Hi, I’m Jessica, and I’ve been working in the helping professions since 1999. I have a deep calling for holding a guiding light during your dark times. I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling and am a licensed therapist in Arizona, using evidence based talk therapy and trauma processing modalities. Throughout my career, I’ve found that a calm presence can make all the difference, and that’s what I always intend to bring to my work. I’ve also had the honor of being a yoga teacher with a background in holistic living, and understand the mind-body connection. Mindfulness meditation is a part of my own personal practice, and I may incorporate this into my therapy work to help you cultivate peace and clarity.

On a personal note, as an adolescent I exited the conservative, tight-knit religion I was raised in and never looked back. I respect the bravery and courage it takes to be true to yourself. I identify as a multicultural female, who is spiritual not religious. Immersing myself in art, nature and the vast mystery of it all is grounding for me. I have an appreciation for the intersecting philosophies of the world’s wisdom traditions.

I primarily work with women who are feeling emotionally drained, stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns, or who no longer recognize who they used to be. Many women I work with grew up learning to prioritize others’ needs, manage everyone else’s emotions, and silence their own. Over time, this can lead to relationships that are never quite fulfilling and create a constant sense of self-doubt or exhaustion. I support clients with strengthening their confidence, building their self-worth and ability to trust themselves, and to be able to create relationships that feel safe with healthier emotional boundaries.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I offer counseling and therapy services via Telehealth, to adult persons in Arizona and Washington State.

It provides convenience, accessibility, and a more comfortable setting for my clients to be more open and engaged.
