Therapeutic Approach

Jess aims to provide a safe, empathetic space where clients feel comfortable being their authentic selves. Her approach is rooted in the belief that a strong, genuine therapeutic relationship is the foundation for meaningful growth. She strives to create a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgemental environment where clients feel heard, supported, and respected. She views therapy as a shared process in which clients bring their lived experience, and she brings curiosity, clinical insight, and a commitment to client’s wellbeing, and aspires to tailor the therapeutic process to each individual’s unique needs. She is interested in person-centered, cognitive-behavioral, and play and expressive art as her therapeutic approaches. Jess enjoys working with children, adolescents, and adults.
