Hello and welcome! As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I believe in a strength based approach to personal healing and growth. As a therapist, I respect the opportunity to work with individuals and families struggling with grief and loss by providing a safe place to share, learn and heal.
I foster empathy and acceptance as patients and families address life changing diagnoses and care needs. With over ten years of experience providing support to individuals and caregivers struggling with dementia and mood related issues, I utilize an integrated approach including, but not limited to, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Psychotherapy. I seek to empower individuals and families with the knowledge and tools they need to promote dignity and wellness.
Finally, my background in grief and loss counseling has also prepared me to address the unrecognized and often untreated issues associated with pet loss, specifically the complicated and overwhelming emotions associated with chronic and terminal care of a pet, related end of life issues, and the emotionally challenging process of pet surrender.
Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. Your insight and willingness to seek support is the first step toward healing and growth. I wish you the best on your journey!

Jessica is very helpful, more so than of my past therapists. She takes the time to listen. She makes helpful suggestions. She incorporates my spiritual beliefs into those suggestions.

Absolutely the best therapist I've had over my many years of therapy! Wonderfully understanding, skilled in many kinds of therapy and knowledgeable about many tactics. Tailors each visit for my needs and finds analogies and ways of understanding that fit me personally! No cookie cutter responses, truly understanding and personalized care.

Jessica is an amazing therapist. She listens to my concerns and lets us focus on what im feeling is most important at that moment. She’s always respectful in the way she communicates her thoughts and responds to me way faster and more frequently than I initially expected when I signed up for better help. I would absolutely recommend Jessica and better help to friends and family.

I am new to therapy and was uncomfortable with the idea but decided to just jump in. Jessica has made it a delightful experience and has been incredibly helpful. She’s also made me feel comfortable to be open and she tries to personally get to know me rather than solely doing her job. I truly feel like I’m listed to and supported.

Jessica is a great listener and I really appreciate the strategies she gives me before the next session,. They are very helpful. She also finds ways to make me laugh even though my situation is not a laughing matter. She just knows how to ease the tension.

Jessica has been a true blessing. She has been so helpful in this rollercoaster life have brought me.

This is the first time in my life that I have actually made progress through therapy and it’s all thanks to her taking the time out to understand, listen and talk to me as a real person. She is just great!

Jessica has been so helpful and caring, all while remaining professional and providing real tools for solving real life problems. I've never done therapy for this long - it's given me the stable footing that I needed in my life. Highly recommend!

Jessica is such a well-rounded professional. She lets the client share their wants and needs with therapy and formulates and approach from there. She offers a variety of strategies to help me work through challenges. Per my request, Jessica gives me short and simple “homework” activities (that are optional) that help me remain accountable between sessions and help me to reflect on what we discussed. She is upbeat, empathetic, and validating. I am so glad I was connected with her and within 2 sessions, she has helped me work through more than she knows! I would highly recommend Jessica. Thank you for what you do!

After learning that local therapists were scheduling six or more months out, I reluctantly turned to betterhelp. I was matched with Jessica right away and we met that same week. She has been such a gift to my journey. She helped me climb out of a very dark space and once I was more healthy, helped me work toward other professional and personal goals. She is well-trained in both mental health and leadership coaching. Awesome presence. Amazing, deep knowledge. She is the best of the best.

Jessica takes time to address and correct thinking while covering several topics each session. I appreciate her forward thinking approach and focus on strengths and activities to do between sessions. She is down to earth and straight forward, while taking time to identify and connect with you.

I have only been working with Jessica for 2 weeks and I am already learning a lot. She is a great listener and our sessions have been very productive. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for help. I am excited to continue working with her and changing myself for the better.

I sought out BetterHelp because I felt stuck. I chose Jessica specifically because of her work related to grief over dogs. My issue was not dog grief (though some of it might be) but I thought someone that empathetic would be a good person to have in my corner. I have had just two sessions but I already feel more in control of my life and future. In my first session alone, I felt a heavy load lift from my shoulders for all the insight. Jessica is a wonderful listener and provides intuitive, practical tools for navigating relationships and the future.
