My name is Jessica and I graduated from UNCW with a Bachelor's in Psychology in 2009. I then went on to obtain my Master's Degree in Professional Counseling from Liberty University and graduated in 2013. I have worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings for 11 years. I have extensive experience working with addiction, recovery, healing from trauma and codependency, and working with those with adverse childhood experiences and adult children of alcoholics.
I would consider myself warm and welcoming to my clients. Throughout the years my clients have told me that they feel comfortable and safe with me and really look forward to therapy. I incorporate motivational interviewing, CBT, DBT, solution-focused and strengths based approaches in counseling.
I create a space where clients feel comfortable with me and learn to trust the process of therapy with me. I work with each client to set specific and attainable goals. I want each client to find the healing they are searching for and it's my job to help them get to that place.
