Jess sees therapy as something that addresses every part of the human experience, including developing one’s identity, cultivating relationships with others, exploring dynamics of power and intimacy, examining cultural constructs, and reflecting on questions of meaning. She believes that therapy can create space for levity, joy, laughter, and curiosity in life when the human experience becomes too heavy. She seeks to create a place for her clients where growth and change can happen from a place of strength and clients can access insight, gain skills, and experience authentic living and their authentic selves. Jess hopes to help those whom she works with to take up space, discover their personal power, and improve their quality of life.
