Offerings

Jessi provides therapy for individuals 18 years and older looking for support with skillfully managing life demands and transitions, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, complex trauma, and identity development. She supports clients who seek therapy for a specific challenge and those who want an ongoing therapy relationship to work on longer standing dynamics, patterns, and deeper healing. Jessi uses an integrated approach to working with clients, customizing the approach that will work best for each one. She has expertise in supporting those navigating the complexity of divorce, acute and chronic health conditions, recovering people pleasers, and is polyamory and kink informed.

As a parent herself, Jessi knows how challenging it can be to care for and guide small humans who require so much, push all our buttons, and ask us to parent according to our values in a world with constant and conflicting demands. Many of us are also doing this without the benefit of the models we need and our own wounds from childhood. Parent coaching can address children's behavioral concerns on its own or be an adjunctive treatment for children in therapy. Jessi brings her many years of experience as a Registered Play Therapist & Supervisor, school-based therapist, and mother to support parents and caregivers in developing and supporting the parenting vision and practices that will allow their children and families to thrive. Jessi believes that supported parents who develop more compassion, knowledge of child development, and their own inner-child healing become more attuned and skillful parents. 

Parenting is tremendously challenging, and striving to do it well with a former partner is even more nuanced and complicated than most can (or want to) imagine. Jessi draws on her nearly 20 years of providing adult, child, and family therapy and knowledge of the trials of divorce to help co-parents work together in developing the practices that will best support the children impacted by sharing their lives with adults who live apart.  Co-parent Coaching can be done with individual parents, nested partners, divorced/separated co-parents, and an entire parenting team. 

Healing happens in safe community, and participating in group therapy can be invaluable in one's journey. Jessi offers several different group therapy options for women transitioning out of longterm marriages/relationships, those in step-parenting roles, and for women looking to heal for the unique pain of living with those with narcissistic traits.
