My approach to psychotherapy is empathic, collaborative and unique to each individual's own needs. I believe the most important component of therapy is establishing a genuine relational connection. I strive to create a therapeutic environment in which clients feel comfortable, respectful, supportive and understood in order to actively explore deep personal issues and experiment with new ways of thinking. I provide a unique psychotherapy to treat a wide variety of conditions including anxiety disorders, mood disorders, ADHD, LGBT issues, attachment issues, OCD, kleptomania and grief.

If you are experiencing challenges in your life, or struggling emotionally, do not wait until your suffering gets worse. Seeking help is a sign of inner strength and courage. My specialties are psychodynamic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis.

For over 19 years I helped individuals or couples on their different types of challenges, including relationship difficulties, career or school difficulties, anxiety and depression, trauma, loss, separation.

Welcome! If you have been searching for relief from isolation, loss, relationship issues, or trauma I can help navigate that path with you.

Are you Thriving or just surviving each day? Do you feel insecure or lost? Does it feel like anxiety has a life of its own?

If you relate to these questions, perhaps you are looking for a therapist to help you break free from the vicious cycle of anxiety and self-judgment. Maybe you are looking for someone who will support your work to build a true sense of self and a foundation you use to trust yourself.

Buddha's quote "The mind is everything. What you think you become", has always been at the center of my beliefs, both personally and professionally. Therefore, I view therapy as a tool that enables us to transcend beyond our previously adopted and perhaps less effective ways of coping with life's challenges, and begin to relearn new ways of dealing with challenges as they arise. This will in turn open up many new windows to self-awareness, ultimately bringing about personal growth and satisfaction both internally and within the context of our relationships, allowing us to live happier more fulfilled lives.

They say, "The first step in always the hardest". Although this is true in many circumstances, it is especially true when it comes to seeking therapy. It is not easy to come to terms with the idea of needing support through this phase in your life. It's even harder to face the idea that you will need to open up to a stranger and trust them with sides of yourself that you prefer to keep private. That said, I want to commend you on taking the first step and getting the process of finding the right therapist for you started. You've gotten through one of the harder parts of this journey! It would be an honor for me to accompany you on the rest of it...

Our experiences and environment shape us greatly. They define how we perceive the world, impact our relationships, and contribute to developing our strengths. Sometimes we start to see patterns in our lives that are not in alignment with what we expect or what we want for ourselves. Feelings of despair may emerge. People may feel overwhelmed, anxious, experience loss of pleasure, or perhaps and overall loss of meaning. If you have disturbing memories still impacting you today, if you feel anxious in certain situations or overwhelmed attempting to cope with the difficulties in your life, I may be able to assist.

Do you feel overwhelmed by the demands of life? Are you struggling with dissatisfaction in your career, family challenges, or the weight of various pressures? If you're experiencing anxiety, anger, or hopelessness, please know that you're not alone. As a woman who's been down that path, I understand the journey and am passionate about guiding you through it. I believe in your resilience and potential for growth. Together, we can navigate these obstacles, uncover your strengths, and create strategies for a more positive journey. You deserve compassionate support, understanding, and the tools to thrive.

My clients are the type to do things perfectly, yet their best never feels good enough. They often find themselves grappling with anxiety in trying to make the “right” decision in many aspects of their life. My clients also want the best for the world. They can easily care for others yet often forget to care for themselves. Life can feel daunting when you carry the weight of the world and push your needs aside. But it doesn't have to be this way. By working together, you can learn to let go of your inner critic and self doubt, and find a self outside of achievements and the expectations of others. Website: www.jessicavtherapy.com

To be 'human' is such a simple and yet such a deep and miraculous concept. Suffering is a natural part of human experience and emotional avoidance is one of the main causes of psychological problems. Avoiding negative emotions may bring you short term relief but in the long term it will end up with pain. When we accept a negative emotion, it tends to lose its destructive power. Therapy is a healing journey where the alliance between client and therapist plays an extremely important role in the process of acceptance.
