You keep thinking that this is just a stage or a passing behavior your child is going through. You stay up late searching online for books, articles, and social media posts looking for something new to try because nothing you do is working to help your child. The meltdowns, temper tantrums, yelling and the power struggles in your home are not how you pictured family life. It's too much noise, too much stress and the chaos is draining your energy. This is not the adventure you signed up for or learned about in Parenting 101. It's time for change.

The way in which we cope with the world is greatly influenced by the way in which we see the world. Therapy can be a safe, non-judgmental space to explore opportunities for change, recognize our strengths, and navigate challenges in our lives. My role as a counselor is to advocate and provide support for clients who are seeking growth, change, and well-being in their lives. I enjoy working with children, adults, and families as they process and heal from trauma while learning more effective coping skills, healthier communication skills and boundaries, and working towards a happier and healthier version of themselves.

I work with adults, children, families, and couples to help bring connection and healing through times of uncertainty and stress; whether that be suffering from depression, anxiety, or phase of life issues.
Choosing to seek outside support is not an easy step, but one that shows great courage and strength. We each carry our own experiences that are shaped by our families, our social and cultural identities, as well as our own internal values and goals. But let’s talk real for a second, being human in a perfectionist world is not an easy walk. Life experiences can bring challenges where we begin to feel disconnected from others, ourselves, and even from our experiences. I come from a perfectionistic background where my sense of grace was given to others, but not to myself. I understand the struggle of self-esteem issues, and depression.

Hey, most people call me Jess. I believe counseling is a mutual relationship. I view each person I see as the expert in their lives and I am in the passenger seat. My approach to counseling is holistic; every person is different, therefore every counseling approach does not work for everyone. I will take the time to work with you to find what works best for you. Since everyone is different; if a client and I do not mesh well, I will help them to find a counselor who works better for them.
