LMFT, 11 years of experience
Hello! I am Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I got my undergraduate degree at Carson-Newman University in Psychology and my Masters Degree from Capella University. I have been practicing for over 10 years. I work with adolescents, young adults, and adults through the lifespan. I enjoy being able to walk alongside people so they can become the best version of themselves, learn how to heal previous trauma, and develop healthy coping skills.
In our first session we will start with a brief introduction and what brings you to therapy. I like to get a general idea of what you are dealing with as well as getting to know you as an individual so that treatment can be tailored to your specific needs.
I feel like my greatest strength as a provider is in creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere that fosters communication and a sense of belonging and safety. It is my desire to create an environment where the individual feels heard and deeply understood. At 50 years old, I have some really deep and meaningful life experiences under my belt. These real life experiences combined with sound therapeutic interventions have made for a rich set of tools to bring to the table to share with others.
I enjoy working with individuals from adolescents to adults. Because my training is over the lifespan and various aspects that occur throughout the lifespan, I feel comfortable working with a vareity of populations as well as a variety of issues.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families build stronger, healthier relationships. I specialize in working through trauma and relationship challenges, offering a supportive and compassionate space where healing and growth can take place. Using an integrative approach, I tailor therapy to meet your unique needs, blending evidence-based techniques to foster deeper connections, emotional resilience, and personal well-being.
If faith is an important part of your journey, I welcome the opportunity to explore how spirituality and therapy can work together in a way that feels meaningful and supportive for you. I will always respect each individual's belief system and journey and will incorporate faith elements at the client's request.

Jessica was very kind and listened closely to my story. She didn't project my responses to my trauma but asked leading questions to determine how I was coping. She was mature and thoughtful and thought provoking, encouraging and patient. I will connect with her when I am able. Our logistics are off.

I walk away with something valuable every single time I speak to Jessica. I could not have possibly found a better fit

Jessica listens with understanding. Her ability to truly relate to my experiences and “get it right” has made each session invaluable. She doesn’t simply offer advice—she provides practical, constructive actions that have guided me along my healing journey. Jessica doesn’t heal me herself; instead, she holds my hand and walks beside me as I move toward victory. I am truly grateful and praise God for selecting Jessica to be my wise counselor.
