Choosing therapy is a courageous decision with empowering results! We all hold strength and enormous potential, it’s often just a matter of learning the tools to break out of old habits and replace them with healthier ones in order to live the fullest life possible.

Jessica earned a Master of Science degree in Counseling and Clinical Health Psychology in 2012 from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, as well as a Bachelor of Arts degree from Bryn Mawr College in 2007. She has 8 years of experience in the mental health and substance abuse fields, with direct experience working with adolescents and adults in a variety of community and hospital-based settings including a residential facility at Belmont Behavioral Health and outpatient centers at Public Health Management Corporation and Northwestern Human Services.

Her expertise is in treating individuals coping with anxiety and depression, addiction, trauma, grief and loss, and adjustment issues. She maintains a ‘day job’ as a care advocate in the managed care field, which affords a unique insight into navigating the complexities of our modern health care system. In terms of therapeutic interests, she is particularly passionate about the interplay between physical and psychological health and in utilizing the techniques of mindfulness to improve the mind-body connection and reconnect to one’s own intrinsic wisdom.

Jessica works first and foremost to develop a trusting, safe, and respectful relationship as the foundation for all therapeutic work. She draws from a theoretical foundation of cognitive-behavioral therapy, which she couples with solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing and mindfulness techniques. With warmth and compassion, she works to tailor therapy to the needs, strengths, and goals of each unique person.

As a Florida native, Jessica relishes any time she can spend at the beach. She also enjoys exercising, reading, engaging in numerous creative pursuits, being in nature, and traveling the world.
