Hi there, I'm Jessica!

I'm a Black/Filipina, bisexual-identified, neurodivergent psychotherapist and mom. I truly believe my lived experience informs how I hold space for clients. I specialize in supporting women navigating perinatal mental health challenges, as well as those managing OCD, social anxiety, and generalized anxiety.

My focus

I have a deep passion for working with BIPOC and/or LGBTQ+ clients who identify as women/femmes and non-binary, particularly Gen-Z and millennials. I also support those within those identities who are navigating postpartum transitions, relationship complexities, and sex-positive lifestyles with warmth and non-judgment.

My approach

I offer a safe, affirming space for healing at the intersections of multiple identities. My work uses evidence-based practices including ACT, ERP, DBT, person-centered therapy, and solution-focused approaches. Together, we'll explore intrusive thoughts and common worries while building practical tools for resilience and self-compassion.

My communication style

Clients often describe me as approachable, empathetic, and real (maybe a bit silly too?). I create a space that feels comfortably relaxed and meaningfully supportive: serious when needed, but always grounded in professionalism and authenticity. I also like to consider myself funny sometimes! My goal is to meet you where you are at!

My journey to mental healthcare

I've lived with anxiety, depression, and ADHD most of my life. In therapy, I experienced being truly seen and supported—a life-changing connection that inspired me to create that healing space for others. I know how rare it is to find an accessible Black or mixed-race female therapist, and this motivates me to serve my community with compassion.

Our first session

The first session will consist of a full intake and assessment, where I will be asking you a variety of questions about yourself, your background, what brought you to therapy, and your goals. Be as open as you'd like!
