Licensed Professional Counselor -
Always ask yourself if what you’re doing today is getting you closer to where you want to be tomorrow.”
-Paulo Coelho
Hi! I’m Jessica and would love to work with you! I became interested in counseling years ago during a college internship and have worked in a variety of settings since. Since receiving my Master in Counseling I have spent my career devoted to working in college and high school settings in personal and career counseling. My personal practice was born in 2021 when the pandemic forced me to re-evaluate my path. I now have the pleasure of helping guide people of all ages on their journey towards finding purpose and balance in their career and personal lives.
I love working with neurodivergent clients and HSPs (highly sensitive people) and can empathize with their stories, having ADHD myself, an Autistic husband, and a twice-exceptional son. I am not a “formal” therapist with my clients. I prefer to approach therapy like we are having a conversation and coming up with ideas together. Ultimately, my goal is to meet you where you are at, listen to your story and provide sessions that are tailored to you.
A little about me: In my free time I enjoy traveling and exploring with my family, playing video games with my son, reading historical fiction, and staying up entirely too late binge-watching shows. I was diagnosed with ADHD-Inattentive Type in 2022 and it has been life changing. The signs were always there, but women especially are very good at masking so I never knew! Sometimes my symptoms will appear in our sessions as forgetting a certain word or having multiple ideas that I am excited to share with you. I can’t wait to meet you and hear your story!
