I work with couples to manage distress and overwhelm within their relationship. With a balanced perspective, I empower partners to strengthen their connection and deepen intimacy. I am also passionate about supporting individuals through the challenges of the perinatal journey, such as prenatal anxiety, pregnancy loss, infertility and postpartum depression. I work with adults navigating the varied stages of life. Whether it's helping clients cope with trauma, process grief and loss, navigate chronic illness and pain, or address the shadows of depression and anxiety, I consider it a privilege to accompany clients on this journey.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is about finding balance—between accepting what’s out of our control and taking meaningful steps toward the life you want. Together, we’ll create a safe, judgment-free space where you can reconnect with yourself, process emotions, and move forward with confidence.

With such a fast pace of life, you may feel like you're standing still while everything seems to be zooming around and past you. You could be getting frustrated, going through the motions or drowning within a never ending list of “to-do’s”. This frustration could leave you feeling like everything is spinning out of control and it’s hard to make decisions. You might even find yourself questioning what you’ve done wrong, wondering how things got this way and why this is happening to you. You can calm the internal noise and build the confidence you need to feel in control of your own life. I know what it's like to overthink and doubt.

I have been working with marginalized populations and people struggling with addictions for over a decade. Clients who benefit the most from my approach are those who often feel outcasted by their environment, misunderstood in their relationships, or limited in their career. Throughout sessions, you will be better equipped to resolve conflicts within yourself and with others, and feel more confident, and free. I've been working mainly with Latinos(as) and African Americans, but anyone who is willing to explore themselves will benefit greatly from this work.

I have experience with multiple populations; from children, teens, couples, and families to the individual seeking therapy. As human beings, it is paramount that we feel seen and known. As a Latina, I also have a desire to provide resources for black and brown people who have felt barred from therapy due to stigma within these communities. I hope you allow me the opportunity to provide a space for you on your healing journey.

I am a bilingual and bi-cultural therapist who values the strength of a trusting and supportive therapeutic relationship. You might feel overwhelmed with finding a therapist if you are already feeling stuck. It can be hard to find someone to disclose your feelings to a "new person" during your time of vulnerability. My warm, empathetic, and non-directive approach has helped those new to therapy feel comfortable disclosing their most difficult emotions and experiences. My approach is collaborative, where I can guide you to find the right tools to feel in control of your life again.

My name is Jessica Amashta. I work with clients who experience anxiety, depression, and burnout related to work or school. I recognize that many factors may contribute to one's experience of mental health symptoms and am not going to apply a one-sized fits all approach to treatment. I value hearing about my clients' individual goals such as symptom reduction or living a more well-balanced life. Most recently, a lot of the clients I work with want to find a healthy balance between their stressful work lives and their personal lives.

It wasn’t always easy growing up or getting through my 20’s. I felt like the world was up against me and I couldn’t make any mistakes, especially as a young professional of color. I focused on trying to be “perfect” so that I could escape harsh judgment that I knew I’d receive anyway. Instead of experiencing triumph from my efforts, I ended up exhausted and burnt out. I soon discovered how my past affected me. Now, I guide others in discovering how parts of themselves and their past have led them to having similar experiences. I assist in showing clients that they can make mistakes to grow and gain life lessons.

Relationships are at the heart of our human experience, shaping who we are and how we see the world. They offer us connection, comfort, and growth, yet they also bring challenges that reveal our vulnerabilities. In navigating these highs and lows, relationships teach us resilience, empathy, and the strength that comes from being truly seen and understood. In our work together, my priority is to provide a safe, collaborative space where we can explore and accept all parts of ourselves and our relationships.
