The Person Behind the Practice
Connection, understanding, and meaningful change.
Hi, I'm Jessica.
I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a passion for helping individuals better understand themselves, navigate life's challenges, and create meaningful change.
I believe that many of the patterns we experience today are shaped by our earlier relationships, experiences, and the stories we've come to believe about ourselves.
My approach is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and the belief that greater self-understanding can open the door to new possibilities.
I strive to create a therapeutic space where you feel heard, respected, and supported as you explore your experiences and discover new ways of moving forward.
What Guides My Work
I believe that meaningful change involves more than addressing symptoms. It includes understanding how our experiences shape us, recognizing the patterns that influence our lives, and developing greater freedom to respond in ways that reflect our values.
Professional Experience & Training
I bring more than nine years of clinical experience across a variety of settings, including individual psychotherapy, university counseling, behavioral health leadership, and clinical supervision.
Throughout my career, I've had the opportunity to work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, and significant life transitions. My experience in both direct clinical care and leadership has shaped my understanding of the complexities of mental health and the importance of approaching each person's experiences with curiosity, compassion, and thoughtful clinical care.
My professional development includes specialized training in complex trauma, Motivational Interviewing, the Community Resiliency Model (CRM), Life Space Crisis Intervention, and mental health and nutrition.
I remain committed to continued learning, integrating research-informed approaches, and deepening my understanding of the relationship between our experiences, emotions, relationships, and overall well-being.
Finding the Right Fit
The relationship between therapist and client is an important part of meaningful therapeutic work. I welcome the opportunity to answer your questions and explore whether my approach aligns with what you're looking for.
When You’re Ready to Begin
Meaningful change often begins with a conversation.
Finding the right therapist is an important part of the process. If my approach resonates with you, I welcome you to reach out with any questions or inquire about availability.
