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 can understand the situation or challenge at hand, and even what I’m feeling, without me giving her the greatest explanation. I really appreciated her advice and it benefitted me quite a bit. She is so kind and patient.

Over the past couple months, Jessica has definitely become a safe space. She’s so thoughtful, kind and encouraging but also challenges me to work on myself without sugar coating. I’m confident that she’s on my team and is actively working on ways to help me grow.

I believe Jessica is helping me to get back to myself and learn to live this life without my daughter…and perhaps even forgive myself and my husband for her suicide.

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.
