Jessica is honored to offer EMDR trauma therapy - an effective evidence-based way to overcome trauma - often in just a handful of sessions her clients begin to see life improvements. Jessica knows firsthand how effective EMDR therapy is after having attended her own EMDR therapy. Her personal experiences with EMDR inspired her to help others experience the same life changing healing effect. She weaves EMDR trauma therapy into her client’s treatment plan in order to help them find joy, happiness, peace, and contentment in their everyday lives. Jessica helps her clients recognize that all of us experience some form of trauma even with small relationship ruptures that can contribute to loneliness, difficulty connecting with others, or not enjoying your day to day life.
Jessica is passionate about raising mental health awareness. She is a proponent for encouraging everyone to do their own therapeutic work. She believes the movie “Joker” is a helpful call to end the stigma associated with mental health. Her personal mission is to advocate for the normalization of mental health. Whether you’re struggling with social connections, depression, anxiety - Jessica’s doors are open and you will never be defined by your mental health or medical diagnoses in her office. She formerly worked as a Family Based Therapist where she identified patterns in family systems that could be improved. In this role, she worked with children, adolescents, and their parents to identify healthy patterns that lead to connection and stability.
Additionally, Jessica helps her clients work through sensitive issues such as sexual health issues - including differences in desire, pelvic pain, and diverse sexual interests. Jessica encourages her clients to read the book “Come As You Are” by Emily Nagoski - which empowers women to reach their capacity to understand their bodies more and enjoy a vibrant sexual lifestyle. Whether you’re struggling with a past trauma history or just not sure how to begin to enjoy your sex life, Jessica is here to give you language to create sexual scripts and erotic templates to get the intimacy you want.
After the workday is over, you can find Jessica dancing - a lifelong hobby of hers. She believes dance is the soul’s way of processing emotions and releasing them. She also enjoys creating floral arrangements to share with her family and friends, or taking in the beauty of nature on long hikes with her family and fur-baby, Reyna, who brings joy into her life.
