About me

I believe that each person should be the expert on themselves. Through mental health counseling/therapy, stress management, anger management, and life coaching, I help people understand themselves and learn how to excel in all aspects of life.
I treat everyone with respect and warmth. I work to ensure that our sessions will be tailored to your needs and goals.

My counseling style is pretty laid back. I have been described as supportive, caring, and compassionate, with a pretty good sense of humor. I like to focus on identifying your strengths and helping you to maximize them to overcome your obstacles. I'm here to help you sort through the things that are difficult right now, and offer you a safe place to be open and honest without fear of judgment.
I believe strongly in a collaborative process in designing counseling experiences. You are the expert on you, the techniques we will use may change depending on your style and needs. Every individual is unique, and no one orientation will serve all.

Written on Apr 05, 2024 after therapy with Jessica for 2 years on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, lgbt, grief, intimacy-related issues, self esteem, and coping with life changes

She is an amazing, caring, and thoughtful therapist whom is great at listening but will interject very helpful information and strategies when needed.

Honestly most of the time she just lets me talk which is what I prefer but she definitely helps me when needed and I really appreciate her a lot. She really helped me find self love and confidence and strategies with how to cope with life in healthy ways. Really think she is doing such a service to her clients

I had two sessions with Jessica and she was patient to understand my struggles and frustrations. She sends me resources like tools and worksheets in a regular basis and they are helpful and serve as timely reminders to me.

Jessica is such an empathetic therapist. She listens, hears what I'm trying to say, and addresses it in both clinical terms and compassionate conversation. She is the first therapist I've had who I trust.

Written on Oct 28, 2022 after therapy with Jessica for 1 month on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, self esteem, and coping with life changes

I’ve only started my therapy journey for 4 weeks now & Jessica has been wonderful. She certainly has made me feel validated, valued & supported. I still feel very new to the therapy space & what it should feel or look like. Most of the time I just feel lost, overwhelmed with all the new feelings I’m experiencing , the unfamiliar unknown of reflection. But jessica is guiding me through that & is helping me understand that it’s normal to feel this way. I’m looking forward to growing & learning about myself more with her help :)

Written on Sep 28, 2022 after therapy with Jessica for 1 month on issues concerning relationship issues, family conflicts, and trauma and abuse

Jessica was a pleasure to work with; she was very good at listening well and both reflecting what she heard and asking questions to help reveal more internal dialogue. Her advice and worksheets were quite insightful. I feel more well-equipped to work through my difficulties.
A wonderful counselor to work with!

I gained the strength to overcome through her.

Written on Sep 19, 2022 after therapy with Jessica for 1 year and 7 months

Jessica is a phenomenal counselor--I feel so blessed to have been matched with her! I feel comfortable telling her anything and everything, and trust her 100% to be both supportive and truthful. Her responses show that she listens really well and also totally gets me. Some of her lessons have been subtle--I don't get all of them immediately. But she is very patient, and over time I am learning so much from her and learning so much about my own mental health challenges, boundaries, self-care, and navigating complex relationships.

Written on Sep 15, 2022 after therapy with Jessica for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, lgbt, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleeping disorders, self esteem, and adhd

I didn't know where to start and Jessica got the ball rolling with a simple question and the session just unpacked itself. I felt more heard and seen than I have by anyone for a very long time. I didn't expect to cry as much as I did but that's okay, it just means that we were getting to the real nitty gritty stuff and I very much look forward to continue working with her.

Exceptional!

Written on Jul 15, 2022 after therapy with Jessica for 2 months on issues concerning trauma and abuse

Jessica's professionalism and grace complement each other perfectly. Intertwined with her thought-provoking questions, she leads me to find my own answers, helps me understand the why behind the what, and guides me gently toward healing. She's open to my wants and needs, and is incredibly flexible about how, and how quickly, we move forward. Most of all, I feel truly heard. She is an incredible listener and her insight has helped me greatly.

Written on Jul 12, 2022 after therapy with Jessica for 1 year and 2 months on issues concerning addictions, relationship issues, intimacy-related issues, and anger management

Jessica listens without judgment. I appreciate the perspectives she gives which allow me to see events from angles that I wouldn't have considered. I'm extremely grateful to have her in my corner!

Written on Jul 09, 2022 after therapy with Jessica for 2 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, sleeping disorders, and adhd

Jessica's been very patient and helpful for me. It always feels like a safe, judgement-free space when I'm talking to her. I had a couple of other therapists before her that weren't so great and had very limited availability. But she's willing to move things around in her schedule for you if you just ask. I would have gave up on the whole idea of therapy entirely if I hadn't found her when I did. Highly recommend her.

Written on Jun 28, 2022 after therapy with Jessica for 3 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, intimacy-related issues, and coping with life changes

Been with her for a short time…..but I feel like I got lucky. Sounds like my experience could have been 10x worse with online therapy. She has helped make my life and relationship easier.

Written on Jun 26, 2022 after therapy with Jessica for 1 year and 3 months on issues concerning depression, relationship issues, and parenting issues

So helpful!

