Jessica is a Licensed Professional Counselor who is passionate about helping others develop a stronger sense of self-awareness, direction, and balance in their daily lives. Jessica earned her Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from UW-Oshkosh in 2014. She believes that creating a therapeutic relationship built on trust, emotional safety, and vulnerability is the foundation for meaningful growth and lasting change. Her hope is to create a space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported as they work toward the life and relationships they want.

Jessica enjoys working with individuals, couples, children, and families experiencing a variety of challenges. She draws from evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Gottman Method, and Brainspotting. She also incorporates attachment theory, family systems, and psychodynamic perspectives to better understand the experiences, relationships, and patterns that may be influencing clients' lives today. Jessica takes a client-centered, strengths-based, and trauma-informed approach, recognizing that each person's experiences and needs are unique. Jessica especially enjoys working with individuals who are working on improving relationships, managing emotions, and adjusting to life transitions.

Jessica has extensive experience working with children and adolescents experiencing a variety of challenges, including behavioral and emotional difficulties in the home and school settings. She values the importance of involving parents and family members in the therapeutic process, believing that some of the most meaningful growth happens through strengthening the child-parent relationship and supporting positive changes within the family system. Jessica also takes a holistic approach to mental health, with additional training in integrative mental health, including the role of nutrition, stress management, mindfulness, and lifestyle factors in overall well-being. She enjoys helping clients explore these areas alongside traditional clinical approaches when appropriate.

Jessica finds joy and fulfillment in walking alongside others on their therapy journey. She believes meaningful growth happens when we feel supported, understood, and connected, both to ourselves and to the people around us. She would be honored to have the opportunity to walk alongside you as you work toward greater understanding, healing, and positive change.
