LOOKING FOR A THERAPIST WHO CAN HELP YOU THRIVE?
You're in the right place.
Hi, I'm Jessica! I'm a licensed therapist who specializes in providing therapy for women who want to find balance and peace in their lives. I understand that you’ve worked hard for what you have and want to feel fulfilled in the life you’ve created. As a therapist, it's my goal that you are able to create a life that feels both fulfilling and sustainable.
I believe that people heal best when they have access to a space where they are seen, heard, and able to be their authentic selves. I create a collaborative, comfortable therapeutic space where you will feel engaged, supported, and appropriately challenged as you work towards your goals.
My hope for each client that I work with is that they can begin to explore their symptoms with a sense of compassion, and in doing so begin to understand their own stories from a place of strength and empowerment.
RECONNECT TO WHAT MATTERS MOST TO YOU
My Approach to Therapy
My approach to therapy for women is rooted in the idea that you are most empowered when you have access to the wisdom of you body; that patterns of disconnection and self-judgement are at the root of many experiences with anxiety, shame, overwhelm, and indecision.
I promote connection, curiosity, and self-compassion as a pathway towards healing and clarity. I believe that many of the concerns bringing you into therapy can be solved by slowing down, taking care of your body, and reconnecting with what matters most to you!
About My Clients
Many of my clients are busy, high-achieving and ambitious professional women who are seeking to reclaim balance in their lives. My clients struggle with unrealistic expectations that lead to frustration, overwhelm, and stagnation. They never quite feel “good enough” and are exhausted from trying to do it all.
Many of my clients are stuck in patterns of self-judgement and disconnection that impact their confidence and satisfaction. They often find that as they've worked hard to achieve the goals that have been set for them, they've lost touch with who they are and the vision they had for the future. While they may seem like they have it all together, my clients struggle with concerns like perfectionism, fears of failure, imposter syndrome, over-thinking, panic attacks, and people-pleasing that make maintaining their lives exhausting.
My Background and Experience
I graduated from Washington University in St. Louis with a concentration in Sexual Trauma and Empowerment. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Arizona and have been working with in the field of women’s mental health for over a decade. I have experience working in a variety of settings including women’s shelters and outreach programs, the criminal justice system, women’s reproductive health centers, eating disorder treatment centers, and outpatient private practices. My clinical experience and training have focused on women’s mental health in areas related to body image, sexuality, reproductive health, self-esteem, trauma, anxiety, stress, and relationships.
My Passions and Interests
My experiences as a woman, social worker, and therapist have taught me the importance of women having access to spaces where they are able to make informed, educated choices about their own bodies.
I am particularly passionate about empowering women to consciously engage in their sexual and reproductive health. As a therapist I create a safe, educated space for women to address sexual and reproductive concerns that impact their overall mental health and wellbeing including sexual dysfunction, infertility, and choices about if, when, or how to become a parent.
