Meet Jessica

I believe in walking with individuals through their life experiences in a non-judgmental manner, especially those processing past traumas and issues to achieve a more fulfilling life. I believe that people are not a product of life circumstances; therefore, they do not need to live in a self-punishing manner. Gaining personal insight and personal growth is a strength that will manifest and multiply in relationships. Working with people is my passion, and I believe your past does not define your future. When you attend therapy, you get to be vulnerable and explore the fears and tough feelings you may not feel comfortable sharing with family and friends. In my clinical practice, I emphasize a psychodynamic approach to examine how your past and present influence your decision-making. I also use a relationship-based therapy approach with a strength-based frame to help you develop coping skills and protective factors against stressors and negative relationships. Your story matters; your pain and struggles are unique to you and your experiences. In my clinical practice, I emphasize self-reflection and personal growth. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. Together, we will find what benefits you.

I believe in walking with individuals through their life experiences in a non-judgmental manner.
