Great to meet you!

Hi, hello, I'm Jessy! I'm a black, neurodivergent and queer clinician that has been in the mental health field for over a decade with experience working in residential, public school, and private practice settings. I believe in being able to show up as your authentic self, and pride myself in being able to help guide others on their own personal journeys. Whether you're working through tough times, wanting to figure out this whole anxiety thing, or just wanting to get to know yourself a little more, my hope is that we can learn together in partnership as you navigate through this roller coaster we call life.

My approach to therapy

I believe the most important part of therapy is the therapeutic relationship. My goal is to support you by creating an environment where you are comfortable being your authentic self, feel seen, and heard. I'm a certified clinical trauma professional, EMDR trained, and utilize a person centered approach. I love utilizing creative and art based interventions to explore identity, navigate challenges, and most importantly, help you make choices that best support your own personal journey.

What you can expect from me

Our work together will be collaborative, exploratory, and practical! Real, science based interventions that you can use in everyday life. Early sessions will include learning about who you are and what you're wanting as we work in partnership to create your individualized treatment plan.
