About me

I am a clinically licensed social worker in Virginia with over 10 years experience working as a counselor with adolescents and adults. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including anger management, relationship issues, goal setting and achievement, and parenting problems. My counseling style is upbeat, motivational, and interactive. I believe in getting to know each person as a unique individual and working creatively to incorporate your beliefs, values, and important life experiences into reaching your goals. My approach is very client-centered with a focus in cognitive-behavioral therapy. I will work with you to understand and meet your specific needs and desires.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

I know a first session with a new provider can be an intimidating experience. For our first meeting, we will review intake paperwork together and discuss more openly your background information and your focus/goals that you hope to work on in therapy. Rest assured, I will help you to feel comfortable and safe throughout this experience.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I have a lot of experience working with clients with different severities of ADHD, anxiety disorders, and depression. I strive for my clients to be able to make progress with functioning within their daily lives in a way that makes them feel successful and positive.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love working with people to reach their goals. It is my goal to help you feel supported and enabled to make progress with the path that you want to pursue.

I have a really hard time finding therapists and Jessica has been great. She lets me vent but then comes up with solutions. I really enjoy meeting with her!
