New to Grow
Hi, I'm Jess! My background is primarily in grief, anxiety, life transitions, and emergency psychiatry. I have been able to assist clients in some of the darkest times of their lives. Grief touches us all in the form of losing a loved one, making a big move, the loss of a career, the end of a marriage, and so many other ways. Sometimes when we are at our lowest points we need to know we are not alone. That's where I can help. When we meet, you will have the safe space you need to process your emotions and sort through your most challenging thoughts. The space we create is yours and I am here to tailor the experience to your specific needs.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Your first couple of sessions will be centered around you and your history. I like to unpack your whole story leading up to your desire to be in this space at this time.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Because I have spent the last 8 years in the medical field, I have been able to help clients with a wide variety of concerns. If I am not the right fit for you, I am connected to a great community of other clinicians that I can connect you to. Let's start with a 15 minute consultation call to make sure we are a good fit together and go from there!
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My approach is very collaborative and I want our time to be spent in a way that serves you best. Some days you may feel more goal oriented and we will focus on that. Other days may require more of a deep dive into a specific situation that you need to vent about. We will take it session by session to make sure we are accomplishing your overall goals.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is the foundation of many other therapeutic modalities. This approach helps you understand how your thoughts affect your behaviors. When using this approach we will uncover negative thought patterns and learn strategies to modify your unwanted behaviors.
Motivational Interviewing
This approach is useful for substance use and addictions. When we are using this modality, we will be assessing your desire for change and creating an action plan that suits you best.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
IFS will help you connect your emotions to physical manifestations in your body. You'll be able to explore your different "parts" and learn about what each one needs to feel connected.
