Jeff brings years of life and professional experience as a veteran of the Air Force, a Creative Director, Artist and Commercial Photographer.
Kids & Adolescents
Jeff loves helping kids & adolescents who find it challenging to talk through or verbalize their stressors. Using neuroscienctific, clinically-proven tools and techniques, he’s able to quickly connect and help identify ways they can improve their daily life, even if they struggle to talk about it.
He helps kids recalibrate, enhance focus, reduce stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms–to thrive.
His research focus is centered on neuro-informed treatment and technology integration in counseling. He is trained in several modalities including: Psychodynamic Theory, Neuro-informed Counseling, Biofeedback, Neurofeedback, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy.
Athletic & Academic performance
Jeff understands the pressures kids & adolescents face today for athletic & academic excellence. Often, this pressure is something they put on themselves! Whether your child is struggling to keep up or competing at an elite level–Jeff helps break negative cycles and regain control.
Sports, Athletics, Music, Arts and Academics all have one thing in common: Your mental state is a major factor that determines your outcome and success.
Research has shown elite athletes tend to be at a greater risk for depression and anxiety. This is extremely challenging for students, who have large time commitments and daily required tasks and deliverables. Jeff loves nothing more than helping stressed out kids break the chains of their stressors so they can enjoy their life and thrive.
Career Success & Pivots
Jeff will be the first to tell you, life and success does not follow a straight line. As a former successful artist, Commercial Photographer, Creative Director–Jeff has found a sensory exploration to help people reconnect with their true self. His work now as a counselor is anchored in his passion for art and human complexity.
As an artist, he learned the art of story telling by capturing one’s true essence of a person, light and energy to communicate with the world. Understanding the relationships between those components, and nuances of sensory complexity, has equipped him with the ability to help others create their story to tell–whether in interviews, job applications, promotions, or career changes. Jeff truly understands what a wild adventure we’re all on!
Biofeedback & Holistic Approach
Biofeedback is an alternative medicine approach that teaches people to change the way their bodies function. It is a mind-body therapy that may improve your physical and mental health. Biofeedback promotes relaxation, which can help relieve a number of conditions that are related to stress. Using biofeedback, you’ll be able to use tools to notice stress responses in your body through to help gain control and find relaxation to enhance your performance and wellbeing.
Jeff holds a Clinical Mental Health Counseling degree from Northwestern University and is embarking on his doctoral training in Counseling Education and Supervision, starting in Fall 2023. He specializes in the application of neuro-informed treatments. He takes an approach that is informed by science, biological response, and assisted by psychoeducation. Grounded in the belief that we were crafted with a natural capacity to move from a state of frustration to appreciation, he aims to utilize a holistic approach to therapy (full mind, body, and spirit integration).
Humanitarian passion
Jeff grew up in the midwest and has traveled extensively, lived on the east coast and west coast, as well as Europe. Returning this year to the greater Chicago area, he is inspired to serve the communities that raised him. Jeff is a veteran of the Air Force, a Photographer and Creative Director, and may be found supporting humanitarian missions around the world with documentation services.
