LMFT, 15 years of experience
Hi. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. I received my Masters from St. Mary's College of California and have been working with clients for 15 years. I have worked extensively with teenagers and parents, as well as individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, parenting and relationship issues. I am passionate about helping clients be the best version of themselves. I strive to provide a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and gain a deeper understanding of yourself. It can also be a valuable tool in learning new coping skills and strategies to manage difficult emotions and situations. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or simply feeling stuck in life, counseling can support you in finding the clarity and direction you need to move forward.
Seeking therapy is a brave and important decision that can bring about positive changes in your life. In our first session together, we'll start with introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing that brought you to therapy. We will discuss your goals and formulate a plan so I can help you reach those goals.
I believe my greatest attributes are being a good listener, holding each client in unconditional regard, and being respectful of each clients's process.
I love working with people of all ages while they navigate challenges in their lives. I do have extensive experience working with teenagers and parents, which can be a chellenging time for families.
Person-centered therapy operates on the humanistic belief that the client is inherently driven toward and has the capacity for growth! The role of the counselor is to provide a nonjudgmental environment conducive to honest self-exploration.
CBT is helpful in challenge reoccurring thoughts and managing anxiety. We’ll use CBT to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. We’ll then use that knowledge to change your thinking patterns, which will help you lead a less anxious and stressed life.

I was hesitant at first to get any kind of help because I got so much on my plate that I started to “believe” I have no time and don’t need any kind of therapy with my recent trauma but decided to listen to my heart. With Jessica I felt comfortable right away! Even though it was an intake session she still took the time to listen to what I am going through, seemed to really care and reminded me that taking care of myself is priority so I can stay strong ! Glad I have met her!
