About Jessica
I have experience working in treatment, community, group, and correctional settings with adolescents, young adults, and adults. Primary clinical approaches include evidence-based therapies focused on generating behavioral results. I have an in-depth understanding of the mental health issues that arise from incarceration and the stressors associated with navigating the post-incarceration process.
I specialize in working with complex behavioral issues such as: conduct disorders, addition, sexual behavioral problems, and personality disorders. Other issues I specialize in include Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, and adolescent, young adult, and transitional issues.
The decision to come to therapy can be overwhelming, especially when current approaches are not successful. If you are results-oriented and are willing and open to challenge yourself I encourage you to contact me. I am currently accepting new clients.

Approaches · Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
How does cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) work and how can it help?
Cognitive behavioral therapy is especially helpful for clients looking to resolve their issues and create long-term behavioral change. This approach will give you the tools to identify and examine your thoughts and beliefs, which may be unhelpful or untrue. You will learn to restructure your thoughts and beliefs so that they are both helpful and true, allowing for you to change and improve the way you feel. You will also learn to break down problems into smaller, more achievable parts allowing you to build behavioral momentum and ultimately improve the way you feel.
About Me
For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?
The decision to enter therapy can be incredibly overwhelming. Therapy is a unique experience tailored to the you and your specific needs. In session you will have the opportunity to guide the therapeutic process as you are comfortable. You will feel encouraged, validated, and supported.
About Me
What do therapy sessions with you look like?
I believe that the goal of therapy is to address the problem by exploring how the issue developed and creating a specific plan to move forward. In session, you will feel encouraged and supported, but you will also be appropriately challenged. These challenges may cause you to feel uncomfortable, but it is important to remember that, through discomfort, comes change. I am a firm believer that most of the progress and change happens outside of the session. Therefore, I rely heavily on homework assignments, skills development, and community resources. During the intake session, we can talk more about specific techniques that are most helpful for you.
