I feel that therapy shouldn't be scary or too formal, but instead easy like casual conversation. A session can be a fun, safe place where it's ok to laugh. There is sometimes a stigma surrounding therapy because of the idea that one must have something "wrong" to need therapy. Sometimes goals or ideas or feelings that seem like mountains to overcome or attain are most easily traversed by simply talking things out with someone who has an outside view of the situation. As a counselor, my ultimate goal is to assist every individual with becoming their own best advocates and working towards self-accountability.

If you're feeling emotionally exhausted, disconnected, or stuck in unhealthy patterns, you don't have to keep carrying the weight alone. Trauma, relationship struggles, and emotional wounds can leave you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself and others. Many of the women and couples I work with struggle with the effects of betrayal, emotional abuse, chronic conflict, people-pleasing, or past experiences that continue to impact their present lives. I provide a safe, supportive space where you can heal, gain insight, strengthen relationships, and can rediscover your confidence, voice, and your self-worth.

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, (1943), "The Theory of Human Motivation", reads: if a person’s basic needs (food, shelter, physical/mental safety) and social needs (love, belonging, self-worth, sense of purpose) are not fulfilled, that person will experience frustration and will “pivot” on a level of need that appears easiest to satisfy. Which level of need are you "stuck" on? Are you bound by anxious, fearful and mind-binding thoughts? Freedom is a goal that can be attained.

Could alcohol/drug use be a problem for you? Do you have a pattern of use that is consistent in some way? Have you tried to stop, only to find things are getting worse?

Life can feel overwhelming at times. Whether you’re navigating big changes, coping with loss, managing anxiety, or simply trying to keep up with daily stress, it’s easy to feel stuck or alone. In those moments, having a warm, nonjudgmental space to sort through your thoughts and emotions can make all the difference.
I enjoy working with individuals experiencing anxiety, stress, relational or peer issues, life transitions, and couples or marriage concerns. I also have experience supporting teens and hold a special interest in working with parents of children with special needs.

My name's Jessica and I work with neurodivergent women, especially moms, who in many ways, don't want to end up like their own mothers. They don't want to live life with anger, resentment, loneliness, martyrdom, or low self worth. They don't want to move from connection to connection without ever really feeling like they belong.
Many of my clients come to therapy carrying things no one should ever have to carry alone. They need help understanding their feelings, overcoming the negative self talk loop, reconnecting with their body, and finding joy and compassion for themselves and others despite their own curated chaos.

Whether you are a teen struggling with adjusting to a new school or changing peer relationships, a college student facing a ticking clock demanding you choose a major, a young professional dealing with navigating the change from youth to adulting, or even an individual dealing with divorce or relationship concerns, I can help.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
