About Me

I am a licensed clinical social worker in Idaho with over 10 years of experience working as a counselor. I have worked with clients across the life span who come with concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, addiction and co-morbidity issues, family dynamic challenges, and those with a trauma history.

I approach counseling as a partner with my clients. I believe in compassion and empathy and that feeling truly heard is valuable to clients. My approach combines client-centered, cognitive-behavioral methods, and the use of dialectical behavior skills . We will work together to determine the approaches you feel best support your journey of growth.

Examining ourselves and wanting to grow is heroes' work! I look forward to supporting you in your journey.

Jessica is great. She listens so well to my thoughts and concerns but also explains everything in a way that doesn’t make me feel blamed or shameful!

Jessica is a great listener. She guided me to explore certain areas I didn’t realize they were indirectly affecting me. Looking forward to my second session with Jessica.

Jessica is a good listener, she always responds in a timely manner, and she is flexible with scheduling. I always feel heard when I finish my sessions.

Jessica is amazing, she shares her wisdom and insight with me in an unobtrusive and supportive way. She is a great listener and has taken the time to get to know me and what works best for our time together.

Working with Jessica has helped me evolve through so many hardships. The consistent conversation through the messaging helps me capture the emotions in the moment and explain them to her. She even goes out of her way to do more for those she is helping. I don't think I would be here without this service.
