I have transformed so much for the better with Jessica's support. I'm so grateful for her and everything she's guided me through. She's helped me gain so much in terms of self-love and self-advocacy. Whenever I tell my friends the wise nuggets from Jessica, they always tell me that I have the best therapist, and I agree. She really listens and tells me what I need to hear to help me best navigate life's tough moments in a way that are truly in integrity with me. I highly recommend her!

I believe we are all capable of more than we think we are, and my job is to help you do those hard things!

The fact that you’re here, reading this, is a win for you!
I have been practicing psychotherapy for 13 years in various clinical settings. I have experience helping adults cope with depression, anxiety, interpersonal relationships, life transitions, parenting issues, vocational issues, anger management, trauma, abuse, and grief. I practice cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which examines the relationship between your thoughts and the feelings that those thoughts cause. I also teach stress relief, which frankly we all need, in the form of relaxation techniques and mindfulness. I can help you reduce your worries and stress, adjust to change, reach your personal goals, and find short and long-term solutions to the problems you’re struggling with.
I'm glad you're here with me on this journey!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
