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.

Are you ready to feel better and make meaningful changes in your life? Many people reach a point where things feel heavy, confusing, or stuck—and seeking support is not weakness, but courage. Therapy is a collaborative process where you can safely explore thoughts, emotions, and patterns that may have gone unspoken for years. I emphasize creativity as a vital part of growth, helping you think flexibly, access new perspectives, and move beyond rigid patterns. I work with empathy, honesty, and respect, fostering a trusting relationship where insight and real change can emerge at a pace that feels right for you.

Life’s circumstances, experiences, and traumas can easily create burdens which feel insurmountable. The clients that I've helped have faced various challenges; expected and unexpected loss and grief, job loss, school and career shifts, incarceration, medical diagnoses, depression, eating disorders, overwhelming anxieties, escalating stress, personal transitions, and the need for healthier connections with others. Our bodies and minds are interconnected and at times one speaks louder or more clearly than the other emphasizing this disconnection. If this is the case, I offer a variety of techniques to reestablish connection.

Have you always felt something was “off,” even when life looked fine on the outside? Maybe you’ve seemed to have it together (capable, responsible, high-functioning) until suddenly you feel overwhelmed, on edge, or exhausted by trying to keep up. Perhaps you’ve fallen down a social-media rabbit hole and started noticing how much neurodivergent content resonates with you.
Getting clarity around what’s actually going on can be an incredibly empowering first step. Understanding your anxiety, trauma history, ADHD, or possible autism isn’t about labeling you, it’s about reducing overwhelm and building a life that truly fits you.

Secular and Non-Religious Therapists
What is a secular and non religious approach in therapy?
Secular or non-religious therapy is a theoretical orientation used by many therapists and describes a therapeutic approach that does not rely on any specific religious or faith-based beliefs in the therapeutic process. Secular counselors will often approach therapy with an emphasis on evidence-based practices, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients, instead of relying on religious practices, such as prayer or belief in God.
Is secular therapy primarily for non-religious people?
Both religious and non-religious individuals can benefit from secular therapy. People exploring their religious or spiritual beliefs may find it especially useful to work with a secular therapist who is unbiased toward any specific religion. While religious individuals might value the connection and familiarity of seeing a counselor who shares their beliefs, secular counseling can offer them the chance to develop coping skills independent of their religious practice, which can be beneficial in various aspects of their lives.
Can a secular approach to therapy help with religious trauma?
One major reason clients may seek a secular therapist is to process previous religious experiences, including religious trauma. Secular therapists can help clients manage symptoms of the trauma through practices such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). They can also encourage clients through talk therapy or psychodynamic approaches to explore the roots of their religious trauma. Since secular therapists do not have any predetermined religious beliefs, they can be particularly helpful for clients looking to explore their own religious beliefs following a history of religious trauma.
What does non religious marriage and premarital counseling involve?
Marriage and premarital counseling typically involves a couple meeting with a therapist to discuss topics such as planning for marriage, navigating a new marriage, addressing relationship challenges, and developing better communication and conflict resolution skills. Non-religious therapists assist couples in achieving these goals without adhering to specific religious beliefs or frameworks, often emphasizing inclusivity and non-judgment, especially for "nontraditional" couples. However, seeking couples therapy from a non-religious counselor does not mean religious topics are off-limits. In fact, non-religious couples from different religious backgrounds may benefit from a secular therapist who remains neutral toward the beliefs of each partner.
