Practice Philosophy
The primary goal is to create a space to allow people to feel safe and supported in being able to tell their stories and process their experiences. Jessica has a strong clinical skill set that enables her to establish treatment frameworks to help clients develop practical and effective coping strategies, to feel a greater sense of empowerment, to be able to heal, grow, and become the best version of themselves. Ultimately, she sees herself as someone to help people become an agent of positive change in their own lives.
"If you are looking to learn more about yourself, and make some changes in your life, I want to be the person to take that journey with you."

Client Experiences
"Jess was always so helpful in helping me navigate my issues and giving me tools and resources no matter the problem."
"She’s a great listener that remains open-minded and free of judgement. She’s great at challenging me and giving suggestions from multiple views. I can’t say enough good things about her. I’ve already referred a friend to her. I wish I would’ve had her years ago."
"She is great at being personable and understanding. As well as remembering information and being able to connect that to other experiences which helped me see the bigger picture."
