Jessica Sparks
I'm a proud Bay Area native, raised in Silicon Valley with roots in a military and law enforcement family. My journey as a teen mom and survivor of domestic violence has inspired my passion for supporting others through life’s challenges. I earned my BA in Psychology from San Jose State and my MA in Clinical Psychology from Notre Dame de Namur. I've had the privilege of working with law enforcement families, and individuals facing eating disorders, addiction, homelessness, and mental health crises.
