Hi there, I'm Jessica!

I believe that healing is possible for everyone. My passion is helping people discover their strength, resilience, and ability to grow through life's challenges. I've worked with survivors of trauma, youth in foster care, immigrant families, and individuals navigating anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

My focus

I work with adults, teens, children, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, family conflict, and major life transitions. I collaborate with clients using CBT, DBT, and trauma-focused practices to create practical tools for healing and resilience in ways that honor their cultural and personal values.

My approach

I use a blend of evidence-based therapies, including Trauma-Focused CBT, Interpersonal Therapy, and other supportive approaches. But more than techniques, I believe in creating a space where you feel heard, safe, and supported. Therapy with me is collaborative and compassionate—we work together at your pace, focusing on what matters most to you.

My communication style

Clients often describe me as warm, approachable, and easy to talk to. I create a safe space where you can be open and feel understood without judgment. I'm compassionate and encouraging, while also being direct when it's helpful. I aim to provide honest feedback and practical tools you can apply right away.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist grew from a commitment to helping people feel seen and supported. Working with foster youth, trauma survivors, and immigrant families, I witnessed the power of resilience. These experiences inspired me to pursue advanced training to offer evidence-based strategies in a compassionate, culturally sensitive space.

My goals for you

We'll set clear, realistic goals that reflect what you want to work on—whether that's reducing anxiety, improving relationships, or managing difficult emotions. Using approaches like CBT and DBT, I'll help you break down challenges into manageable steps, practice new coping skills, and track your progress over time so you can see real change.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll get to know each other and discuss what brings you to therapy. I'll create a safe space where you can share at your own pace. I'll ask about your background, current concerns, and hopes for therapy. Together, we'll set a direction that feels right for you.
