Hi there, I'm Jalessa!

If you're overwhelmed by pressure to appear in control or constantly put others first, you're not alone. My clients are seen as strong and successful but feel drained and frustrated. I specialize in helping people find peace, clarity, and fulfillment so you can prioritize yourself.

My focus

I primarily work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, and self-doubt, as well as those struggling with perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and self-esteem. I'm especially passionate about supporting individuals with racial, gender, and cultural identity challenges, and those facing relationship or life transition issues.

My approach

My therapeutic approach is warm, authentic, and adaptable to each client's unique needs and goals. I create a safe, non-judgmental space for exploring identity, emotions, and experiences. Using both Psychodynamic and Evidence-Based practices, I support clients in building self-awareness, resilience, and self-acceptance.
