While working as a dishwasher in Buffalo, NY, Jason heard about an ideal graduate program. Soon after, he was bound for Milledgeville, Georgia to earn his Master's Degree in Adventure Therapy. Yes, you read that correctly, it's a thing! Adventures ensued! There was his work at a residential treatment center, a hike of the Appalachian Trail, school based therapy in Boston, a unique cooking job in Cambridge, and a doctorate in Psychology focused on Narrative Therapies.
A series of meaningful coincidences and choices led Jason to meet his wife and finally move to Vermont, two lifelong dreams! In Vermont, he worked at the state's largest hospital, opened a local food company, mastered the art of bulk soup production, studied a Brazilian martial art, began teaching traditional food preservation classes, had two beautiful sons, began to use storytelling for change and joined a cooperative psychotherapy practice in downtown Burlington, VT.
Throughout all of these adventures and journeys, a number of themes and patterns have emerged in Jason's personal and professional life. He now carries "Connection, Curiosity, Compassion and Commitment" as inspirational values for every new adventure!
