How Jessica works
Jessica has a particular interest in maternal mental health. She assists people dealing with pregnancy and childbirth related stress, perinatal and postpartum anxiety, and the pressures that come with new parenthood. She also supports women navigating life transitions and identity challenges.
In sessions she aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about honestly.

She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients build coping strategies and notice different patterns that keep problems going.

Online support options
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Jessica uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical, problem-solving work. Cognitive approaches help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns that fuel anxiety and low self-esteem. Skills-based strategies teach concrete tools for managing strong emotions, improving communication, and coping with cravings or addictive behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of the process and she treats it as a collaboration. Together they will review your goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. The therapist will also recommend specific practices to use between sessions so clients can apply what they learn to real life.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat sessions suit quick check-ins, and messaging works for short updates or ongoing support. These options help people fit care around work, caregiving, and busy schedules.
