(she/her)
I am an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with experience in working with adults and children from in-patient as well as out-patient settings. I have worked with teenagers and young children for over 12 years. I specialize in working with children with trauma, anxiety, and depression. I have a heart for working with kids and teens with traumatic experiences. My passion began while I was still in high school and wanted to be a teacher. I worked in various daycare facilities as well as having my own in-home daycare and decided I wanted to help kids (and adults) in a more in-depth manner. That is when I began my journey into social work and found my true calling in life. I have experience working with children and adolescents who have been through, or are currently in, the child welfare system as well as working with older teens with substance abuse/misuse issues.
Our first session will be mostly rapport building and getting to know each other better. I will ask a lot of questions and hope clients come with questions of their own.
I have a heart for working with kids who have experienced trauma. Kids often times do not know how to express or talk about all of the trauma they have lived through, so I use a mixture of activities to help them through it. TF-CBT allows children to work through the yucky stuff by doing fun things to help them cope.
I am focused on working with children and teenagers who are struggling with histories of trauma. I also see adults for anxiety, depression, and trauma.
I identify as
Trauma-Focused CBT
I work primarily with teens and young adults who have experienced trauma. This modality allows them to process through the trauma and understand why they react in the manner they do.

She was amazing at making me feel comfortable and heard. My first therapy appointment in a few years and going to her was a great choice, can't wait for my next appointment.

I can’t recommend Jessica enough! She is extremely solution-oriented and always helps me find practical ways forward, but at the same time she’s so personable and easy to connect with. Her use of CBT is life changing. She breaks things down in a way that feels clear and doable, while also being compassionate and supportive. I always leave sessions feeling understood, encouraged, and with concrete steps I can actually apply to my life. She’s truly been such a positive influence in my growth.
