Your relationships are falling apart, the past traumas feel more triggering, and your emotions are getting harder to manage. Welcome, I'm Jessie, and you're in the right place! Using IFS, EMDR, and Attachment Therapy, I help you heal from trauma, navigate painful family dynamics, and recognize the early attachment wounds that have been keeping you stuck in survival mode. I’ll challenge you, collaborate with you, and guide you with warmth, kindness (and sometimes even humor). Therapy with me is a real, authentic, human relationship.
Experience therapy from the comfort and privacy of your home. No traffic, no commuting. Offering online therapy to clients throughout California.
People often come to me when they feel trapped in cycles they can’t seem to shift. I help them connect with the parts of themselves that are flooding their systems. We learn to recognize the negative attachment patterns that keep resurfacing in your life, and we heal the past traumas so you can finally move forward.
You’re not too much. You’re not too broken. Ready for something different? Let’s begin.

I help adults heal from early attachment and relational wounds, manage the ongoing effects of C-PTSD, and work through childhood trauma rooted in harmful family dynamics.

I wholeheartedly endorse Jessie as I had the privilege of studying with her- where I witnessed her passion for the practice of psychotherapeutic work firsthand. Jessie has a deep wisdom and a rare balance of sharpness and gentleness to every interaction.

Jessie is smart, warm, and very present. She has a way of making you feel like you're the only person in the room. One thing that stands out is how naturally she uses your name in conversation-it's a small thing, but people feel seen.
