It's important to me that you feel seen and in control on your healing journey. I do this through a collaborative approach to exploring the feelings in your body as well as the thoughts in your mind.

Starting your personal counseling journey is never a decision of weakness, but instead it's one of great strength and bravery. You are deciding to face the issues, change the patterns, and break the unhealthy cycles in your life and in your family. That is an incredibly brave thing to do, but I do understand that it's scary to get started. My hope and desire is that you feel supported and empowered throughout this process. I hope to be able to provide tools, guidance, and support as you walk out your journey of healing.

We all have a story and some chapters tend to be more difficult to remember and understand than others. I assist others in processing through, coping with, and resolving the ways in which our life experiences are impacting our current state of functioning and well-being. Often times, finding our way feels impossible but my approach is to be a guiding light on your healing journey. Landing onto this page is your first step in a very brave, yet perhaps scary new beginning. My approach is practical and often direct, however driven with compassion and non-judgement. I often tailor my sessions with a bit of humor if appropriate. :)

Thank you for reaching out for help! I know how hard that first step can be. If you feel like this process is a little daunting, I am here to say, it is okay to feel that way, and I am here to make it all a little more manageable for you. Not only are you not alone, but you are also stronger than you know! Working through past traumas, current stressors, or future unknowns can seem overwhelming and exhausting before you even start. Just know, that your well-being in navigating all this big “stuff” is my number one priority.

Do you need more time to work on past trauma then an hour a week allows you? Do you have an amazing therapist but wish you could have the time/space to dig deeper into your suicidality, your religious trauma or parts of your trauma that are hard for others to hold? Are you looking for an out of the box form of therapy that supports your intense personality or busy lifestyle? Jess would love to consult with you about what a customized intensive could mean to you.

Many will enter therapy thinking, “What have I been doing wrong to get here?” I meet clients and think, “What have you been doing right to make it this far?” Yes, I think a bit backwards, but it’s what allows me to find innovative ways to help clients move forward using their strengths. Individuals, couples, and families who have previously felt stuck in complex issues with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief & loss, adoption, parenting, and relationships report finding relief through embracing their strengths and being reassured that their experience is valid. This helps tap into their innate ability to heal and renew balance.

Did you know that most people will seek an outside perspective for support at some point in their lives? Whether it be for symptoms of anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or past trauma - we all need a confidant who can listen, understand, and offer actionable solutions. What I hear most often from clients is that I offer a balance of creating a warm and comfortable environment, while also, challenging them in ways that make them motivated to create change in their lives. I believe this is key to success in therapy!

Does life seem like a struggle right now? Is it hard to get up in the morning? Do you have trouble turning off your brain so you can rest? When you make mistakes do you blame yourself? Do you wish you had a bestie to talk to and to help you make decisions about hard things? Do you want to achieve your goals and dreams but don't know what the first step is? Together we can figure out the hard stuff. It helps when you have someone with whom you can share your ups and downs. I have training in traditional talk therapies, trauma treatment, and meditation. I believe our work together will help you thrive!

I am a trauma-informed Certified Eating Disorder Specialist- Consultant. I use integrative, holistic and evidence-based practices to help those struggling with eating disorders, disordered eating and trauma. I focus on the integration of somatic, or body-centered therapies to help someone heal both in their mind, and in their body. I also offer equine based therapy to support this healing process. My hope is to help my clients experience change from the inside out. I also believe in facilitating a culturally sensitive space that rejects assumed beliefs about someone based on their size, shape, gender, race or ethnicity.

I believe that everyone deserves a space to tell their story with dignity and respect. I approach everyone I work with, with a trauma-informed, person-centered, and feminist-theory approach. That means I see you as the expert on your life and experiences, I will walk alongside you providing validation and tools along the way, and we will reference the systems/cultures that impact you. I like to work collaboratively to make sure that therapy works for the individual, and not the other way around.

I view therapy as a very special place where we can have conversations that might not always happen in other areas in our life. As a specialist in trauma, stress, and anxiety I am certified to use evidence-based interventions such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and the Flash Technique to support my clients in achieving their goals. I have held roles as a therapist, caseworker, trainer, and consultant supporting my clients in navigating challenges in the wilderness, crises, forensic, long-term residential, and outpatient settings.

I am the agent to hold stress and tension with you as we work together to move past self-preservation and into healing.

I work with all ages and stages of life.

I know firsthand how hard it can be to reach out. Not only can it be confusing even to know where to start, but it can be difficult to navigate finding the right person, not to mention it is an investment! I can appreciate what it takes, and I am here to help however I can in the process for you. While my personal beliefs are in the Christian faith, and I offer professional Christian counseling, I welcome all clients regardless of your beliefs or background. I would love for you to come as you are, to be seen and met as we move through the work together.

Anxiety, depression and self critical thoughts can take the joy from our lives and leave us feeling hopeless and alone. Our relationship with food may be unhealthy and we may feel suicidal or compelled to self harm. We want to move through the world with confidence while living a life of purpose but are overwhelmed and feel stuck. Goals go unmet, and our world becomes smaller as we resist challenges in our social life, school and career, out of fear and discomfort. We want to have more friends, do well in school and have a satisfying job or family life. We want to be happy and fulfilled.
