Hi! I am Jessica, a licensed clinical social worker in Louisiana.
I have 7 years of professional work experience in helping clients with relationship issues, coping with grief and loss, & parenting issues. I provide emotionally-focused informed therapy, which means we look at the ways in which our relationships with those around us affect us, and explore how we are trying to get our needs met when things feel tough. We look at the ways we are asking for these needs to be met from both ourselves and those around us.
I have previously worked with biological parents and children that have been removed from their custody, hospice patients and their families, and emergency/medical social work.
I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
Additional areas of focus: Self esteem, Coping with life changes, Compassion fatigue, ADHD, Abandonment, Aging and Geriatric Issues, Attachment issues, Blended Family Issues, Caregiver issues and stress, Codependency, Commitment Issues, Communication problems, Divorce and separation, Family of Origin Issues, Family Problems, Forgiveness, Guilt and shame, Hospice and End of Life Counseling, Isolation / loneliness, Life purpose, Self-love, Women's issues
Clinical approaches: Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Jessica had been responsive to my Journaling even though I’ve only shared as a way to communicate my thoughts to help me through my current situation.
I do not feel rushed or pressured with my time to manage her agenda or schedule and that she genuinely displays a concern to help me through my current challenges.
I am thankful and grateful for the support.
