Hello, I'm Jessica, licensed somatic psychotherapist and certified psychedelic assisted therapist. My style is informed by de-colonial and trauma-informed practices that allow clients to shed euro-centric mindsets, safely return home to their body and move beyond pathology forward paradigms. Clients often find me after feeling burned out from community mental health systems or when they feel they've reached a plateau with their current therapist and are craving something a little deeper. As I hold space, I support clients to widen their capacity to listen and re-member what has always been present in their heart + body + soul.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or weighed down by anxiety, depression, or the impact of past trauma, you’re not alone. You may be moving through your days on autopilot — functioning, showing up, taking care of what needs to be done — yet inside there’s a heaviness, a loneliness, or a sense that something essential is missing. Many people who come here have spent years trying to hold everything together, often at the cost of their own well-being, rest, or sense of self.
And beneath all of that, there’s often a quiet hope — a sense that life could feel lighter, more connected, and more like your own.

I received my graduate education at Loyola University of New Orleans in 2010. Since then I have worked primarily in non-profits with clients transitioning into permanent housing after a period of being unhoused. Working in this setting gave me skills at crisis management, de-escalation and meeting people where they are. I believe everyone is capable of growth and of building the life they want, and that people grow best when met with warmth and compassion.

FAQ - About Adult Counseling
Why should adults see a therapist?
Adults may benefit from therapy for a wide range of reasons—whether it’s managing symptoms of a diagnosed mental health condition like anxiety or depression, navigating life transitions, coping with grief or trauma, or simply seeking support during a challenging life period. Many adults find that therapy helps them build healthier coping skills and better process their emotions, which may lead to better relationships and reduced stress. It’s important to note that, unlike psychiatrists or primary care physicians, therapists do not prescribe psychiatric medication. However, they will often work alongside prescribing clinicians to ensure coordinated care and can provide behavioral therapy as an important addition to psychiatric medication. Mental health concerns can look different in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence, so finding a therapist with expertise working with adult clients is important. Conditions like major depressive disorder (MDD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for instance, may present or resurface differently in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence. Adult-specific stressors, such as job strain, caregiving responsibilities, relationship challenges, financial stress, or identity transitions, can also influence the onset and type of symptoms an individual experiences. Adult-focused therapists, therefore, are trained to understand these complexities and tailor care accordingly.
How do I know if a therapist is the right fit for me?
When seeking care, it’s important to understand a therapist’s treatment specialties and their overall approach to treatment . Some therapists focus on common adult conditions like anxiety or depression, while others specialize in areas such as trauma, substance use disorders, or obsessive-compulsive disorder. It’s also important to consider a therapist’s training when seeking care. Therapists hold various licenses depending on their training and state requirements. Common therapy credentials include Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs), Licensed Mental Health Counselors (LMHCs), Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs), and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs). Psychologists (PhD or PsyD) receive additional doctoral-level training and may focus on assessments or more specialized therapeutic approaches. All of these professionals can provide talk therapy but do not prescribe medication. When searching for a therapist, consider their credentials and training background to ensure a good fit.
How do I find a therapist who sees adults?
Psychology Today’s online directory allows you to search specifically for therapists who work with adults. Each provider profile includes key information such as clinical specialties, therapeutic approaches, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees. Reviewing these details can help you determine whether a particular provider aligns with your needs and can indicate whether they are a good match for adult clients.
