Hey, I’m Jess.
It is hard to be a human! I provide a compassionate nurturing space for exploring life's inevitable stressors.
I’m here to deeply listen to your unique experiences, needs and goals. To witness the sorrow, grief, loss, anger, frustration, dread, anxiety and joy that are all an inevitable part of being here. I am here to tell you you are not broken!
Our bodies hold the stories of our lives. I integrate approaches such as EMDR and inner child parts work to access healing at a cellular level.
I am a white, cisgender woman and LGBTQA+ ally. I have lived experience of depression, anxiety, family crisis, people-pleasing and perfectionism. The context of my life shapes the way I see and move through the world. I am passionate about nurturing everyone’s unique story and way of living. I believe that we are all inherently good and deserving of love.
