Hi, I'm Jessica. Do you sometimes find yourself overwhelmed by the many priorities and responsibilities you face? Is it a challenge to just focus on one task or issue at a time? I serve as a guide to help you create the roadmap you need to get where you want to go. Together, we'll uncover the barriers that keep you from reaching your goals and developing the kind of life you want for yourself. Using techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused theories, we'll create a detailed plan of action that will take you from a place of feeling generally "stuck" to feeling satisfied and hopeful about what life has in store for you. Whether you're dealing with symptoms of depression, anxiety, grief/loss, attention difficulties, substance use, or just generally looking for support as you make changes or transitions in life, I'll be with you every step of the way. I can't wait for us to get started!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
We'll work together to develop goals that will take you from where you are today to where you want to be. Each session we'll discuss what's presently concerning for you, and work a plan to chip away at it, bit by bit.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
In particular, we'll work to create a list of challenges that demand our attention, and systematically work to reduce or eliminate them. The principles of Solution-Focused Brief Therapy include a plan to “listen, select, and build,” and we will work to find solutions and create meaning together.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I believe that's it's crucial to unearth the wisdom and resources that you already contain within yourself. Often, I find that it's necessary to help clients build confidence in the idea that they are the experts in their own lives, and my role is to help them build on the strengths and gifts they already possess.
