I am licensed in Texas with 6+ years of professional work experience. I Identify as a Queer/Cis woman, body positive, Health At Every Size aligned, anti-abelism, Neurodivergent, Poly/kink allied. As a LMFT I specialize in family systems and generational trauma; I believe that in a family system, there can not be just one "problem client". I employ models like CBT and DBT to help my clients connect with and understand their emotions separately from the trauma they have experienced. One of my main goals for my clients is to be able to have healthy and thriving relationships even when they may have been told it's not possible due to their diagnosis. I encourage my clients to advocate for their spiritual, social, medical, and artistic needs. I allow my clients the right to choose which treatment method they prefer as only my clients know what will help them the most.
There is nothing weak about processing trauma, learning to control anxiety, and getting help for your marriage... There is nothing wrong with you because you identify in the LGBTQ+ spectrum... There is no shame in just wanting to be/feel better... It doesn't matter if you are in a traditional or non-traditional relationship as long as it's healthy.

Jess is honestly the best therapist I have ever worked with. She is so easy to talk to and her compassion and knowledge shine through in every session. Therapy can be daunting, but she has made this such a great experience. I highly recommend her to both therapy newbies or people that thought therapy wasn't for them in the past.

Jessica is an incredible therapist, who makes you feel safe and welcome to express anything you want/need to talk about. I was so impressed with the way she oriented me to therapy before I began, her detailed explanation of her background, strengths, and specialties--- and how she can help you specifically based on your individual needs. We also went into a deep discussion regarding language and culture that was integrated into our sessions. I really feel like Jessica does an amazing job of asking questions/prompts so that her clients learn to find these answers within themselves and to better understand why internal conflicts arise and exist. I feel very comfortable just being honest with Jessica during our sessions--- which is very big for me because I usually cannot talk about the traumatic events in my life with anyone else.

I was so nervous to start therapy but meeting Jess made me feel motivated to go. She is warm, open minded, humorous and has a very relaxing presence about her. I used to dread the thought of therapy and now I look forward to it. Very grateful I found her.

She's a pretty cool person to just chat about your problems
