Jessica guides clients through the moments when life shifts and old rhythms no longer fit. With a compassionate, reflective style, she supports grief, identity, leadership, and relational challenges—using conversation and creative expression to help clients unlearn what no longer serves them and step into who they’re becoming.

As a mental health counselor, I support children, adolescents, and young adults as they navigate emotional, behavioral, and life challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, stress, anger, school difficulties, and unhealthy coping. I take an empathetic, collaborative, and evidence-based approach, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), and Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) to help clients process emotions, develop coping skills, and build self-compassion. I aim to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where young clients feel heard and understood, encouraging them to discover their strengths and grow in confidence and resilience.

I am a recent graduate of Baylor University specializing in trauma-informed care. I work with people who are tired of just 'holding it together' and are ready to address the roots of why they feel stuck. As a veteran, I know firsthand the courage it takes to confront the past. My goal is to provide a steady, grounded space where you can process the weight of anxiety, depression, or PTSD without judgment. Together, we’ll work on breaking old patterns and uncovering the strength you already have so you can move forward into a life that actually feels like yours.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who specializes in working with children and their families. I provide a safe, supportive, and developmentally appropriate environment where children can express themselves, build emotional awareness, and develop healthy coping skills. Using evidence-based approaches such as play-based interventions, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and family collaboration, I help children navigate challenges including anxiety, behavioral concerns, emotional regulation, life transitions, and trauma. I believe every child has strengths and resilience, and I work closely with caregivers to support growth both in and outside the therapy room.

I work with young adult men who want to strengthen their mental performance, emotional regulation, and decision-making—especially during periods of transition, pressure, or identity development. My approach is grounded in performance psychology and focuses on helping clients move from feeling stuck or reactive to feeling intentional, confident, and in control. I primarily use Solution-Focused Therapy and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). This means we spend less time reliving the past and more time building practical strategies you can apply immediately—while also developing awareness of thoughts, emotions, and patterns that may be holding you back. Therapy with me is collaborative, goal-oriented, and rooted in real-life application. I have a particular interest in working with young adult men navigating challenges related to motivation, discipline, stress, relationships, self-worth, and life direction. My goal is to help clients not only cope, but perform at a higher level—mentally, emotionally, and behaviorally—while staying aligned with their values.
