As a licensed therapist in Florida with two decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex life challenges.

I bring deep expertise in addressing depression, anxiety, addiction, and interpersonal challenges. My approach is holistic and person-centered, focusing on understanding each individual's unique journey. I'm particularly passionate about supporting young adults, multicultural communities, and individuals working through attachment issues, self-esteem challenges, and life transitions.

My therapeutic style integrates evidence-based practices with genuine empathy, helping clients develop meaningful coping strategies and build resilience. Whether you're experiencing social anxiety, processing grief, or seeking greater self-understanding, I'm committed to walking alongside you with respect, curiosity, and professional support.

I absolutely love finding a one in a million therapist that treats you like a real person and not another ticket on the books for the day. She comes across as more of a friend than a professional which is exactly what I personally look for when opening up to someone.

Jessica is a supportive and light spirited listener and conversationalist. She does an amazing job at keeping things light hearted while also delving feeling into convos. A lot of what she says is very relational to herself or other examples to help me understand where I need to make progress.
