I'm so glad you're here! I'm Jessica, I have worked in children's mental health since 2007. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and I specialize in working with children under the age of 12. I have been honored to work with families and children through times of trauma, healing, and transition. I have worked in homes, clinics, schools, and private practices. I believe in the healing power of relationships and have helped many families and children uncover their strengths, connect with one another, and traverse difficult times. I most frequently use Child Centered Play Therapy to help children heal and Structural Family Therapy to help grown ups create a strong, secure method of leadership. For those who have experienced trauma, I often use SMART Therapy to help children process their experiences and learn to regulate themselves. 

 

When I'm not working, I am usually parked at a coffee shop, playing with my toddler, cooking, reading, doing yoga, or working on my 100 year old house. I am not very serious and love to laugh and be silly. 

 

As a parent, it is so unsettling when something is going wrong with our little ones. I have experience in many different challenges that can occur in childhood and I would love to talk with you about how we can help!
