The body is our greatest ally in the healing process,
as it holds the wisdom and resources necessary for healing.

“I have been a patient of Jessica for nearly 10 years. She is personable, relatable, and an all around amazing therapist. She's seen me at my lowest lows and helped me gain the confidence I needed in myself to grow to my highest highs, never once making me feel judged or ashamed for anything. She has always created a safe, judgment free space to express myself, giving healthy, unbiased guidance, and is patient while helping you work through anything you need to. I would recommend her to anyone.”

“Before starting therapy with Jessica I had started working with several therapists in the past, only to get too nervous and end my therapeutic relationship early. Jessica helped me to make progress towards diagnosis and recovery at my own pace, so I was able to stick with therapy and actually commit to improving my mental health. If I have rough patches now, I am able to manage them in a way that I never would have thought was possible even just a year ago!”

"Right from the beginning Jessica made talking about things, even the most personal, very easy. Seeing her on my lunch hour or right from home through telehealth is convenient. She gives you time to talk and work through your emotions, while also providing tools and tips to help overcome any obstacles you may be facing. Jessica has allowed me to see that I am not a burden, feelings are only temporary, and that you can achieve anything that you put your mind to."
