Jessica’s therapeutic approach is collaborative, compassionate, and rooted in authenticity. She is a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP I & II) and is currently pursuing certification in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), an evidence-based modality proven effective for treating PTSD, anxiety, depression, phobias, and grief. Jessica tailors her work to each client’s individual needs, drawing from a diverse range of therapeutic approaches including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), trauma-informed mindfulness practices, and hypnotherapy when appropriate. She believes that true healing happens within a genuine, trusting relationship and that therapy should feel like a meaningful and respectful conversation grounded in empathy and human connection.

She is currently accepting new clients and offers both in-person and virtual sessions to ensure flexibility and accessibility.

For Jessica, therapy is more than symptom management—it’s about reclaiming your voice, rewriting old narratives, and building a life that feels authentic, grounded, and fulfilling. If you’re ready to begin that journey, she would be honored to walk alongside you.
