The First Step
Welcome to the first step on your path to healing! If you’re looking for a therapist, you’ve already taken a significant step forward. It takes courage to acknowledge your struggles, explore their underlying causes, and work toward personal growth and healthier relationships. I am deeply passionate about supporting individuals who bravely commit to this journey, and I am honored to walk alongside you as you navigate these challenges.
Therapy at a glance
Whether you’re coping with trauma, relationship conflicts, or simply striving to maintain your emotional well-being, therapy can be a powerful tool for growth and healing. Through a structured and supportive process, I help individuals, couples, and families navigate emotional challenges, behavioral patterns, and psychological concerns.
A cornerstone of my practice is creating a safe and confidential space where you can express your thoughts, fears, and vulnerabilities without judgment. My role is to listen with empathy, equip you with practical tools to manage emotions, and help you handle conflict with confidence and maturity.
Whether in the context of couples counseling or individual counseling, the ultimate goal is for you to develop a stronger sense of self and the ability to manage both internal and external challenges independently. You can learn more about my approach to therapy here.
Jessica’s Concentrations
Over the last 14 years, I have partnered with many individuals, couples, and families to provide them with the tools and guidance to solve some of the deepest challenges.
My areas of expertise are marriage/couples counseling, pre-marital counseling, blended and nuclear families, parenting challenges, young adult counseling, anxiety/depression struggles, and divorce recovery.
Marriage Counseling
Marriage is challenging. Even healthy marriages can benefit from counseling. Whether yours is going through a crisis, simply hit a rocky patch, or you just want to grow closer, good marriage therapy is always recommended.
Christian Counseling
You can either decline or request that faith be a part of your therapy process. As a professional counselor and Christian, I am trained to fuse theology with research-backed psychology to help guide you through life’s trials. It is an honor to be a witness to God’s healing and restorative power in my client’s lives.
Pre-Marital Counseling
Pre-marital counseling can help build strong communication, set realistic expectations, and address potential conflicts early on. The process helps develop mutual understanding and equips couples with tools for a healthier, lasting relationship.
Blended Families
Joining two families together is a beautiful thing, but it obviously comes with unique challenges. Conflicts between spouses and children are common in this complex dynamic. As part of a blended family myself, I can understand, and have helped many stepfamilies navigate toward “blending” well.
Divorce Recovery
Unwinding from a failed marriage is often accompanied by various stages of grief, as well as fear of what the future holds. It can turn your world upside down and it is difficult to go through alone. I will listen and assist you on the road to recovery and rebuilding your life.
Anxiety & Depression
The root cause of anxiety and depression is often deep. As a professional therapist I will not only help you recognize the triggers and give you the proper tools to manage or overcome anxiety and depression, but I will also work with you to unearth deeper root causes, with hopes for long-term healing.
Parenting
Raising children is certainly the hardest, yet most rewarding experience there is in life! As a certified Positive Discipline Parent Educator, I have coached many parents through behavioral and relational challenges with their children, at all stages of development.
