Great to meet you!

Hiii, I’m Jessica! I primarily see teenagers/young adults and welcome adults of all ages. My approach is person-centered, collaborative, and relaxed. We’ll work together to identify what you’re looking for and how to get it. These goals will likely develop over time and I’m here for it! I enjoy building longstanding therapeutic relationships. No matter who you are or what you’re experiencing, I will always show up with empathy and authenticity - without judgement or my own agenda.

My approach to therapy

You hold the capacity to change your life for the better and I am here to help you learn how to do that more effectively. I won’t come across like an academic who uses a lot of “clinical speak”; it's just not my style. Yet I will fold education and skill building into our work together to strengthen your capacity for growth.

I utilize an eclectic approach to therapy that is tailored to each individual client's symptoms, needs, and learning style. I weave various therapeutic modalities into my work based on my ongoing assessment of what may work best for you. I often blend talk therapy with skill-building to increase your ability for long-term growth. I'm EMDR trained and enjoy incorporating this highly effective modality into sessions when it's applicable and clients are interested.

What you can expect from me

My current availability for telehealth appointments is on Wednesdays - with some space on Tuesday/Thursday evenings as well. Please schedule a complimentary 15 minute phone/video consultation if you think I might be a good fit for you! This gives us both an opportunity to see if we’re compatible.

If we decide to work together, our first session or two will be focused on gathering relevant background information and developing your goals for therapy.
