āž• More about Jason

  • I also specialize in:

    • Emotional Regulation (particularly with individuals who experience heightened emotional reactivity, including those with ADHD, anxiety, or trauma histories)

    • Parenting and Family Dynamics (including working with parents to build healthier emotional responses and co-parenting strategies)

  • A fun fact that often surprises people is that Iā€™m fluent in Mandarin. I lived in Taiwan for 12 years, earned my undergraduate degree there, and taught Chinese as a second language. That experience shaped my cultural lens and deepened my connection to bilingual and bicultural families.
