Are you concerned about your child's negative behaviors, sleep disturbances, or difficulties during a divorce?

This emotional focus can impact a child's ability to make effective decisions and express their feelings.

Hey, I’m glad that you are here. Believe it or not, this is the first step to a new beginning. My name is Jocelyn Bumpers and I believe that most human beings desire to be the best version of themself, no matter where we’ve been…or what we’ve been through. However, the issue is that we don’t know how to transform from who we are now to who we want to become. Whether you struggle with a personality disorder, suicidal ideation/urges to self harm, or experience the anxiety that is perfectionism and impostor syndrome. My intention and commitment is to assist, support, and encourage you as you overcome these challenges.

You’re holding everything together nicely on the outside - work, school, family, everyday tasks - but on the inside, you feel like you could break down at any moment. Perhaps you feel like you work hard at being perfect but never measure up to your own standards. Or maybe your anxiety and intrusive thoughts have become all-consuming, even scary. My goal is to help you find healing and wholeness, and silence that inner voice of worry and negativity. I believe no matter what you are experiencing, there is still hope, and I would love to support you and work with you to achieve your goals while creating a safe space for you to heal.

The pain and hurt you've experienced has made you want to retreat. To distrust and push away others. To feel like things will never get better. You are not defined by the worst things you’ve experienced. And you don’t need to stay stuck in a perpetual state of fear, waiting for the next bad thing to happen or believing this is as good as it gets. I help people find their strength to keep moving forward, to believe in themselves, to find their voice, to experience joy again.

Imagine that with some time you learn to trust me, but really trust me. You feel like you can be just as you are and like you don’t need to wear a mask, even in the midst of sharing a fear or being vulnerable. Imagine that when you are doing this I don’t run away or trivialize what is giving you trouble or how you hurt. Instead, I sit with you – sometimes over and over. There is no need to change or be different before I can accept you. Then, when it’s right, I will learn to attend to your troubles carefully and decisively.

My ideal client is a person who struggles with interpersonal relationships. For you, that could mean worrying often about being rejected or abandoned by the people in your life. It could mean ignoring your own needs to please others so they won't leave you. It could mean isolating to avoid letting others see the real you because you have fears of being unlovable. It could mean finding activities that provide numbing or distraction to avoid the pain you feel about being alone. I am especially passionate about working with young adults, survivors of sexual trauma, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

You are overwhelmed. You don't know how to keep up with the demands of life. You wonder, "how'd I get here?" You are sick and tired of being sick and tired.

My clients are compassionate, kind, and motivated to help everyone else in their lives but have lost touch with themselves. They have spent so long saying yes to everyone else the idea of saying no and possibly disappointing others is crippling.
