Hi, I’m Jessi! My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space where you feel comfortable exploring whatever brought you to therapy. Many of the challenges we face today are rooted in past relationships, environments, and experiences, and together we’ll work to understand those patterns while building tools for moving forward. I’ve had the privilege of working with people of all ages, backgrounds, faiths, lifestyles, and identities, and my clients often share that therapy with me feels easier and more comfortable than they expected. I believe in keeping the process positive, collaborative, and tailored to your needs

Children have a limited verbal ability to communicate how they think and feel about the world.
While play is the language of children, toys are their words. The therapeutic playroom is a safe, accepting, predictable environment where children learn self-control, emotional awareness, and problem solving skills. They develop increased confidence and self esteem, and learn to take responsibility for their own choices and behavior.
