More about Jessica

- Female
- LCSW-R
As a licensed therapist with over two decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex life challenges. My practice centers on helping clients navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, family conflicts, and grief with culturally sensitive and compassionate care.
I bring a deep understanding of multicultural experiences, focusing on issues like immigration, workplace dynamics, and young adult transitions. I honor each person's unique journey, particularly supporting women, caregivers, and individuals experiencing mood disorders, social anxiety, and attachment challenges. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and psychodynamic therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
My therapeutic work is rooted in creating meaningful connections, addressing communication barriers, exploring life purpose, and supporting emotional healing. I am committed to helping clients work through guilt, shame, forgiveness, and personal transformation. Whether you're dealing with life transitions, pregnancy, postpartum experiences, or navigating complex family dynamics, I provide a supportive and understanding environment.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
