About Jared

I help you get to the heart of your inner conflicts with questions like: What are the different parts of your personality? Why do you keep repeating the same patterns over and over? Why do you choose one emotional response over another? If you're experiencing addictive patterns (either to substances or behaviors), I can help you find autonomy even if you feel you're self-sabotaging. I am also adept at addressing men's issues, trauma, anxiety, and depression. Anyone who is committed to self-reflection will benefit from my non-pathologizing approach to emotional balance. I devote myself to easing a person into knowledge of their cognition, their character, and their life script so that they feel empowered to embrace themselves fully and edit their experience as they please. I have built a system of diagnostics that leads into health, rather than out of "illness." I support you in understanding the purpose of your pain. I know how many mental health appointments simply leave a person feeling that they have one more knot to undo, one more stuck point lingering. I offer you a new view of yourself that is based in holistic wisdom. You'll embrace the realities of your inner life from a place of resourcefulness and present-focused awareness.

How do you work with clients with anxiety?

"Anxiety" has a different flavor for different characters. Our personalities are (in part) built on what we think/feel is the worst possible outcome to life, like having no guidance, being useless, being trapped, or feeling unloved. In therapeutic conversation, we can befriend the parts of you that see to it that you don't directly encounter the feelings that come with these fears. Being in dialogue with the parts that protect you means finding an opportunity to give those parts what they need to stop working so hard. When you start to feel the underlying fears with the confidence that they aren't the end of the world, you can surrender the ways that you unconsciously prove to yourself that anxiety is necessary. Self-fulfilling prophecies like "No one will help me" or "I am going to fail" stop feeling so magnetic when you realize just how much you have sought to prove that these are likely outcomes.

How do you work with clients with addiction?

I start with an exploration of how a substance or process resonates with your personality. Delving into what "clicks" about an addiction lets us know about messages from your unconscious. For example, we might see that chronic use of alcohol is telling you that you feel insignificant, or that relapsing on heroin is an indication that you feel unsupported by the universe, or obsession with apocalyptic news reminds you see yourself as powerless. The suffering of addiction is really the mind-body's wise way of giving form to the anxieties that boil under the surface. Ultimately, we free ourselves from addictions when we become clear as to how social challenges associated with compulsive patterns are an opportunity to attend to unfinished business. The gift of a healed addiction is releasing the edginess of rebellion, the sadness of unrequited love, or the anger of unmet needs.

How does psychodynamic therapy work and how can it help?

Part of our culture's story is that everything is a result of "atoms clashing". We think of the pain in our life as due to random chance, events out of our control. Psychodynamic frameworks give us a set of tools to illuminate just how much power our unconscious fears/desires have in manifesting the realities of our lives. The therapeutic relationship is a safe container to acknowledge and embrace that we are the authors of everything that occurs in our personal experience. My brand of psychodynamic investigation focuses on loving all of the feelings that we engender through our unconscious intention. The result is surprisingly magical: we can move out of generating fearful, angering, saddening events and into effortlessly and intuitively crafting what our conscious minds say we want. Unifying unconscious and conscious desires leads us into a degree of autonomy that societal forces rarely acknowledge.
