Hi! I'm Jess. Thank you for the opportunity to be your psychotherapist! Have you been experiencing disconnection in relationships or with yourself? Are you saying yes when you want to say no, lay in bed at night with racing thoughts, feeling burned out, or are reminded of old traumatic events without warning? You do not have to stay stuck in survival mode! I will meet you where you are in your story, and move our work at a pace that feels best for you. I initially collaborate with clients to decrease overwhelming feelings of emotional and physical distress while increasing the ability to cope effectively.

When you are struggling, one of the most difficult things to do is ask for help. It takes courage, faith, and trust to reach out when life feels unmanageable or overwhelming. Yet taking that one step is often the very best thing you can do for yourself and those you love. I provide compassionate, competent counseling to teens and adults in individual, and family/group settings. I use individualized talk, play, and EMDR techniques to help clients set therapeutic goals and reach them.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I specialize in addressing the unique challenges faced by young adults and women. From dealing with trauma and anxiety to navigating life transitions and struggles with body image, I have the expertise to guide you through these complex issues. I believe in the power of empathy and genuine care, and I’m dedicated to helping you reconnect with your authentic self. Together, we can work on fostering self-compassion and breaking free from the shackles of perfectionism.

Life can be challenging filled with uncertainty and a feeling of confusion or even loss. However, together we can create a treatment plan that is personalized to your individual needs and goals. Giving you an empowering and positive outlook to create the life you want.

I work with a wide range of clients and concerns. Anxiety, depression, past trauma, relationship struggles, and behavior difficulties in teens and children are among a few of the common issues I treat. I have several years of experience with play therapy as well as therapy with adults and teens. I see each client and their experiences as unique to them with their own needs and strengths. I am very open minded and non-judgmental and really do care about each one of my clients. I consider the relationship I have with my clients to be central their success.

I have a passion to work with adults struggling with an addiction. Additionally, I find a strong connection in working with adolescents and helping them get through stages of their lives. Everyone struggles at times in their lives but getting through these challenges can largely depend on who is there with the person and I desire to be the person that walks through this journey with you.
