Experience and Philosophy

I have over 10 years of experience working with children and adolescents in academic, non-academic, and clinical settings.  My passion and drive for teaching and guiding our youth has always been at the forefront of my practice.  My clinical experience includes working with children in their homes, foster homes, shelters, and schools.  This has allowed me to value and appreciate the phrase “It takes a village.”  We can influence positive change when important figures in our children’s lives work together. 

I believe successful therapy starts with the relationship.  By building a genuine relationship I hope to better understand your present day perspective and where you'd like to be in your life.  From there we figure out what motivates you. I want to help identify the obstacles in your way to make the adjustments you need to feel in control of your world and to experience more happiness.  My work with youth and adults has been truly inspiring and I have witnessed tremendous growth and empowerment through healing from within.

I am an artist, a mother, a daughter, a sister and a lover of life.  I enjoy traveling, seeing live music, dancing, spending time with my family and enjoying the glorious outdoors.  Oh yeah and my first name is Jessica.
