THERAPY FOR SMART PEOPLE LIVING IN A WORLD ON FIRE.
Virtual therapy available in Colorado
It’s like the world’s a sinking ship and everyone around you is just sipping their coffee, blissfully tuned out. But not you.
Being smart may have gotten you through school, but now your mind’s racing, hungry for real change—in your life and the world around you.
You’re not alone. We’re here—the deep thinkers, the “crazy revolutionaries” who’ve been told to go touch grass more times than we can count.
But picture showing up as your unfiltered, authentic self—no fear of being “too much”.
I offer a results-driven approach—rooted in person-centered therapy, with doses of CBT, mindfulness, existentialism, and bits of ACT, Gestalt, schema, and memory reconsolidation. Every plan is crafted in real time and personalized to you.
My education, training, and lived experience shape how I guide revolutionaries toward their most fulfilling lives—because I live it: Queer, intellectually gifted, and all too familiar with the gauntlet of existing in a world that’s hostile to both.

“When I started working with Jacob, I didn’t realize the depths we would go. He helped me through a difficult part of my life. We were able to use metaphors that helped us understand each other from our different backgrounds. After working with Jacob, I felt more myself and okay taking up space. I’m truly grateful for the time that Jacob and I worked together, for it helped me tremendously.”

…FILL OUT THE FORM BELOW!
Limited spots available as I keep a small case load to ensure quality.
WHY BURN ONE MORE SECOND STUCK IN THE SAME LOOP OF…
→ Worrying you’ll always be misunderstood—or worse, come off as “crazy.”
→ Feeling like you’re the only person in the world (or in your circle) that gives a damn about the big issues going on in the world.
→ Feeling like you’re isolated in your own mental multiverse, processing at warp speed while everyone else is…buffering?
→ Catching yourself thinking, "Am I the only one seeing this?" or "Why am I like this?"
→ Fearing you’ll carry the weight of loneliness forever because no one seems to get you.
→ Trapped in your head, drowning in overanalysis, and spinning your wheels without getting anywhere.
SOME TOPICS WE’LL UNPACK IN SESSION …
-
→ Why failures of manhood are systemic and passed down like a sh*tty family heirloom. (Bottle it up. Feel nothing. Repeat.)
-
→ My approach to tapping into nature’s quiet indifference—nature doesn’t hit pause for the sh*t days—so we tap into that same unshaken resilience.
-
→ Reflecting on what it’s like to spend time with you, and are you happy with that current reality?
-
→ 4 questions to keep you from losing your sh*t when emotions and conversations get messy.
-
→ How to quit deciding how people see you—because assuming you’re a burden is just you invalidating their experience.
-
→ How to navigate being the one doing the work—while the people who need therapy the most in your life couldn’t be arsed to show up.
-
→ My no-bullsh*t guide to sorting out who and what in your life isn’t serving your growth right now. (Doesn’t mean forever, but some sh*t’s gotta go.)
-
→ Why therapy isn’t just deep revelations—it’s also venting, spilling the tea, and saying the things you never let yourself say. That matters too.
-
→ My top strategies for helping you own your best self, while I walk with you through the mess and the wins.
-
→ A dive into validity, soundness, and why they matter for your growth.
-
→ Why I believe we’re all stitched together by our experiences—and how owning that can change your life (and the world around you).
-
→ My take on the Socratic method, but for the overthinkers, deep divers, and question-askers who never stop at surface level.
-
→ Why you can only control so much of how people experience you—and why that’s actually freeing as f*ck.
-
→ The fact that: If someone twists your words or warps your truth after you’ve laid it out plain, that’s their problem to untangle—not yours.
-
→ How to drop the mask and actually show up as yourself. (Sans the performative bullsh*t we’ve all been programmed to do.)
-
→ How to attract the type of people you want in your life, and it starts with you.
MEET YOUR THERAPIST
HEY, I’M JACOB
