service. I grew up in a world without understanding myself. I learned that I was not alone and realized I wanted to be able to guide, advocate, and listen to those who may not feel as though they have a voice or know where to start. I contribute my understanding of this world through mentors and therapist who “saw me” and taught me to understand that my brain is just wired differently. That is when I knew I wanted to help others understand their mind in a positive light. Our path may not always be straight but at least we will learn to flex a little positivity along the way.
I meet the client where they are at. I am strength based and solution focused. We will work together to develop goals and I encourage feedback from what works and does not work. I provide a safe and understanding space. I am gender affirming therapist.
