Helping Adults Heal from the Inside Out - Emotionally, Physically, and Relationally
Sexuality, intimacy, identity – these are some of the most personal parts of being human. When pain, trauma, anxiety, or shame show up around these topics, it can feel isolating.
I specialize in helping adults (18+) navigate sexual health, trauma recovery, and emotional wellness. Whether you’re working through sexual trauma, intimacy challenges, or anxiety, therapy can be a place to explore safely and reclaim your story.
Alongside sexual health, I support clients facing trauma, chronic illness, body image issues, and anxiety. These challenges often overlap, affecting relationships and overall well-being.
If you’re looking for support with any of these, I’m here to help.
Meet Jessica
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate with a deep commitment to helping adults heal from sexual trauma, anxiety, chronic illness, and more.
As someone with lived experience navigating the medical system and chronic illness, I understand what it’s like to feel dismissed, exhausted, or unsure where to turn.
Clients often tell me they feel truly seen, understood, and empowered after our sessions. They appreciate my ability to help them get to the root of issues without judgment – and the mix of empathy, strategy, and sometimes a little laughter I bring to our work.

“You don’t need fixing. You need space to heal, reflect, and reconnect with who you truly are.”
What We Can Work on Together
I offer a gentle, collaborative space to explore what’s holding you back – and what might help you move forward. We’ll work at your pace, with care and clarity.
Together, we can look at some of the deeper patterns, life experiences, and emotional struggles that are showing up in your day-to-day.
- Rebuilding trust and safety after difficult relationships
- Processing trauma and complex life experiences at your pace
- Exploring identity, neurodivergence, or how past pain affects present patterns
- Navigating intimacy, boundaries, and sexual wellness with more self-understanding
If something here resonates, let’s talk.
You don’t have to sort through it all on your own.
Outside the Therapy Room
I live five minutes from the beach with my husband and our two rescue pups, and we take every opportunity to soak up the salt air and sunshine. I’m also an avid reader, a believer in slow mornings, and once made a cameo as an extra on One Tree Hill – a fun reminder that life often holds unexpected moments of joy.
