Crisis, trauma, loss, and suffering while difficult, can lead to the discovery of new capacities for healing and growth. During this time of uncertainty, now may be the ideal time to address these issues. Therapy is a transformative and collaborative process that can help. I welcome working with individuals of all ages. I work from a strengths-based approach and use evidence-based models of therapy including -- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA), Psychodynamic Therapy, and solution-focused models – to address the challenges life presents us. In addition to my work in private practice, I work in a forensic hospital setting for those afflicted with a severe mental illness. I have extensive training in counseling and am well qualified to treat a variety of patients and symptom profiles including, but not limited to individuals in crisis/suicidality, substance abuse, depression, and anxiety.

Ideal clients

I love working with clients that are eager to grow and live their best life but may not have the tools to get to where they want to be. I work in collaboration with clients who may be feeling stuck, unfulfilled, insecure, overwhelmed, or just going through a transitionary period in life, to help them achieve their goals and live the life they want.

Jessica is an incredible therapist—warm, authentic, and deeply validating. She creates a safe and supportive environment where I feel truly heard and understood. Her intelligence and insight allow her to offer thoughtful guidance, and I always leave our sessions with a greater sense of clarity and self-compassion. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist who is not only knowledgeable but also genuinely caring.
