Hi, I’m Jess.

As a therapist, I feel grateful and proud to be in the field. I believe counseling is a collaborative process – one rooted in compassion, honesty, and a strong sense of care. My style is steady and attuned; I offer both gentle presence and thoughtful challenge. I honor the many ways we come back to ourselves.

As a human, I believe you did the brave thing of looking up a therapist, so I’m going to do the brave thing of meeting you here, where you can find me.

I love to be outside, to bask in both its abundance and exposure. I have a bird-like nature to nest; I delight in designing spaces — for me, for you, for my beloved community in all of its forms. I design books, craft recipes, take photographs. I’m drawn to the power of words and color — how they hum, clash, and surprise.

I find immense pleasure in the bite of fresh cilantro, squinting into unexpected sunlight, my dog’s morning stretch routine, the texture of a handmade thing, how shared laughter peels and unfolds, the way memories smell.

I value humor, authenticity, and beauty that isn’t polished but real.

This is the year I begin learning drums and bravely grow out a pixie cut.

I’m someone who has a therapist.

I’m someone who gets to be a therapist, maybe even yours.

I tell you all of this to offer a real piece of myself in service of you, of your hopes, wants, and needs. It’s one of the ways I know how to begin building trust. I can’t wait to hear from you.
