Is pornography, sexual compulsivity, or infidelity destroying your marriage? Feeling hurt, angry, betrayed? Want things to change but not sure how? You might try to deny that there really is a problem, but the worries that wake you in the middle of the night tell a different story. If you're tired of fighting the same battles and no longer believe the promises that next time will be different, the task ahead of you may seem overwhelming - but hope and help are available.

Now accepting new clients in-person and virtually! Are you feeling stagnant or feel as though you have lost a piece of yourself? Often times life circumstances can cause us to lose motivation and hope. Which may prevent us from fulfilling our life purpose. I find that bringing the unconscious into conscious awareness can be a powerful tool for healing. When we ignore the hidden parts of self, this can often lead to depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and many other self-destructive patterns. My goal is to help clients understand the root of their concerns through changing self-defeating patterns and learning to let go.

Now Accepting NEW Clients! I think of myself as solution-oriented and I feel privileged to be able to support and witness clients grow and overcome challenges they face in their day-to-day lives.

My educational and professional background has afforded me the experience of supporting clients with various concerns such as anxiety, depression, anger, self-esteem, grief & loss, and relationship issues–to name a few.

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.

I am a mother of 2 boys, ages 21 and 25. I truly enjoyed every minute of raising them, even the hard moments. My oldest son is now married and in Seattle with his wife. My youngest is the fireball who has DiGeorge syndrome. It was challenging many times, but I have been his advocate through his entire life and still am to this day. I am now an empty nester with just my sweet dog Dixon, an American Eskimo.
