Hi there! I am a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) in Massachusetts with more than ten years of experience. I have specialized in working with clients who are coping with the challenges related to having complex medical needs or diagnoses (personally or familial). I have worked with diverse populations in health care, inpatient, outpatient, and home-based treatment settings. Mental health issues in which I have experience supporting include; adjustment, anxiety, bereavement, chronic illness, coping, & depression.
I am passionate about equality and human rights. I believe that everyone has the right to enjoy their ideal quality of life. I engage clients by providing a safe space to share whatever has brought them to seek counseling support. I empower clients to participate in problem solving their own challenging situations with the goal of creating a skill set for them to recall after our therapeutic relationship ends.
My ultimate goal is to help clients recognize their unique strengths and to support them in achieving their goals and overcoming challenges along the way.
This has been a challenging year for so many and the need for mental health support is significant. I would love to meet you to see if we might be a good fit in working through whatever brings you to seek additional support.

Talking to Jessica is like talking to a friend who knows and understands your situations like you’ve went over them plenty of times before. I really like and appreciate that though her professional appearance and way of working is precise, she’s very easy to open up to and she is very compassionate to understand you.
