That’s why my work centers on honoring your lived experience and empowering you to reconnect with your body’s innate wisdom.

Hi, I’m Jes. Clients who work with me are often trying to understand themselves more deeply, build confidence, heal from trauma, or simply “learn how to people” in a world that can feel overwhelming.

Everyone experiences loss. Seldom do we allow ourselves to fully experience loss or it's impact. When someone dies, we change jobs, or even have a child, there is loss. When we choose to address these losses, past or present, we can begin to heal, and with healing comes unlimited possibility. I work with families/individuals/children and the impact family dynamics have on their lives; adoptees and their families as they deal their losses; bereaved individuals and groups after the death of a loved one; transitional loss and role adjustment included "empty nest"; corporate downsizing; career counseling; and relationship issues.
