Accepting new clients. Email is the best way to reach me. Thank you for stopping by my page! As someone who has been on both sides of the therapy couch, I understand how scary it can be to open up to a stranger about your life situation. It is for this reason that I am here to help. I believe in therapy, and the changes that are possible with the right provider.

Hi! I'm Jessie. I work with teens (16 and older) and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma-related issues, and relationship challenges. My approach is warm, nurturing, and collaborative. I believe therapy works best when it feels like a partnership, where you are respected as the expert on your own life, and where we work together at a pace that feels safe and empowering for you. My work is holistic and integrative. Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, I aim to understand the full picture of who you are- your experiences, relationships, values, and the patterns that may be shaping how you feel today.

High-achieving couples often look successful on the outside, yet privately feel disconnected, emotionally distant, or quietly unraveling. When betrayal, trauma, chronic conflict, or years of unresolved hurt enter a relationship, communication tools alone are not enough. I specialize in working with discerning couples who want specialized, research-driven therapy that restores trust, emotional safety, and lasting intimacy. Couples often come to me when they’ve tried everything and are ready for real, lasting change.

The process of initiating therapy can be scary. Trusting someone you don't know isn't always easy. The truth is that life is difficult. We have all experienced sadness, loss, fear, and loneliness. Therapy can help find clarity and strength. My experience is as diverse as those I serve such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, marital counseling, and PTSD. I enjoy my work and feel blessed to be a tool for God to help those who are hurting or in need of understanding. My greatest reward comes from empowering people with the confidence and tools to make a positive change.

I strive to provide a safe space for all clients to explore the issues bringing them to therapy and what underlies those issues. As a multicultural/relational therapist identities that are important to you provide a background for therapy (race, religion, culture, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, political affiliations, gender identity, gender, sex, ableness, etc.) as those identities make up who you are. Relationships and how you relate with others are also important. I treat anxiety, depression, grief/loss, phases of life issues, family issues, women's issues and men's issues. I am also a sex and gender specialist.

Visit my website for real-time availability and to request an appointment. Maybe you can’t do this anymore. You’re stronger than most have ever had to be, but inside you swing between anger and helpless shame, if you let yourself feel anything at all. You keep doing it over and over again—maybe drinking, drugs, sex, rage, self-harm—and you hate it...but on the other hand, hasn't it been more reliable than anything or anyone else? You ask into that inner darkness, "Why am I like this?" But all you get in reply is a desperation to leave it all behind, and then a familiar fear: maybe this is all I deserve or am ever going to get.
