Great to meet you!

Hello, my name is Jessica, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor dedicated to providing a safe and supportive space for my clients. I hold a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from Whitworth University and I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). My approach is grounded in empathy and understanding—I truly believe that everyone deserves to be heard, respected, and supported without judgment.

In my practice, I work collaboratively with individuals facing depression, anxiety, life transitions, and the impact of past experiences. By using CBT, we’ll explore the connections between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and work together to develop practical strategies for overcoming challenges. My priority is to meet you where you are, offering both compassion and effective tools to help you move forward. I am committed to walking alongside you on your journey toward healing and personal growth.

A bit about my approach to therapy

In my work with clients, I strive to create a welcoming and nonjudgmental environment where you feel safe to share your thoughts and experiences. My counseling style is highly empathetic, collaborative, and supportive—I believe in meeting you where you are and honoring your unique story. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which allows us to explore how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected, and to develop practical tools for managing life’s challenges.

I specialize in helping individuals who are navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, and difficult life transitions. Together, we’ll set goals that are meaningful to you and work at a pace that feels comfortable. My focus is always on empowering you to build resilience, gain new insights, and create positive change in your life.

What you can expect from our first session

When working with clients, I focus on creating a warm, safe, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel truly heard and valued. My style is deeply empathetic and collaborative, and I believe in letting clients lead the way in their own healing journey. For some people, that means setting specific goals and working together to develop practical tools using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). For others, the most important thing is simply having a safe space to share, process, and be present with their feelings.

I recognize that not everyone is ready or looking to tackle specific goals right away—and that’s completely okay. Sometimes, the most healing work comes from having someone unbiased and objective to listen and hold space without judgment. My priority is to meet you where you are, whether that means supporting you through life’s challenges, helping you gain new insights, or simply being present as you navigate your experiences at your own pace.
