Meet the owner
Hi there — I’m Jessica, a licensed mental health therapist who believes therapy doesn’t have to feel like a chore (and yes, we can laugh and heal at the same time). I specialize in helping people navigate anxiety, depression, and life transitions — the big, the small, and the ones that make you question everything in between. Whether you’re a teen figuring out who you are, an adult juggling too many roles, or someone just trying to get unstuck, my goal is to help you find clarity, confidence, and a sense of calm. In our sessions, expect genuine connection, honest conversations, and a few laughs along the way.
I believe that humor is one of our best coping tools — it helps us stay grounded, open up, and see things from a fresh perspective. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to you. I draw from evidence-based practices like CBT, mindfulness, and solution-focused therapy, but I always keep things real and human.
Life is messy — therapy should help you make sense of it, not add to the chaos. If you’re ready to laugh, cry, and grow, sometimes all in the same session, let’s talk. Texting is preferred, as I am in sessions throughout the day.
