Hi, I’m Jessica and I’m so thankful you are here. I realize reaching out for therapy is not an easy thing, so I appreciate your time to consider me as your therapist. Please read below about who and what I most commonly work with, to see if I might be a good fit for you!

I love working with individuals that want to learn how to have a healthy relationship with themselves and others, particularly with individuals who have grown up in childhood trauma/chaos, have endured a relationship trauma, or have struggled with emotionally immature parents (toxic – abusive ones) – and want to heal and do relationships differently than what they’ve experienced.

Stated simply, I help individuals have a healthy relationship with themselves and others – no matter what they came from or relationship hurt they have endured.

We all engage in relationships with people around us, but if what we grew up in or have experienced a relationship trauma that caused us to learn unhealthy relationship coping skills? If one of these or both have been your experience, if not worked on, most likely you have or will struggle to feel securely attached and deeply connected with yourself and others. You might also experience feeling anxious, lonely, depressed, dysregulated when in relationships or alone, unsatisfied, and disconnected from those around you. Your ability to have a healthy relationship can have a ripple effect into every aspect of your life. You might find you work hard to keep people out, to keep yourself safe – or perhaps you are on the opposite end and feel you give of yourself too easily and too much to others? Or is it that becoming a parent scares you because you are worry you won’t know how and you will become your mom or dad? Studies’ show us that people live healthier and happier lives when they have healthy and loving relationships, but what if you don’t know how or don’t trust it’s even possible? What if you feel that you are destined to repeat what you came from, and then your children will also have to endure the unhealthy cycles/generational trauma? Please know, it doesn’t have to be this way! You can be a cycle break, be the parent, partner, friend, and confident individual you want to be. You might have to dig deep and work hard to learn how to set boundaries, communicate, and give yourself what you need to change/grow, but it is possible. Let’s work together to learn how!

If you are wanting to be a different parent than you grew up with, learn to love and accept yourself, and know what it’s like to have a healthy relationship with others, let’s work together to work through relationship and generational trauma, establish healthy boundaries and communication skills, and know yourself with confidence - better than ever. I’ve done it, I’ve seen it done with so many clients, and believe you too can become more of the person you want to be.
