Common modalities I use include EMDR, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused techniques, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Comprehensive Behavioral (ComB) Treatment for Skin Picking and Hair Pulling Disorders, Mindfulness, Neurofeedback therapy, and The Gottman Method for couples.
My clients come to therapy to navigate crises, process trauma, gain self-insight, and create action plans for a fulfilling life. Sometimes, they simply need a space to vent—and that’s just as important! Their ultimate goal is to explore their current thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and to boost confidence in themselves, their relationships, and their life direction. My approach is supportive, adaptable, investigative, and educational, tailored to each individual’s needs. I primarily work with adolescents and young adults.

As a Certified Synergetic Play Therapist (SPT), I am passionate about working with all ages, but spend most of my time working with children, adolescents, and families on a wide range of issues including: trauma/PTSD, ADHD, anxiety, depression, OCD, sibling conflict, self-harm, struggles unique to neurodivergent individuals, and identity/self esteem issues.
There is nothing more powerful than trusting yourself, believing that you can handle the bumps and valleys of life. I believe every single one of us has this resilience inside of us and sometimes we just need some gentleness, play, and connection in our mind and body to get back there. I will sit, stand, and play next to you in these hard feelings and I will do my best to bring authenticity and courage to the room together as you learn to trust and love yourself wholeheartedly.

Hey, I'm Jess! I work with people healing from trauma, OCD, and anxiety. Trauma impacts us in complex ways, often shaping how we see ourselves, others, and the world around us. It can leave us feeling stuck, even long after the original event. OCD and other anxiety disorders can also leave us feeling this way, making it difficult to engage with life the way we want to. But ultimately, these conditions do not define who you are, and I’m here to help you navigate the path to healing.

I am trained and experienced in supporting individuals suffering with anxiety, panic attacks, OCD, intrusive thoughts and life transitions. I work best with clients who value curiosity and intimacy with themselves and others. In my practice, I incorporate the notion that our bodies carry the story of past traumas, experiences and emotions that oftentimes surface as distressing thoughts and physiological symptoms. I go beyond conventional problem solving to integrate your thinking, feeling, sensing, and spiritual realms and offer a compassionate and nonjudgemental space for you to navigate these complexities and improve regulation.

We all experience pain and search for healing. This can be overwhelming to us and we can experience a lack of control or hope for the future. Our relationship with ourselves is often impacted, hurt, and internalized through our unbearable experiences of early life relationships. This can leave us feeling isolated and fearful to engage fully in life and with others. We often create subconscious strategies for managing this pain in search of safety and meaning. As we grow, many of the ways that we learned to cope with what was once unbearable begin to feel burdensome and overwhelming and we find ourselves needing something new.

I find people are far more capable and resilient than they realize. My approach to therapy is collaborative, eclectic and person-centered. Whether the challenge stems from anxiety, depression or conflict within your relationship, skills can be learned to navigate your life circumstance. Relationships make up the core of who we are as human beings and effort is needed to learn skills to communicate, have healthier conflict resolution or rebuild a relationship (with others and self).

Therapy can be a dynamic experience creating hope and energy. Facing challenges and grieving losses we inevitably face is a powerful step in moving toward a more satisfying present. I view therapy as a collaboration with you to create your transformation and growth. Our past experiences shape our view of ourselves and in turn our potential in the future. I hope to assist you to "re-author" the stories you have about yourself not serving a positive purpose and replace them with new stories, skills and a vision that do.

Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists
How long does OCD treatment take?
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is often treated on a weekly or twice-weekly schedule, depending on symptom severity and the client’s preferences. Some clients may start to see a noticeable improvement in symptoms in as little as six weeks, but it’s also possible, especially in more severe cases, for treatment to take several months to a year before significant progress is made.
What happens if OCD is not treated?
Some people with OCD, especially those with mild symptoms, may find that they are able to adapt reasonably well to life with the condition, even if their symptoms never resolve completely. However, many people, particularly those whose symptoms are severe at the outset, find that their obsessions and compulsions grow more intrusive with time, making it harder to maintain relationships, hold down a job, or navigate the world successfully.
Are there medications for OCD?
Medication can be used to treat OCD. The class of drugs most often prescribed are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, which include fluvoxamine (under the brand name Luvox), fluoxetine (Prozac), and sertraline (Zoloft), among others. In cases of treatment-resistant OCD, other classes of medication, such as tricyclic antidepressants or atypical antipsychotics, may be prescribed. Medication is frequently used in conjunction with therapy.
Can OCD come back after treatment?
Yes. Major life transitions, periods of stress, or other factors can cause symptoms to return or, if they were never fully eradicated, to ramp back up in intensity. For some, these relapses are brief and do not require additional treatment; identifying specific triggers and practicing the skills learned in therapy can help speed their course. For others, returning to therapy for a brief period can help address the underlying stress and strengthen coping mechanisms.
