Hi! I am a licensed therapist in the state of CA and ID. I received my Masters from the University of Phoenix and have been practicing for 5 years. I have experience helping individuals overcome challenges and achieve personal growth. I have a strong background in providing effective therapeutic interventions, and I am committed to facilitating positive change and promoting mental well-being. My approach to therapy is client-centered, meaning that I prioritize building a trusting and collaborative relationship with you. I believe in meeting you where you are in your journey and tailoring treatment plans to best support your unique needs and goals. By creating a safe and non-judgmental space, I empower you to explore your emotions, gain insight, and develop the skills necessary to navigate life's complexities.
In our first session, we will dedicate time to getting to know each other and establishing a foundation of trust. You can expect a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can freely express yourself and share your concerns, goals, and any challenges you may be facing. This initial session serves as an opportunity for us to discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, explore your background, and determine the best approach to address your unique needs.
What sets me apart is my deep belief in the power of empowerment. I am passionate about helping you discover your inner strength and resilience, providing you with the tools and strategies necessary to navigate life's challenges with confidence. By working collaboratively, we will develop personalized coping mechanisms and techniques tailored to your unique needs. Together, we will delve into the root causes of your anxiety and work towards creating a life filled with joy, balance, and fulfillment. You don't have to face this journey alone - I am here to walk alongside you every step of the way. If you are ready to reclaim control over your life and experience true inner peace, reach out to me for a confidential consultation. Let's embark on a transformative journey together.
I have extensive experience working with high functioning adults facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. I love working with individuals who are navigating relationships, specifically when it comes to setting boundaries. Drawing upon my experience and training in cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based practices, I support you in identifying your self-worth and building confidence by helping you gain a deeper understanding of your values, priorities, and needs, I empower you to communicate your boundaries effectively and develop fulfilling relationships that support your growth and well-being.
I use CBT to help you identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns, develop healthier coping strategies, and reduce emotional distress. This approach is particularly effective in treating anxiety, depression, and relational challenges by promoting cognitive awareness and behavioral activation.
ACT techniques are used to help you build psychological flexibility, clarify values, and increase mindfulness. I often incorporate ACT to support you in navigating grief and life transitions, guiding you toward acceptance while taking committed action aligned with your values.
For clients with OCD and anxiety-related concerns, I incorporate Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to gradually reduce compulsions and help them face intrusive thoughts with greater confidence and resilience.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy is woven throughout my work to help you cultivate present-moment awareness, manage emotional reactivity, and reduce patterns of worry and rumination.
I incorporate psychoeducation as a foundational tool to help raise awareness and support growth. By deepening your understanding of your emotional and cognitive processes, you are empowered with the knowledge, insight, and skills needed to foster meaningful, lasting change.

Jessica is wonderful. She helps you think through the situations and come up with solutions. She has helped me rethink how to handle certain situations. I still have a lot of work to do on myself, but she has provided great resources at each session.

I have come to Jessica with a number of different issues over the last few years we've worked together, and each issue or symptom is met with the same genuine understanding and empathy. If I could select more therapy styles I would certainly include empowering as well. I appreciate that no matter what kind of session I need (a dump of the events since we last spoke or a session where I need some prompting along the way) she can always meet me where I am at.

I had extremely positive results with Jessica. She was very solution-oriented and gave me a number of practical solutions to help me help myself.
