Hi I'm Jess!
I help my clients process and heal pain and mental illness and then find their strengths and purpose so they can live life to the fullest.
I believe there is power in authenticity and vulnerability, so I will tell you that much of my motivation and therapeutic expertise stem from my own life journey. During my childhood, I faced adversity, including abuse and trauma, which led to struggles with depression, addiction, anxiety, and PTSD. However, through dedication and resilience, I embarked on a path of recovery. Along this journey, I acquired valuable strategies and resources that guided me out of darkness and into a life filled with love, joy, and connection.
I have been able to lift myself up from the lowest and darkest of places to become a helper. I firmly believe that my clients have the same potential for growth and thriving. As Marcus Aurelius wisely said, 'What stands in the way becomes the way.' My passion is to assist others in navigating their challenges, transforming adversity into opportunities for growth and fulfillment.
