About Jessica

I’ve had a passion for psychology since my undergraduate years, where I realized how important mental health is to our overall well being as individuals. The human psyche and our emotions often operate beneath the surface, shaping us in unseen ways. Unlike physical illness, mental and emotional struggles do not always present visible symptoms, which makes them harder to recognize and understand. As a result, many people find it difficult to identify the root of the issue or how to address it. One of my favorite professors once described therapy as “a rewiring of our brains in a way that is more beneficial for our life.” That’s always stuck with me as I envision the biological changes that are happening during therapy that are unbeknownst to us. The work you do by “simply” talking is life changing, you are restructuring and remodeling your entire brain and neural pathways, making new connections, and finding better connections! Your brain is your strongest muscle, and we must train it in order to use it to the best of our abilities!  

I obtained my Master’s degree from Sigmund Freud University in Vienna, the birthplace of Psychology. I have lived abroad and in the States, allowing me to bring a multicultural approach to therapy. I enjoy meeting new people, yapping a lot, and finding a way to use that talking for good to help others! I view each individual as more than capable of leading their own lives, and simply am there to guide you to the tools and skills you need in order to improve your lived experience.  My approach is rooted in integrative modalities that combine acceptance-based and mindfulness-oriented principles, and the ways we create meaning and shape our own reality, alongside other evidence-based practices. It's important to foster feelings of community and belonging, in order to feel like we have a place in this world. That starts by fostering relationships with those around us, and opening up about who we are and what we are dealing with. I’m here to be part of your community, to create a working relationship where you feel safe and comfortable as we journey together towards self actualization.
