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.

You may feel a fight between your brain and your gut, because you know it’s wrong, but it just feels like you can’t do anything different.

You feel like your emotions control you, not the other way around.

Body Image Therapists
How does body image affect mental health?
Poor body image can influence mental health because it can reduce self-esteem and decrease functioning in other areas of one's life. Negative body image may hinder someone's ability to perform daily tasks, including professional and social responsibilities, because they may feel self-conscious or shame surrounding their appearance; a desire to change one's body as a result of negative body image can also trigger behaviors such as extreme dieting, excessive exercise, or obsessive social media comparison. Poor body image is associated with a number of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, and eating disorders, although many people experience negative body image even in the absence of meeting the diagnostic criteria for any mental health disorders.
What does it mean to have a positive body image?
Body image refers to how one internally perceives their appearance and internally "talks" to themself about their body. Positive body image is therefore indicative of a positive perception of one's self and positive internal self-talk that underscores one's strengths. People who have good body image often have higher self-esteem, self-worth, and self-confidence, and they also often recognize how external factors, such as social media or relationship patterns, can influence body image. While body image can change at different life stages and in response to various triggers, practicing self-acceptance and a body-positive mindset can help maintain a more stable sense of positive body image.
Is body image the same as self-esteem?
Body image and self-esteem are often related, but they are distinct concepts. Self-esteem is a broader term that can be shaped by a number of factors outside of body image, including one's functioning at school or in the workplace; it refers to one's capacity to handle various life challenges. Poor body image can be one way in which one's self-esteem is reduced. Reduced self-esteem as a result of poor body image can cause individuals to feel negative about their appearance, withdraw from social interactions, and/or rely on harmful behaviors as a coping mechanism. A "body positive" approach to body image therapy is therefore often used to encourage a more positive view of one's self and thus encourage better self-esteem.
What type of therapy is best to foster a positive body image?
The type of therapy best suited to improve body image depends on each person, as there is not a single therapy specific to body image improvement. That said, many individuals with poor body image benefit from therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based therapy. CBT can be used to help challenge distorted or negative thoughts about one's body, while ACT and mindfulness practices can facilitate a more positive body image through self-acceptance and identification of one's personal strengths. Regardless of treatment type, clients should look for body image therapists who encourage the development of a sense of self outside of their external appearance and help clients reduce unwanted behaviors developed as a result of poor self-esteem, such as dieting or disordered eating patterns.