Written on Jun 20, 2022 after therapy with Jessica for 2 months on issues concerning relationship issues, family conflicts, intimacy-related issues, self esteem, anger management, and compassion fatigue

Jessica has been wonderful! I had to switch therapists a couple of times because I was not connecting with previous ones. When I got matched with Jessica I told her that I needed to be challenged, what some of the other therapists said to me that were damaging and what I needed. She listened, heard my needs, and challenged me every step of the way.
Some of our sessions were very emotionally raw and during them, Jessica would stop to check in and ask how I was doing. This was so helpful as I have never had a therapist do this before.
Jessica showed so much care for my situation and made it very comfortable for me to talk about anything and everything. Thank you for being great at what you do!

Written on May 17, 2022 after therapy with Jessica for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, intimacy-related issues, self esteem, anger management, and coping with life changes

She listens and asks questions that make me critically think. Helps me dig deep to really work on improving.

Written on May 10, 2022 after therapy with Jessica for 1 month on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, eating disorders, sleeping disorders, self esteem, career difficulties, and coping with life changes

Jessica is amazing! She listens, understands, and always suggests new perspectives and ways to deal with complex emotions. She makes sure at the end of each session I have goals and steps to reach them, all at my own pace. I leave the space feeling safe, heard, and ready to take on any challenge that comes my way.

Written on May 10, 2022 after therapy with Jessica for 2 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, self esteem, career difficulties, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue

Jessica is wonderful. While I am moving off of this platform to a different therapist so that I can use my insurance coverage, my leaving has absolutely no reflection on how great and helpful I have found Jessica. She is warm, approachable, and has done a great job helping me to navigate problems at work, to unpack trauma of a past relationship, and to figure out how to better care for myself. She is a true professional and I am so lucky to have been matched with her.

Written on Mar 03, 2022 after therapy with Jessica for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, and self esteem

I have only had one therapy session so far. However Jessica is open to texting, which I really appreciate. It allows me to bring up issues during the week while I'm going through it. She responds quickly with empathy. So far I'm really encouraged to do more therapy.

Jessica is very skilled at helping me untangle the thought processes and beliefs that hold me back from living the life that I want. The work is still ongoing but she has helped me understand the importance of setting boundaries, and I feel safer, calmer, and more empowered in my interactions with people.

I activated an account on teencounseling.com in a time of crisis and with real trepidation about engaging in therapy. Jessica assuaged my anxiety around therapy and helped me out of my crisis and into taking better steps going forward. Jessica showed me the power talk therapy could have on my life. She is wonderful, insightful and kind. So grateful for her guidance and wisdom~

Written on Jul 20, 2021 after therapy with Jessica for 4 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger management, coaching, compassion fatigue, and adhd

This is the first time I've ever been able to connect with a counselor and actually open up about some of the stuff I've been dealing with. She gets all the first responder stress when I'm overwhelmed and I never feel judged for my mistakes. She understands my thought processes and always supports me with mind-blowing expertise on my quests for better self care/boundaries/time management/etc.

Written on Jun 11, 2021 after therapy with Jessica for 2 months on issues concerning relationship issues, family conflicts, and grief

Jessica meets me where I’m at. She provides a supportive, safe space for me to show up as I am. Jessica sees and hears me and gives appropriate constructive feedback.

Written on May 17, 2021 after therapy with Jessica for 3 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, and self esteem

Jessica has been great, she listens and is able to repeat what I feel was a jumbled mess into a well constructed feedback and breakdown. I feel I don't always orate well, but she has been able to understand me and help me to work through my thoughts, giving me time to speak, think, and listen. Jessica is great.

Written on Apr 28, 2021 after therapy with Jessica for 3 months

Jessica has been really wonderful to work with. She creates a space where I can be vulnerable without judgement, allows me space to work through tough subjects, and reminds me of the baby steps I'm taking while also affirming how far I have come along.

Written on Apr 11, 2021 after therapy with Jessica for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, and adhd

She was very patient and very kind. She helped my get another perspective on what I'm dealing with, which helps. :)

Written on Mar 13, 2021 after therapy with Jessica for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief, self esteem, and coping with life changes

Jessica is patient, kind, understanding and supportive. She's able to understand the concerns I attempt to convey to her, when I'm making a mess of unraveling something and sounding very much as though I've lost my mind. This is done in a knowledgeable, patient way without putting out preconceived ideas that would hinder or confuse my attempts.
While I have no idea how a client is matched to their counselor, this is a perfect match for the help I need. Jessica has been a great blessing,
and im sure she shall continue to be one going foward. Thank you so very much.

I liked Jessica's style. I left the session feeling lighter than when it started. I also was able to clarify goals and feel like she will hold me accountable in a kind/compassionate way for my progress. I felt she was empathetic and gave me new and helpful ways of looking at the situations I am dealing with currently.

Jessica has an observant and constructive approach during sessions. I feel like I am being seen and heard. On days when therapy feels like a struggle before I even begin, she has a tender approach that leaves me feeling lighter than when I started. Overall, I would say that Jessica is adaptable to the vibe of the day.

Written on Feb 21, 2021 after therapy with Jessica for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, intimacy-related issues, eating disorders, self esteem, and compassion fatigue

I was initially hesitant to accept Jessica because she’s much younger than me and I held a bias about receiving counsel from someone younger than me. But I’m really glad I did. She has been the ideal person to meet me in my struggles, help me organize my thoughts, and implement healthy boundaries to improve relationships. Grateful for her and the groupinars.
