About Me
Hello there.
I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with over 6 years of experience working as a psychotherapist and over 10 years of experience as a life coach. I have primarily worked with clients dealing with various concerns including depression and anxiety, self-esteem/self-worth, relationship issues, sexual orientation, and career challenges. I also aid in helping people deal with trauma from racial oppression and violence.
My counseling style is direct and caring, with you as the leader and expert of your experience. I meet you where you are and begin with strengthening the foundation you will build on. Whatever ideations, thoughts, and beliefs you currently have will be used and/or challenged in an environment that allows you to safely, freely, and openly express them. Aside from safety concerns, this is a completely judge free zone no matter the culture/subculture, gender, pronoun, or race. I create and uphold an environment of MUTUAL respect of boundaries and you are able to go at your pace. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, experiential, psychodynamic, and motivational-interviewing which would be tailored to your needs.
I believe in elevating the personal power within and guide you towards accessing that. Living in truth looks different for everyone. Let's find out what it looks like, for you!

Reviews
Jessica is a great listener who can read between the lines of what you’re trying to communicate. Always look forward to our sessions.
Jessica has changed my life for the better, she’s helped understand situations. She’s always caring and she explains in a level I can understand the situation.
Jessica is an amazing therapist. She listens, laughs, and gets it. She also is very thoughtful on her responses and if she doesn’t know what to say right away she follows up later on. So far it’s been really helpful and life changing!
Jessica is kind and super understanding. The level of professionalism she has is astonishing! She is patient and gives plenty of wisdom!
