I’ve only had one session with Jesse. But in the time he gave off a very relaxed and welcoming energy which made it very easy to begin the discussion and open up to him. Looking forward to future sessions.

Right from the start Jesse was very easy to speak to. He’s calm, Very reassuring, and provides a lot of great insight. In such a short time, I felt very comfortable opening up to him about very personal things and never felt judged at all. Jesse responds to messages in a timely manner and is thoughtful with his words. Would totally recommend :)

Jesse is highly trained, a skilled listener, and a caring person. He provides resources for outside the session if you want that..
