I am a grief- and trauma-informed, neuro-affirming therapist who brings both professional training and lived experience to my work. I’ve personally navigated profound deaths in my life—my dad and my partner—which reshaped how I understand grief, trauma, and identity. These experiences inform how I hold space: with depth, honesty, and attunement, rather than trying to “fix” someone.
I work primarily with adults, sometimes couples or families, offering therapy, experiential interventions, and assessments, including MIGDAS-2 for adult autism. My approach is integrative, blending evidence-based modalities—like EMDR, ART, DBR, hypnotherapy, somatic work, mindfulness, and ketamine-assisted therapy—with relational and identity-centered support.
Off the clock, I share my life with my husband and two dogs, Bisbee and Rio, and value intuition, quiet reflection, and everyday moments of insight and magic. I believe lasting change comes from consistent, relational, and thoughtfully paced work—helping clients reconnect with themselves, their values, and what truly matters.
My name is Jess Jacupke, and I have been working as a therapist for 5 years. I am dedicated to supporting adults as they navigate the path back to themselves. My practice is built on the belief that everyone deserves a space where they can be truly seen and understood.
I have a Master’s in Counseling and specialized training in treating past painful events and trauma, as well as the anxiety, depression, dissociation, and substance use that often accompany that. I also work with a wide range of life challenges, including: healing from difficult relationships, anxiety and "system overload,” substance use issues, depression, chronic health issues, life transitions, and more.
My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I tailor our work together to fit your needs and goals. Evidenced base approaches I can well versed with: Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Solution-Focus Brief Therapy, and more.
One of the most important aspects of successful treatment is the relationship you create with your therapist. I offer a unique blend of compassion, humor, and sound clinical judgment to foster genuine connections with my patients.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in your thoughts, or carrying stress that just won’t seem to let up, you’re not alone. You might look like you’re holding everything together on the outside, but inside it feels heavy, exhausting, or unclear how to move forward. Therapy can be a place where you finally feel heard — without judgment.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Many of my clients come in unsure of why they feel the way they do, or frustrated that things haven’t changed despite their efforts. Together, we’ll begin to make sense of what’s going on beneath the surface so you can feel more grounded, clear, and in control of your life.
