“Courage doesn’t happen when you have all the answers. It happens when you are ready to face the questions you have been avoiding your whole life.”
“Jessica strives to think “outside the box” and use creativity in her therapeutic approach in order to best meet the needs of her clients. She values collaboration and partnership with her clients as a way to guide them on their journey of self-discovery and healing. Her ability to listen and communicate with compassion and understanding is validating, reassuring, and offers glimmers of hope for a healthy future.”
“Jessica brings the same warmth, compassion, and authenticity into supervision that I imagine she brings into her therapeutic relationships – it is just who she is. She is supportive, knowledgeable, and fiercely passionate about doing her part to help the “next generation” of counselors – which means she will not only hold space for you in supervision each week, but she will also regularly flood your inbox with valuable information on trainings, articles, job opportunities and anything else counseling-related that she believes will interest you. I regularly speak to fellow LPC-Interns and consistently feel so grateful for the supervision model Jessica has created!”
“Jessica is a born teacher and mentor. Unfailingly, she equips rising clinicians with invaluable skills and the confidence to apply them in real practice. Jessica is a secret weapon for new graduates”
“I have known Jessica for over 10 years, and I have found her to be creative, innovative, and dedicated in all that she does. She is an outstanding counselor and behavioral health specialist whose evidence-based practice is strengthened by her empathy and ability to connect with clients. I would be confident referring friends and family members to her, as I know she would treat them with care, respect, and professionalism.”
“With creativity, humor, collaboration, and infinite curiosity, Jessica walks alongside clients as they gain deeper understanding about their truths and bring about change in their lives. Working with Jessica is a truly meaningful and supportive process.”
“Jessica has a brilliant mind, a big heart, and the ability to put anyone at ease–exactly what you want in a clinician! If you are considering therapy, you’ll be in very safe and skilled hands with her.”
