My Approach:

In her practice, Jessie prioritizes creating a safe, affirming, and collaborative space for her clients. She takes a person-centered and holistic approach, integrating mind and body through modalities informed by polyvagal theory and somatic techniques. Jessie specializes in working with neurodivergent individuals and tailors evidence-based therapies (ACT, DBT, CBT) to meet each client’s unique needs.

Communication Style:

My communication style is laid-back, warm, and grounded in the belief that we are all human. I’ll meet you with validation and support, while also gently encouraging small shifts to help you move toward your goals.

Personal Life:

In her free time, Jessie likes to rock climb, mountain bike, and run. She also enjoys reading, and spending time with her family, friends, and her cat, Link.
