Hi, I’m Jess.

I’m here because I am a therapist offering sessions in-person for individuals and couples in Portland, Oregon.

Accepting New Clients •

I work with people going through it: overwhelmed, stuck, untethered; people who are grieving; navigating life transitions, from the planned to the surprised and the unexpected; exploring identities, seeking meaning; people rewilding their trust; people who are curious about change, curious for more, people returning to their full aliveness.

You’re here because . . . well, you get to tell me.

Maybe you’re here because you see parts of yourself in some of the following . . .

I am somehow both too much and not enough • I don’t know how to slow down • I’m restless • I have difficulty identifying my own needs • I struggle to ask for help • I’m exhausted • I think I overthink • I like to wander • I’m drawn to nature • I connect deeply with animals • I’m good at being there for others • I daydream • I need to get the words just right • I feel stuck, sometimes even trapped • I’m disconnected from myself • I feel scared of my own anger • I retreat when things feel overwhelming • I often feel misunderstood • I have so much to say but can’t find my voice • I can’t remember how to trust • I want what feels more and more like a fantasy • I feel lonely • I feel lost • I’m unsure of where to go from here •

Finding your therapist can be a real challenge.

I offer an invitation; there’s no pressure to have the right words, wants, or needs.

If something here speaks to you, that’s enough to begin.
