About Jessica

###Meet Jessica ###Child, Adolescent & Family Therapist “Without relationship, there is no influence.” -Unknown I first came across this quote taped above my supervisor’s desk during my Master of Social Work practicum, and it has guided my practice ever since. I approach every client relationship with curiosity, acceptance, and non-judgment. My belief in your innate capacity for healing grounds the work we do together — I am here to walk alongside you as a witness and guide through life’s challenges. For the past six years, I have focused on supporting children, adolescents, and their families through a range of mental health concerns, including attachment disruptions, peer difficulties, family conflict, grief after significant loss, anticipatory grief following a life-limiting diagnosis, and major life transitions. I understand the family as a system — when one member is affected, the whole family feels it. Together, we’ll explore your concerns and create a support plan tailored to your family’s unique needs. In my work with children, I use a blend of directive and non-directive therapeutic play and expressive arts techniques. Play is the natural language of children — it’s how they process experiences, build skills, and relate to others. When guided by a trained therapeutic play practitioner, this approach empowers children to navigate challenges, develop coping strategies, and reach developmental milestones, all without relying on adult-level language or reasoning. My goal is to create a therapeutic space where your child feels safe, heard, and free to express themselves. I offer individual sessions for children (ages 7+), adolescents, and adults, as well as parent coaching sessions to equip you with tools and strategies to support your child’s emotional well-being. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to discuss your questions, concerns, or hopes for change. I look forward to accompanying you on your journey.
