I work from a critical psychology perspective, and am trained in a variety of modalities, including psychodynamic psychotherapy, focusing-oriented psychotherapy, mindfulness, mentalization-based therapy, and CBT.
Life can lead us to existential confusion, self-doubt, and seeming psychological impasses that can affect our relationships, careers, creative life, and health. Behavioral patterns can seem intractable, and past trauma can resurface in the present, making day-to-day stressors a burden. I will collaborate with you on cultivating a non-judgmental curiosity about your experience, both past and present, and on finding more freedom and agency to lead life in a fulfilling and healthy way.

Through a blend of Mindfulness, "parts work," EMDR, and acceptance and commitment therapy, I hold space for my clients to identify, feel, and accept their feelings while recognizing what is within their power to change.
Striving for mental health and wellness in a society with as many issues as ours is hard. Finding a therapist to support you in that, can sometimes feel even harder. What criteria do you base your decision on? Degrees, years in practice, areas of expertise, whether they still meet people in person... But what a profile and your research cannot tell you, happens to be the most important criteria: if the two of you will "fit.” The best and quickest way to know for certain is to schedule the appointment.

As a certified yoga teacher, I often include Mindfulness-based CBT and other techniques that allow my clients to find peace within themselves.
The first step to mental wellness is recognizing that we are just not ourselves. While many of us acknowledge this, so few of us are bold and courageous enough to take the next step, especially those of us in the BIPOC community. Seeking help does not make you weak, it is actually a sign of strength. Life doesn't always go as planned and you might feel like you've lost your way. You are not alone. Many people are experiencing mental unrest and uncertainty, especially in this post-COVID era.

LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE! A phrase we often hear but seldom get to experience fully. And why? Because oftentimes people are going through life SURVIVING instead of truly LIVING. We make choices out of fear instead of love. When we are in SURVIVAL mode, we think only to stabilize ourselves in the moment. We may feel anxious, depressed, angry, or burnout. We may struggle with isolation, substance misuse, relationships, or risky behavior. In LIVING mode we are able to regulate our emotions appropriately, communicate effectively with others, maintain boundaries, practice self care, feel safe in our own body and THRIVE.

I practice from an integrative lens, in which I weave aspects from various therapeutic modalities including psychodynamic theory, CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and positive psychology.
Therapy begins with a curiosity. Perhaps you want to understand why you are feeling the way you do, you feel stuck in a particular pattern, or you are feeling a pull to deepen your understanding of yourself and your relationships with others. There are certain universal threads we all share - our desire and need to connect with others, a call to create, our desire to discover a sense of purpose and make our unique mark, and our desire to find joy and presence. I am here to guide you in finding meaning and fulfilment where you seek it.

Come as you are. Psychotherapy is a safe and private place to explore the issues preventing you from living a more productive, meaningful, happier life. I'm aware that it takes an incredible amount of courage to walk into a therapy room and share things that require great vulnerability. My approach is person-centered, empathic and flexible, meeting clients where they are in their lives and helping them to identify and work on areas they would like to change or explore. I utilize supportive, mindfulness based and existential therapies with some use of CBT and thoughtfully inserted levity.

Jessica’s approach is supportive, grounded in mindfulness and attention towards somatic experience happening in the here-and-now, focusing on relationships.
Have your previous experiences with therapy left you not quite satisfied? Did simply talking about your difficulties seem to lose its impact after a while? Or perhaps you feel like you stayed with a therapist for longer than you wished without much improvement? If you deeply desire personal growth and are motivated to dedicate energy towards achieving it, true lasting change is within reach. Using Internal Family Systems therapy, Jessica will assist you in moving beyond the painful patterns you have already talked through and shine new awareness on what lies beneath.
