About Me

I'm Jessica (she/her), a licensed clinical social worker, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, EMDR therapist, and Trauma Center Trauma-Sensitive Yoga Facilitator. I offer individual therapy for adults and teens seeking meaningful, mind-body-centered healing. My approach to therapy is trauma-informed, collaborative, and rooted in both clinical expertise and deep respect for your lived experience. I support clients in reconnecting with their bodies, processing unresolved experiences, and cultivating greater emotional resilience. Whether you're navigating a life transition, feeling stuck, or working through anxiety, trauma, or relationship challenges, I provide a space to explore, heal, and grow at your own pace. I integrate Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, and trauma-sensitive yoga with traditional talk therapy to gently support your nervous system, foster a sense of safety in your body, and strengthen your capacity for self-trust. I believe that healing happens not only through insight, but also through attunement, presence, and the restoration of embodied safety. My practice is grounded in a social justice and an anti-oppressive framework. I acknowledge the impact of systemic injustice, intergenerational trauma, and identity-based harm—and I strive to offer inclusive, affirming, and human-centered care for people of all backgrounds.
