About Us

Jacob has known he has dyslexia from a young age. Despite that, he decided it was a good idea to do many years of higher education, getting his masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and his doctorate in Counselor Education and Supervision. Jacob is also the author of the book Dyslexia Explained!
Jacob’s counseling practice focuses on serving clients with dyslexia and/or ADHD in managing their mental health. Jacob also runs a coaching practice focused on helping dyslexic individuals in better understanding their dyslexic brain, clarifying their goals, building strategies, and developing skills to navigate specific challenges.
When he’s not counseling or coaching, Jacob enjoys spending time with Kathy and their four kids, running, listening to books, and making social media content about dyslexia.

Kathy is not dyslexic, but she enjoys being married to someone who is (Jacob)!
She is a stay-at-home mom, and also helps with editing and posting content for Jacob’s social media accounts (and for the Our Typo Life podcast!)
Besides spending time with Jacob and their kids, she enjoys cooking, puzzles, and going for walks.
