Great to meet you!

If you’re reading this it means you’ve taken the 1st, & hardest, step towards your recovery. Welcome! My name is Jess, & I’m here to help. I’ve been practicing social work for 15 years, & I specialize in the areas of mental health & addiction. I’ve always loved what I do-simply walking alongside those who seek to grow. I admire those who are willing to change, & I honor anybody ready to take that journey with me.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is built upon the sacred pact between therapist and client-established through mutual respect & trust. I seek to empower my clients to find solutions, while I provide the necessary support & guidance. I am very direct & real, & I tend to informally use a variety of therapeutic techniques. In other words, my therapy does not come straight out of a textbook, but instead offers a more “raw” perspective & real-life application.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to take away from sessions with me a sense of hopefulness & self-awareness. Clients will feel engaged, heard & empowered. I love to build my clients up-use their strengths & insights to establish a sturdy foundation they find within themselves.
