Jessie approaches counseling with a deep appreciation for the unique ways each of us works to embrace happiness, process pain, and pursue growth. We all have a rich history of experiences to integrate and, the reality is, at times, that can seem a monumental endeavor; to Jessie, this is where counseling comes in.

She believes counseling is about bolstering your strengths, purposefully leaning into your pain, refining your life tools to more effectively manage the anxiety, depression, emotional distress, grief, illness, loss, relationship challenges, transitions, trauma, etc., and helping you to accept, honor, and respect yourself in ways that are fulfilling and meaningful.

Perhaps it’s also being a professional massage therapist for nearly two decades, but Jessie enjoys integrating multiple therapeutic approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and strength-based elements, to encourage healing. She enjoys learning from you what is working (and what is not). Each session is tailored to who you are, in that moment, and what it is that you are needing - be it as an individual, a couple, or a family.
