HELLO
I’m Jessica.
I’m a therapist whose work is deeply informed by my own journey of healing, self-discovery, and reclamation—and what that journey revealed to me about the ways women learn to disconnect from themselves.
For a long time, I lived in my head. On the outside, things looked fine, but internally, I felt disconnected from myself. Something deeper was missing.
Traditional talk therapy helped me understand myself, but understanding alone wasn’t creating the shifts I was looking for.
It wasn’t until I began turning inward-out of my head and into my body that things started to change.
That path led me into somatic healing and eventually Internal Family Systems (IFS), an approach that honors the complexity, beauty, and intelligence of our inner world.
For the first time, I began developing a different relationship with myself. I wasn’t just understanding my patterns intellectually. I was beginning to feel, experience, and relate to myself in ways I hadn’t before.
What became increasingly clear to me was that we have an innate intelligence within us—an internal compass that knows what’s true for us. Healing isn’t about creating that wisdom, but clearing away what has kept us disconnected from it.
What began as a personal journey became the foundation of my work with women.
A path of reconnecting with what’s already within us, reclaiming the parts we’ve learned to suppress, and finding the freedom to live from our own inner authority.
MY PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND AND QUALIFICATIONS
I hold a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and Wellness from New York University, and I’m licensed to practice in both North Carolina and New York State. My post-graduate training includes advanced coursework in Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic therapy, and polyvagal theory, along with certification as an Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) Practitioner.
While these approaches inform my work, I don’t view them as rigid protocols. I draw from them intuitively and responsively, honoring the unique needs, experiences, and inner wisdom of each person I work with.
Above all, my work is grounded in presence, authenticity, and ongoing personal integration. This isn’t simply work I facilitate with others; it’s work I continue to live and embody myself.
Together, we’ll create a space where you can feel safe enough to explore, where all parts of you are welcome, and where your own wisdom can begin to emerge.
