Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern

Jessi believes healing begins in a space where you feel safe and supported enough to do meaningful work. She takes an integrative, client-centered approach with individuals, couples, and families that is warm, nonjudgmental, and grounded in deep respect for each person’s unique story. Jessi balances compassion with space for accountability, welcoming clients exactly as they are and walking alongside them through the deep, sometimes uncomfortable work that leads to lasting change.

Jessi works with individuals, couples, and families navigating complex trauma, including complex PTSD, relational and family challenges, and personality disorders such as borderline personality disorder (BPD). She also supports clients managing anxiety, depression, and major life transitions, often addressing patterns such as over-control, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and high-functioning anxiety.

Jessi utilizes evidence-based, trauma-informed frameworks, with Polyvagal Theory guiding much of her work. She integrates approaches such as DBT, CBT, ACT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and incorporates shadow work and inner child exploration to support deep healing. In her work with couples and families, she draws from The Gottman Method, Relational Life Therapy (RLT), and Bowenian and Structural Family Systems Therapies.

Clients often describe Jessi as compassionate, grounding, and easy to talk to, appreciating her ability to balance emotional depth with practical skill building. She is a strong fit for individuals, couples, and families who want to feel understood while addressing deep-rooted trauma, navigating complex relational dynamics, and building the insight and tools needed for meaningful change.

When Jessi is not in the therapy room, she can often be found buried in a book, enjoying her favorite foods, or at the beach with her husband and their two dachshunds. She believes in practicing what she teaches and can occasionally be spotted dancing in the rain, working to stay grounded and connected just like her clients.
