    About

    Hello! I am licensed in North Carolina, Iowa, North Dakota, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Utah, and Florida. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, depression, Autism, ADHD, coping with grief and loss, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.

    I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, depression, Autism, ADHD, coping with grief and loss, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.

    I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. Congratulations on getting to this very important step! I am excited to support & empower you in that journey.

    First session

    In our first session I will ask some basic questions to get an overview of what brought you to therapy, some current symptoms, and any goals you may have for therapy. I will allow time for you to share whatever you would like for me to know and I will allow time for you to ask any questions you may have. My goal is always to provide a relaxed environment, to destress not add ANY stress:)

    Strengths

    I enjoy working with all ages, diagnoses, and life struggles. I have extensive experience with teens, adults, and older adults. I enjoy assisting in any challenges that may arise. No matter the age or symptoms we can work together so that you receive the quality of life that you deserve!

    Ideal clients

    I have experience and love working with all ages and stages of life. From teen, adult, to older adults. I am happy to assist any way I can!

    Treatment methods

    Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

    Our thoughts turn into our feelings but our feelings are not always facts. Working on training the brain is process but worth the journey.

    Strength-Based

    We all have strengths and weaknesses, often times building off of what we do well helps us grow and bloom as individuals.

    Supportive

    We all need someone to listen to our thoughts and feelings. Its amazing at how talking through them, we can feel a weight lifted off of us!

    Positive Psychology

    Sometimes we have to dig deep but there are a lot more positives then we tend to see initially.

    For our 1st session , I felt confident in opening up to her, & threw a lot of information at her. She was Not judgmental, asked relevant questions.. she was engaged. Felt she was authentic & an active listener. She was on time for appt. Which spoke volumes about respectful of my time. Genuinely looking forward to our upcoming sessions .

    I love working with Jessica. I feel so supported and cared for while also being held accountable, and she is amazing at asking leading questions to help me come to my own conclusions/ realizations. Can't recommend her enough for ADHD patients too!
