For the gap between where you are and what you know you’re capable of.
01 · About Jesse
You know what you’re capable of. Let’s close the gap.
Many of the people Jesse works with feel a disconnect between their current reality and the life they know they’re built for.
Whether it’s the weight of anxiety, navigating neurodivergence, or the identity shifts that come with parenthood, the end of an athletic career or a relationship at a turning point, it’s easy to feel stuck, overwhelmed and unsure of the next step.
Jesse sees therapy as a true collaborative partnership. You bring expertise in your own life, he brings his clinical training, and together you build practical mental tools and strategies tailored to your goals and values. There is no generic playbook, just focused, evidence-based work that moves you forward.

02 · The approach
Jesse’s approach to therapy
No generic playbook. Focused, evidence-based work that moves you forward.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Examining the stories your mind tells you under stress and testing them against what’s actually true, so you build thought habits that hold up under pressure. More on CBT
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Letting go of the fight with your inner experience, clarifying your values and taking committed action, even alongside difficult thoughts and feelings.
EMDR
An evidence-based way to process stuck or traumatic memories and reduce their emotional charge, often creating meaningful shifts in fewer sessions. More on EMDR
Solution-focused therapy and mindfulness
Building on what’s already working for efficient, forward-moving change, with mindfulness woven in to support regulation, presence and clarity.

Fifteen years as an NCAA, professional and international lacrosse athlete and coach shape how Jesse understands pressure, expectation and identity.

04 · A distinct perspective
What 15 years in the arena brings to the therapy room.
Jesse’s clinical work is shaped by his lived experience of high performance under pressure. As a former NCAA, professional and international lacrosse athlete, and later as a coach, he has navigated the identity demands of competitive sport, the psychological weight of performance expectations and the disorienting transition out of elite competition.
He understands the nuances of peak performance and the high-pressure environments his clients navigate, not just clinically, but from having lived them. That insight directly shapes how he works, whether you’re an athlete, a leader or a parent.
