Jessica is a delight to work with. She offers helpful, tangible, action based advice and cultivates a really safe and engaging space to talk through anything I need. Jessica is really grounded, easy to connect with, and I always leave my sessions feeling empowered and like I have a plan of action for the week. I am seeing myself making progress, and I’m still a new client. I highly recommend her!!
