Maybe you've been holding a lot for a long time — managing work, relationships, and family while quietly wondering when it's your turn to just be. Whether you're an adult struggling with burnout, anxiety, or identity, or a couple caught in painful cycles of conflict or disconnection, you deserve a space where all of that gets to exist without judgment. I provide individual and couples therapy across California for LGBTQ+ folks, first-gen professionals, and anyone carrying expectations that were never fully theirs to begin with.
I offer individual and couples therapy for adults navigating anxiety, burnout, trauma, and identity — and partners struggling with conflict or emotional distance. Using a trauma-informed, attachment-based, and culturally responsive approach, we slow down, understand your patterns, and build the clarity and connection you deserve.
You don't have to have it all figured out to reach out. Whether you're navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship pain, or just a quiet sense that something needs to change — you're welcome here. I'd love to support you in feeling more like yourself and more connected to the life that matters to you. Let's figure this out together.

I've spent five years doing work I genuinely love — sitting with people in the hard stuff, helping them untangle old patterns and reconnect with themselves. That experience shapes how I show up for you.

If depression, trauma, or painful relationship patterns have made it hard to feel like yourself, you're in the right place. We'll go beneath the surface together — understanding what's underneath and building a way forward at your pace. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

Jessica has my highest recommendation. She is reflective, deeply attentive, and asks questions that open new insight. She helps clients connect dots they may not have seen before and supports lasting shifts rather than surface-level change.
