More about Jessica
- 4 years' experience

- LCMHC, LPC, LCPC
My childhood dream of talking to people all day has finally come true as a counselor. My mission is to intentionally empower others to thrive in whatever situations they experience or choose. I am particularly passionate about helping clients feel more engaged with life and encouraging them to make values-based decisions. I have experience with clients as young as 3 (and as old as 78) in community, college, court, and school settings. When not working, I volunteer, walk my pup, Sammy, and stay on the move as much as possible.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Ms. Jessica has been AMAZING! I've had prior negative experiences with therapy and was only following doctors orders when I started my sessions with her. I now can say that my experience with her has been completely positive and has encouraged me to continue my journey. I look forward to continuing to working with her!
Jessica was so accommodating from the get go and really helped me turn everything around. Felt like I was spiraling beforehand, but now I’m steadily improving upon my life.
Great job!
Jessica has been very helpful navigating stressful moments. Every time I talk to her, I feel better and more peaceful.
Ive only had one session, but I feel it went well.
Jessica has been very been very understanding and supportive while helping me to resolve a difficult issue in a personal relationship that I have encountered. She listens closely, develops an understanding of the situation, asks questions that change your point of view just enough so that you might see things a little differently, and she notices and acknowledges the positive steps you are taking and have taken to work through the issue you are facing. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a caring and supportive therapist.
Jessica is amazing she listens and gives me lots to think about and has really helped me with my anxiety.
I am terrible about messaging back daily, but Jessica doesn't make me feel pressured to do so.
Its always a calming and grounding experience when I have a session. Jessica is supper supportive and really listens to what I am saying.
Jessica is extremely supportive and validating. She has been very helpful in listening to and supporting me. She lets me go at my own pace and asks questions when necessary. She's great and I am so lucky to have found her!
Still getting to know each other, but so far so good!
I’ve only been working with Jessica for a couple of weeks, but she’s been amazing. She really listens to me, hears my problems, and offers thoughts and solutions for how to overcome them!
I've only been working with Jessica for a bit, but so far so good!
Jessica has been absolutely wonderful to talk to. I’ve never had any sort of counseling before and she has made it easy, engaging and thought provoking. I feel 100% comfortable and feel like it really is helping me each day. I would definitely recommend Jessica to anyone!
