Meet Jessica

Hello. First of all, thank you for taking the first step in caring for your mental health. I would be honored to walk alongside you in your personal journey. Seeking therapy can be stressful in itself, and I understand forming a trusting relationship in a safe space is one essential part of therapy. I value collaboration and finding strengths in your personal story. Deepening the understanding of our self concept and how we have known the world invites the opportunity to explore new attitudes moving forward in life events and relationships. 

 

I passionately believe in the mind body connection. Integrating cognitive approaches along with somatic approaches can be a key in alleviating symptoms and processing through challenges such as trauma, anxiety and depression. Bringing somatic approaches to the therapy may look like movement, yoga poses, breath-work  or mindfulness. These tools are not only helpful as coping skills to cultivate calmness day-to-day, but also for processing through past memories and overcoming obstacles.
