Currently accepting daytime appointments only. Evenings are full. Life happens and change happens, whether we want it to or not, and sometimes we need some support and guidance to weather these changes. I act as a professional guide through those rough times. Through therapy, change can become an exciting, growth provoking process that creates stronger relationships. My motto has always been "Many roads lead to recovery". It is of utmost importance that all clients be educated, empowered, and make informed choices about the next step in their lives.

Not your typical therapist! I am an inner-work counselor providing you with useful tools to understand the deepest parts of yourself and how to heal yourself across time. I believe we all have the ability to heal once given the tools to do so. If you feel like you have tried everything and are ready for a true change in your life and within yourself, start here. I have a passion for helping others strive for internal authenticity while maintaining movement toward health and wholeness. An empathic, non-judgmental environment is a priority and I am committed to building a unique and trusting therapeutic relationship with each client.

My practice is centered around the belief that problems can over take us at any moment large or small; asking for help is not a display of weakness but a sign of strength. I am personable and straight forward with therapy clients. I view individuals from a family system perspective, understanding how an individual experiences their world is important in understanding how to help them locate strengths to move forward. I have worked with many people seeking help with career transitions, anxiety, depression, marriage difficulties, divorces, loss of a loved one and the grief that follows.

The way in which we cope with the world is greatly influenced by the way in which we see the world. Therapy can be a safe, non-judgmental space to explore opportunities for change, recognize our strengths, and navigate challenges in our lives. My role as a counselor is to advocate and provide support for clients who are seeking growth, change, and well-being in their lives. I enjoy working with children, adults, and families as they process and heal from trauma while learning more effective coping skills, healthier communication skills and boundaries, and working towards a happier and healthier version of themselves.

Are you struggling with addiction, trauma, loss, grief, or anxiety/panic? Are you using unhealthy or ineffective coping strategies to get through your day? You want to do better but you just aren't sure where to start? I can help. I specialize in working with adults and teens, who find themselves no longer able to cope with life's stressors on their own. Whether it is grief & loss, work stress, relationship issues, trauma, alcohol use, depression or anxiety, I can help you get your life and relationships back on track.

Have you/your loved one experienced a medical event or new diagnosis? Are you having a difficult time adjusting? It is common to experience both physical and emotional struggles following stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury, cancer diagnoses, dementia, and other illness onset. Often our roles within our family transition from caregiver to the one who needs to be cared for. Decreased independence and being more dependent on others often makes us feel like a burden. Fears related to these diagnoses can cause anxiety and depression. Role change may place stress on relationships and family dynamics.

An individual’s life journey can sometimes lead them to walk “through the woods” with difficult, frightening, and sometimes painful experiences that may impact their present and future thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and interactions. Human nature is meant to thrive in relationships with others and not in isolation, which is why these situations can, at times, feel daunting and stressful to navigate on their own. I aspire to be a safe, guiding presence during the personal and unique challenges that life presents. Whether processing traumatic experiences, relationships, or daily challenges, I am here to help you meet your goals!

We will discuss your thoughts and feelings and together will be able to create meaningful, positive change in your life. You should contact me if you are prepared to develop a deeper insight into your life. I offer free consults &, have weekend & after hours appointments available.

Choosing to seek outside support is not an easy step, but one that shows great courage and strength. We each carry our own experiences that are shaped by our families, our social and cultural identities, as well as our own internal values and goals. But let’s talk real for a second, being human in a perfectionist world is not an easy walk. Life experiences can bring challenges where we begin to feel disconnected from others, ourselves, and even from our experiences. I come from a perfectionistic background where my sense of grace was given to others, but not to myself. I understand the struggle of self-esteem issues, and depression.

Are you feeling dissatisfied, overwhelmed, and disgusting? You work hard and you are stressed and exhausted. You feel overwhelmed, anxious, angry, and sad. You work so hard to do what is right but something still feels off. The things you have tried to feel better just don't seem to be working. You are seeking help, support, guidance, and you want answers. You probably have it together, most of the time, and most people would say your life is not that bad. But what people don't know is you feel dissatisfied, overwhelmed, and not yourself. You are discontent and you are searching for a way to feel "good enough". It's not that you're unmotivated to make things better. Maybe you've done therapy in the past, or have tried yoga, dieting, and prayer. But you're not getting enough of what you need on your own, and you sense something better is possible.

Hey, most people call me Jess. I believe counseling is a mutual relationship. I view each person I see as the expert in their lives and I am in the passenger seat. My approach to counseling is holistic; every person is different, therefore every counseling approach does not work for everyone. I will take the time to work with you to find what works best for you. Since everyone is different; if a client and I do not mesh well, I will help them to find a counselor who works better for them.

You keep thinking that this is just a stage or a passing behavior your child is going through. You stay up late searching online for books, articles, or blog posts looking for something new to try because nothing you do is working to help your child. The meltdowns, temper tantrums, yelling and the power struggles in your home are not how you pictured family life. It's too much noise, too much stress and the chaos is draining your energy. This is not the adventure you signed up for or learned about in Parenting 101. It's time for change.

I am committed to helping men, women, and children learn how to cope with anxiety or depression, learn healthier communication skills and boundaries, process and heal from traumatic events, and build healthier relationships within marriages or family units. My work focuses on targeting ineffective behaviors, habits, and beliefs around decision making, as well as reconnecting with personal interests impacted by depression, trauma, and anxiety symptoms.

I am now accepting new clients, in office and via tele-health. I have been an LPC for over 25 years. I offer individual, couples, family and group counseling, including play therapy for younger children.

Congratulations on taking your first steps to get help for yourself or a loved one! Finding the right treatment and therapist fit are important parts of your healing journey.

I specialize in treating children’s mental health needs related to post-traumatic stress, behavioral challenges, anxiety disorders, ADHD, and parent-child relationship difficulties through individual, conjoint parent-child therapy, and parent consultation.

Being an amazing black female therapist means embracing diversity and promoting inclusivity. It means acknowledging the unique struggles that marginalized communities face and actively working to provide support, understanding, and healing. It means using my platform to advocate for equality, justice, and mental health awareness. My goal is to break down barriers and stigmas surrounding mental health within the black community and to provide accessible and culturally sensitive care.

I am passionate about bringing healing to all aspects of a person. I specialize in trauma, complex trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and depression. I take an eclectic approach in my counseling practice and use the techniques that work for each individual in order to bring harmony to all parts of a person’s internal system. Trauma causes deep and lasting effects on the survivor's thought processes, nervous system, and physical body. Behaviors and reactions of trauma survivors can be seemingly unpredictable, confusing, contradictory and lead to pathologizing diagnosis.
