About Me
Hi! My name is Jessica and I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist (lic. #141666), EMDRIA-certified EMDR therapist, and certified perinatal mental health specialist (PMH-C). I focus on helping women, pregnant and postpartum people, and parents of young children heal from painful experiences in order to feel peaceful and confident in their daily lives and create intergenerational wellness. I often incorporate parts work/IFS-informed practices, inner child work, somatic therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) into the EMDR process to enhance self-connection, empowerment, and movement of "stuck" sensations in the body. And I work with an attachment, intersectional feminist, and queer-affirming framework. I'm accepting new clients for in-person therapy in Long Beach and online therapy throughout California. If you're located in CA seeking mind-body healing support in this season, reach out to schedule a free consultation phone call!
