Meet Jessica

Are you a young adult feeling unsettled about this stage in life- trying to manage it all while navigating anxiety, ADHD, or autism? Your struggles make sense and I’m here to help you discover new perspectives. I’m an LMFT and Registered Art Therapist who studied theatre and art at UC San Diego and attended drama school in London. I use a neurodiversity-affirming approach and integrate expressive arts with evidence-based interventions so you can tap into your own creativity, strengths, and inner wisdom. Let’s collaborate to rewrite old narratives and build the confidence and clarity for where you’re headed next.
