Hi there, I'm Jessica!
I have been working in community mental health for 18 years and have focused my clinical lens on treating trauma, anxiety, depression, and substance mis/use, utilizing DBT, ACT, and Harm Reduction. My goal as your therapist is to support you in developing an authentic relationship with yourself.
My focus
Therapy is typically only an hour a week, so clients need to practice skills outside of therapy to see progress. If you are coming to therapy, I assume it's because your ways of doing things have not been working and you are open to taking NEW steps to make improvement/change. Your engagement and willingness to do the work = results!
My approach
Self-awareness is foundational to healing and change. For this reason, I primarily utilize DBT and ACT in therapy. ACT focuses on personal values informing actions without focusing on trying to "fix" thoughts and feelings. A positive relationship with your provider supports progress in treatment; I will follow your lead to build trust and rapport.
