Therapist Overview
Hi, I’m Jacob. I’m a traveler, a reader, an outoorsman and a plant collector. I’m a Therapist, a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer, and a Wilderness First Responder. In 2013 I graduated with an MSW from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. There, I obtained specialty certificates in Substance Abuse Counseling and School Social Work. I’ve aided middle schoolers, adolescents and people in their 20’s/30s to transition from angry and confused to calmer and empowered. My goal is to get real work done, but also have fun along the way. I’d like to think that I provide an alternative to young men struggling to connect with a therapist. I offer outdoor therapy, multi hour experiential activities, family therapy and parent coaching in addition to traditional one on one therapy sessions. I take my role as a mentor to teens and young adults seriously. I love what I do, and I believe that therapy can be beneficial for anyone, not just in times of crisis.
