More about Jessica

  • Female
  • LMFT

Sessions often focus on triggers, attachment issues, and the effects of transracial adoptions. I am ready to be part of your healing journey, let's do this together. This can cause dysregulation in our bodies, minds, and hearts. Many of the clients I see have been impacted by the Department of Social Services & the Department of Corrections. I work with people from all walks of life, from the foster care system to the prison system. I have the innate desire to build empathetic, genuine, therapeutic relationships with my clients.
