how she works
Jessica is passionate about helping clients set goals to work towards a healthier version of themselves, as she believes this approach helps clients move at their own pace. Jessica will help clients be confident in this journey, as well as be proud of the authentic version of themselves they discover as they reach their goals in therapy.
Jessica also employs a Cognitive Behavioral approach in helping clients work towards their goals, as together they reframe negative thoughts in order to inform future actions. Jessica also works within a psychodynamic framework to ensure her client work has a holistic context, as each client's individual story informs the goals they set in their therapeutic journey.
She is excited to celebrate the wins that her clients work towards and is there for them every step of the way.
