Hi, I’m Jess. I am an EMDR therapist who often works with postpartum women, women's health, creatives, life transitions, trauma, & couples. We are living in difficult times, and it helps to have a space where you’re truly seen and connected. I’m glad you’re here. I am trauma-informed and bring grounding, humor, and somatic practices to therapy, creating room for both depth and lightness. I have a background in research and art and helping creatives navigate their work. I am LGBTQ+ affirming. Together, we will explore what’s unfolding for you and work together to help you move toward clarity, connection, and greater ease.
My approach is compassionate and evidence-based as well as client-centered and strengths-based. This means I seek to empower you as I walk alongside your healing journey as a guide. We utilize talk therapy, mindfulness, and EMDR as appropriate to your healing.
The most meaningful sessions are the ones where you leave feeling steadier, clearer, and with guidance you can bring into your daily life. Therapy can be more than a place to talk - it can help you understand what’s really happening, make sense of your patterns, and move forward with intention. If it feels right, please reach out for a free consultation.

Groups
Postpartum Community Support Circle
This postpartum support group provides a space for safe, confidential conversation with other parents 0-6 months. In a non-judgmental atmosphere, we come together and share what we are going through in order to heal and offer support. Topics of conversation include adjusting to life with a newborn, birth story processing, navigating postpartum emotions, going back to work, sleep issues, etc. This group provides an opportunity to usher in this new period of life, develop coping skills, and grow in confidence as a new parent.
