I’m Jessica -
I’ve always been the calm in the storm…the person others turned to when life felt too heavy to carry alone. Over the years, that natural tendency evolved into a professional calling. As a Licensed Professional Counselor and trauma-informed therapist, I specialize in helping people move from surviving to thriving. Whether you're dealing with the silent weight of anxiety, the exhaustion of chronic stress, or the lingering pain of trauma, I offer a safe, virtual space where you don’t have to explain away your struggles. You can just be.
I know that healing doesn’t happen overnight. But I also know it’s possible, because I’ve seen my clients rebuild their confidence, rediscover their voice, and create a life with more ease and intention. I’ve built my practice to meet people exactly where they are; offering flexible, judgment-free support from someone who truly understands what it’s like to feel overwhelmed but still want more out of life.
WHO I HELP
My clients are in all ages in all stages of their healing journey. Whether you’re a college student feeling anxious and unsure of your next step, or a seasoned caregiver on the edge of burnout, my services are tailored to meet your unique needs.
You may be carrying the weight of everyone else’s needs and feeling like there’s no space left for your own.
Perhaps you’re struggling with unresolved trauma or constant stress as you try to balance work, family, and the pressure to keep it all together.
You deserve a therapist who truly gets it.
Someone who meets you with compassion, steadiness, and the clinical skill to walk with you through life’s hardest seasons.
I’ve always been the “mama bear,” the one others leaned on in times of stress or uncertainty. Becoming a therapist felt like a natural extension of that calling. Today, I specialize in helping people heal from trauma, manage anxiety, and navigate major life transitions and stressors, without shame, pressure, or pretense.
With advanced training in EMDR, CBT, and mindfulness-based approaches, I offer trauma-informed virtual therapy that’s flexible, supportive, and tailored to you. My clients often tell me they value my calm energy, honest insight, and unwavering belief that healing is possible…even if it doesn’t feel like it today.
I know how heavy things can feel, and I want you to know this: You don’t have to face it alone. You will get through this, and we’ll do it together.
Compassionate, Non-Judgmental Support
I show up with a calm presence, honest insight, and genuine care, creating a space where you don’t have to have it all figured out. My approach is trauma-informed and grounded in empathy, so you can feel safe enough to explore what’s really going on beneath the surface without fear of being judged or rushed.
Evidence-Based Practices
I integrate EMDR, CBT, and mindfulness-based techniques to support deep, lasting healing. These evidence-based tools help us process trauma, shift unhelpful thought patterns, and build coping skills you can use in real life, whether you're managing anxiety, recovering from burnout, or navigating major life transitions.
Empowering Clients to Achieve Their Goals
I believe therapy should feel like a partnership, not a prescription. My role is to walk alongside you, helping you reconnect with your strengths, clarify what matters most, and take meaningful steps toward the life you want. You set the pace and the goals and I provide the support, structure, and tools to help you get there.
What You Can Expect Working with Me
In our sessions, you can expect a safe, non-judgmental space where your feelings are validated, and your goals are prioritized. We'll work together to create a personalized plan that addresses your specific needs and helps you achieve balance and confidence to face life’s challenges.
ONE | Let’s Start with a Conversation
Every journey begins with a single step. That’s why I offer a free 15-minute consultation where we can talk about what’s been going on, answer your questions, and see if we’re the right fit.
TWO | Personalized Support
We will create a customized therapy plan tailored to your goals, strengths, and needs. Together, we’ll work at your pace using evidence-based strategies to help you reduce stress, navigate challenges, and feel more like yourself again. You can expect a collaborative, compassionate process that leads to meaningful and lasting change.
THREE | Experience Real and Lasting Change
As we continue working together, you can expect to feel more empowered, grounded, and confident in your ability to handle life’s challenges. You'll build insight, develop healthy coping tools, and begin creating the balanced, fulfilling life you deserve.
Why I Do This Work
My passion for helping YOU stems from witnessing how often the “strong ones” are overlooked when they’re silently struggling. I believe that healing happens in safe, connected spaces where you're met with both compassion and clarity. My goal is to help you feel grounded, supported, and empowered to create a life that feels more manageable, meaningful, and truly your own.
