Meet Jessica
Jessica supports adults and students navigating anxiety, low mood, and the stress of big life transitions. She’s especially passionate about working with people who appear to be “holding it all together” on the outside but feel overwhelmed or unseen on the inside. Jessica’s goal is to help you feel more like yourself again (confident, grounded, and emotionally supported) as you figure out what you need and who you want to be.
Sessions with Jessica feel like a calm space where you can breathe and speak freely. She creates a compassionate and collaborative environment where your voice matters most. Jessica knows that you're the expert on your own life and works with you to shape sessions that actually meet your needs. Her style is open and conversational, with a solution-focused mindset that helps you move forward when you're feeling stuck.
Outside the therapy room, Jessica recharges by spending time with her daughter, partner, and dog. Jessica is a bookworm at heart and loves the challenge of a good puzzle. Always up for something new, she’s all ears for your favourite recipe, go-to campground, or top travel tip.
