Jessica has been such a gift to my overall mental health. Our sessions always give me new perspectives on the dilemmas that arise. Helping guide me to solutions either by example or through her wealth of experience. She finds a common thread by building on the principles of recovery. I came into the sessions with angst along with grief. I've already noticed my ability to see myself through situations that used to baffle me. I highly recommend her. She’s Golden!

Hello, I'm Jessica. I'm a licensed therapist in Washington with 19 years of experience in mental health, most of that working with individuals experiencing crisis. I have experience helping clients process trauma and abuse, manage anxiety and depression, cope with grief and loss, and navigate relationships with others.
In my work with individuals and couples I've found that current difficulties and stress usually have roots in past situations that you've survived but not fully worked through. I am here to provide perspective and support and assist you to find the patterns in your life and name them.
I am available to meet with clients on Mondays (all day) and most Sundays (in the afternoon/evening). If those times and days work with your schedule, I would be happy to meet with you.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Jessica is the greatest.
Jessica is kind, patient, responsive and caring. She makes me feel heard and understood. She’s really helping me grow and heal in way I’m comfortable with.
This is the first therapist I felt was really interested in helping me through my issues. I’ve seen counselors before and wasn’t stoked about doing “video therapy”, but so far this has been great and I highly recommend Jessica.
