Great to meet you!

My name is Jessika, I have been working in the field for a little over 4 years now with a focus on community mental health care. I received a BS in psychology at the University of Massachusetts Boston and a MA in clinical mental health counseling and expressive arts therapy at Lesley University.

My approach to therapy

My approach is person-centered and strengths-based, grounded in the belief that you already hold the capacity for growth and healing. In our work together, I provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you can explore your thoughts and emotions, make meaning of your experiences, and build resilience. Whether you're coping with loss, feeling stuck, or adjusting to change, I aim to support you in creating the changes that align with your values and goals.

What you can expect from me

Our early sessions are centered on you—your story, your challenges, and what you hope to gain from therapy. I take time to listen and understand your perspective so that we can work collaboratively toward your goals at a pace that feels comfortable and supportive.
