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.

Acceptance and mindfulness-based interventions are critical interventions for both trauma and ADHD presentations.
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.

I also use mindfulness, breath work, and somatic practices for nervous system regulation.
Healing begins in the safety of a genuine relationship, one where you feel seen, heard, and understood. You already hold the wisdom and strength to create the life you want. My role is to walk beside you as a guide and partner, helping you uncover the clarity and confidence that already lives within you. Together, we’ll explore the stories and pressures that no longer serve you and begin to rebuild a life that feels authentic, empowered, and deeply connected. Working with couples and families will focus on the needs of the system. Sessions are designed to identify patterns and move toward deeper understanding of each other.

I see a variety of clients who present with various issues/concerns/upsets, who are in distress and need help to see them through. It can be difficult to trust someone with personal issues, but after taking that first step, my clients generally feel comfortable with me, are forthcoming, and begin to feel hopeful again. Length of treatment varies depending on needs/issues, and I see both short-term and long-term clients/patients.

I utilize a mind-body approach and specialize in mindfulness, focused attention techniques, and hypnosis, which are known to be very effective for stress-management, sleep difficulties and emotional disorders such as anxiety and depression.
With individuals, I focus on how stress and emotional reactivity manifest as bodily symptoms such as disordered sleep, attention deficits, mood/anxiety disorders, or relationship difficulties. In couples therapy, I utilize concepts of differentiation and comfort/growth cycle, and teach partners to learn to manage their own reactivity and anxieties.

Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists
How does mindfulness-based cognitive therapy work?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy originated in the work of John Kabat-Zinn of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. He developed mindfulness-based stress reduction, which is a technique found in yoga and meditation. MBCT is a combination of this type of stress reduction and cognitive behavioral therapy; it essentially quiets emotional distress through mindfulness, utilizing proper breathing and meditation. These techniques aim to bring the individual into the present moment when in a state of distress.
When do I know if I need treatment with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
If an individual’s mind is filled with emotional distress and general negativity, the person may feel trapped. A mindfulness-based cognitive therapist can help a person change their thinking patterns as well as their behavior through calm acceptance and compassion. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.
What should I expect from mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
This therapy often takes place in group sessions. A therapist will work with the group as well as with each individual. Meditation and breathing exercises are core practices that aim to invite inquiry and discovery into a person’s troubled mental state. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviors and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more realistic way. This therapy is supportive, accepting, and warm.
Is mindfulness-based cognitive therapy effective?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with major depressive disorder have benefitted from this type of therapy; the person accepts their distressed thoughts and also moves into healthier patterns of thinking. This therapy also aims to move an individual away from automatic negative responses. This type of therapy can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioral habits.
