Hi! I'm Jessica, a licensed individual, couples, and family therapist based in Austin, Texas. For the past 8 years, I've had the privilege of supporting clients from all walks of life in both agency and private practice settings. I specialize in working with children, teens, and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship stress, and identity transitions. In addition to traditional therapy, I have extensive experience as a crisis therapist, supporting individuals and families in their most vulnerable moments. I bring a calm, grounded presence to situations of acute stress, trauma, and emotional overwhelm.
My practice, Luna Encadenada Psychotherapy, reflects my ancestral roots and the values that guide my work. "Luna," my paternal grandmother's maiden name, evokes healing, cycles, and intuition. "Encadenada," derived from my maternal grandfather's surname, means linked or chained-symbolizing strength found in connection: to self, family, or something greater.
My practice embodies this blend: a space where you can reconnect with who you are, honor where you come from, and break free from patterns that no longer serve you. I believe laughter can be just as healing as tears and I'm here to support you every step of the way with a little humor, a lot of heart, and a grand belief in your incredible potential!
