About Jessica
I am a mental health counselor licensed in the state of Missouri with five years of experience working as a counselor. I have experience working with concerns such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, personality disorders, and trauma history. I have worked with a range of ages, from as young as 4 to individuals in their 70’s.
When working with a client, I am warm and understanding and also enjoy using humor when appropriate. I believe everyone deserves to be seen as the expert in their own story. My approach to therapy is a combination of cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavioral, and person-centered therapy. Therapy sessions and treatment plans will be individualized to meet your specific needs.
I look forward to meeting you and supporting your journey in an understanding, empathetic way.

Talking to her is like talking to a friend but without judgment. She applies real life experience to help relate to the situation I am going through. For anyone who might struggle with taking the step to seek help I would say consider Jessica.”
