The modalities that I bring into session include interpersonal neurobiology, comprehensive resource method, mindfulness based modalities, internal family systems, cognitive behavioral techniques that are trauma informed, somatic experiencing and somatic informed therapeutic interventions.
If this has come your way, there is a part of you that recognizes it is time for a change. Whether that change is seeking clarity in some areas of your life or maybe it is wanting to work through complex emotions. It could possibly be working through a traumatic experience, challenging negative thinking patterns, or maybe it is learning new techniques to cope with difficult situations? Perhaps it is focused on personal growth? I am here to create a space that allows that process to naturally unfold. I will encourage your natural capacity towards health, while also removing the blocks, obstacles and painful patterns of suffering

I have explored a wide variety of approaches with a focus on somatic and experiential interventions for stress, pain, trauma, addiction and healing relationships.
In a therapeutic relationship, it’s about you. It’s about listening deeply. It’s about asking the right questions and holding space for precious silence. It’s about utilizing a diverse range of clinical skills and life experiences to assist you with what is happening in your life right now, and teaching you skills that will allow you to help yourself in the future. We cannot change the past or other people, but we can still grow and change and find ways to thrive.

I am working toward becoming certified in EMDR and Somatic Experiencing.
My goal is to help clients who have trauma, specifically medical trauma, manage their symptoms and learn how to navigate life again! I am most interested in helping people connect to their mind and body again, so they truly feel like they are living in their bodies and being present. Therapy is a collaborative process, so there is a level of trust that must go into each client and each session. My areas of interest as a counselor are trauma-focused, veterans, medical trauma, depression/anxiety, substance use, and sexual assault survivors.

My approach is a mix of narrative therapy, mindfulness, somatic practices, and polyvagal theory-based interventions.
Are you almost ready to give up the possibility that life could be better, that life does not have to be full of internal struggle? Do you want your self-talk to be one that lifts you up and focuses on savoring the positives in your life rather than tearing you down, focusing on the disappointments in your life? Would you want sadness, worries, or anger to not have undue influence on you and not control your life. If yes, it is time to make a choice and reach out to someone who can guide and support you to a better experience of life and a more preferred self.

Hi, my name is Jessica Gifford. I am a therapist at Capstone Connect, PLLC. Many individuals encounter trauma throughout their lives, and its lingering effects can be challenging to overcome alone. Coping with trauma and mental health concerns often creates a sense of overwhelming distress, making it difficult to discern where to begin seeking support or whom to trust.

Life's challenges can sometimes force us to shut down in order to keep going. In therapy, we look at your essential patterns of living and relating--main themes which may have begun in childhood or later. We will look at the ways you cope with and protect yourself in difficult circumstances and how effective they are. Research continues to show that the single most important element of successful therapy is the client's relationship to the therapist as a person, and with the methods of therapy. Another crucial element is the strength and courage you bring to the work.

That painful event keeps replaying over and over in your head. You can’t stop seeing the images of it. Thoughts of what you could have done differently play on repeat. They force their way into your mind, leaving you overwhelmed, panicked, and burnt out. The triggers are everywhere and anxiety and depression feel like they’re constantly looming over you. If you could just let it go maybe you could move on with your life. You no longer want to carry the weight of what happened but to enjoy the things you once loved.

My clients come into the office knowing one thing- they want a change. Often having an idea of exactly what it is that needs to change, and sometimes just knowing that 'it doesn't feel right'. I help my clients understand that each behavior is understood given the context that surrounds it. We will focus on the things that are not that obvious, perhaps it's the mere emotion that is motivating the behavior. Other times we might need to dig a little deeper. Together we work towards the same end goal: transformation.
