Drawing from both East and West, the therapeutic approaches I use include nutritional therapy, neuropsychotherapy, EMDR, mindfulness, somatic, guided imagery, meditation, breathwork, and other tools such as therapeutic yoga for trauma, and Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT/ "Tapping").
On my own healing journey from childhood abuse and 4 time cancer survivor I bring layers of personal experience, formal education, and years of in-depth training in a variety of evidence-based mind-body-spirit approaches including herbs and nutrition to help clients heal gut and inflammation issues while we rewire the mind and learn new tools for moving forward. Allowing personal and spiritual growth to unfold mentally and physically.

As a therapist, I am known to be relational, even-keeled, and collaborative. My approach is dynamic and personable. I help clients attune to their needs, learn how to ground themselves when overwhelmed and overexerted, regain trust and confidence in their abilities, and find opportunities for more meaningful connections. For some, this involves specific skill-building, social coaching, exposure, or trauma work; for others, this involves simply holding the space to talk it out.

Jeff specializes in anxiety, OCD, depression, grief, addiction, life changes, Attachment difficulties & styles, ADHD, PTSD, and those times when we feel “stuck” in life.
Jeff came to Lifestance Health after working here as an Intern during his first year of graduate training. His journey to becoming a therapist came from having run addiction recovery groups as a volunteer for nearly 3 ½ years. There he found how much pain people live with, often while working hard to appear as though nothing is wrong. There is something so incredibly powerful about seeing someone being validated and heard. Before returning to Lifestance, he worked at Renaissance Ranch Treatment Center–helping those in the acute phase of addiction recovery.

I am passionate about working with relational and developmental trauma, life and identity transitions, spiritual growth and LDS faith exploration/transition and personal growth.
As we move through life, we learn to censor, silence and ignore our own voice - through trauma (large and small), unmet needs for connection & acceptance, and endless external expectations. This experience can separate us from our unique purpose, potential and wellbeing. The result: perpetual cycles of suffering, distress, relationship difficulties, anxiety and depression. I am passionate about helping individuals interrupt these pattern and build from their unique strengths and innate resilience - to heal and grow from difficulty and build lives filled with joy and passion and connection to your own self authority.

I enjoy working with clients who feel marginalized by society (especially the LGBTQ+ Community), those who have complex trauma histories, and clients seeking support with grief and loss.
While you are uniquely special, your struggles are more common than you think. We all have challenges, and often in very universal ways. It’s all part of the human experience. I believe in the power of processing feelings and experiences as a way of helping us make sense of them. It can be profoundly healing to have a safe space in which to be affirmed and productively challenged. Together we can explore issues related to ambivalence, shame, resilience, boundaries, connection, confidence, and self-development in order to help you fully show up in your life.
