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.

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.

I have advanced trainings in DBT therapy for stress management as well as EMDR for trauma.
Good therapy is about having a voice and working towards positive change. Are you tired of doing things on your own? What if you could live your life without basing who you are/how you feel on the opinion of others, words, or, memories of the past? Trauma, relationships, addiction/substance use, anxiety, depression, self-doubt, and/or watching loved ones struggle with either addiction or mental illness can all have major impacts on our ability to live our best lives. I've been in the industry over a decade and have been an acting clinical director over a 10 location mental health/substance use company for years.

I use EMDR, Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy, Emotional Freedom Technique (tapping), mindfulness and other somatic modalities that address both the cognitive and limbic parts of the brain.
I never thought I would be a therapist. I found this profession by going through my own personal pain and struggles. These included depression, debilitating social anxiety, general anxiety and a life changing existential crisis. Through the help of some amazing people, I found my way out and I now have a passion to help others. I believe that the most powerful therapeutic relationship is human to human. Yes, I am licensed professional, but more importantly I am another human being that has been in the shit. I will always wear this on my sleeve, as it is the sole reason that I became a counselor.

Who is EMDR for?
EMDR was initially developed as a treatment for individuals with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for whom memories of a deeply distressing experience can be inadvertently triggered by random everyday events. The procedure has since been applied in the treatment of many other conditions. For example, it is used by some therapists to treat anxiety disorders including panic and phobias, depression, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and some personality disorders. It is suitable for adolescents and adults.
Why do people need EMDR?
People need EMDR as a way to manage distressing memories that in some way hamper the ability to function in the present. The procedure is believed to target the way memories are stored in the brain. Evidence indicates that past disturbing experiences cause ongoing distress because they were not adequately processed, and when such memories are triggered in the present, they are accompanied by all the emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations as the initial experience.
What problems does EMDR treat?
First and foremost, EMDR is intended as a treatment for PTSD, to defuse distressing memories that intrude on and impair everyday functioning. It is also often used to help those who are subject to panic attacks, phobias, and other forms of anxiety. In addition, EMDR has been used to treat individuals with depression, eating disorders, and personality disorders.
What happens in EMDR therapy?
First the therapist takes an individual’s history, and then the therapist and client decide which distressing experience(s) will be the target(s) of the exercise, delivered via a side-to-side visual stimulus requiring lateral eye movements. The client will be asked to activate thoughts, feelings, and any body sensations related to the troubling experience. The eye movements are said to reduce the emotional charge of the memory, so that the experience can then be safely discussed with the therapist and digested, minimizing its ability to trigger anxiety.
