Welcome! I’m glad you’re here.
Life can feel awfully intense sometimes, Can’T iT?
-
On past mistakes, even small ones? Or how you put your foot in your mouth last week? Or something that happened in the past? Or are you paralyzed by indecision, terrified you’ll make the wrong choice? Are you setting up impossible expectations for yourself?
-
Are you afraid to say no to others, even if it means overcommitting yourself or compromising your values? Or that you’ll be seen as selfish if you express your own needs? Do you give or help too much, and then feel resentful or depleted?
-
Do you feel like you have to “fix” things immediately if someone expresses negative feelings toward you, even if what they’re saying or asking doesn’t feel right to you? Or that you can’t “make waves” or you’ll lose relationships?
-
You’re brilliant at anticipating others’ needs and shifting to be whoever they want you to be. But if you were honest with yourself, are you unsure of your actual identity? Are you worried others won’t like or accept the “real you”, even if you knew who that was? Are you living for others’ praise and approval?
-
Do you struggle to set them, or enforce them once you’ve stated them? Or are you uncertain whether you deserve to have boundaries in the first place? What will happen if you stop bending over backwards?
-
Do you struggle to rest, relax or unwind, because you should be doing something productive, or for others? Or do you feel guilty when you take care of yourself? Do you wonder if you should just “suck it up”, “get over it”, or “stop being so sensitive”? Is your life run by guilt and shame, rather than what you want, need, or yearn for?
Hi, I’m Jessica!
If you saw yourself in the questions above, I’ve got you.
I’m here to help you not just to survive your life, but to thrive.
We’ll shift your story so you can see your sensitivity to others as a strength and superpower, not a liability. You’ll be able to live in and fully embrace the present, free of the shackles of the past. You’ll be a boundaries badass who feels confident and at ease with your decisions. You’ll take your perfectionism head on, and learn to view the world in shades of gray, rather than black or white.
I specialize in helping Highly Sensitive People, recovering perfectionists & people-pleasers, and those dealing with trauma to live full, happy, authentic lives.

How it works
Ready to get started?
Click here or the “Book Free Consult” button in the header/menu to schedule your free video consultation. We’ll get to know each other and see if it feels comfortable…. because when it comes to therapy, the vibe has to be right!
If it’s a fit, we’ll meet weekly online, in the comfort and convenience of your home, or wherever else you’d like to meet, so therapy can fit seamlessly with your busy life.
Bring your pets (please! I’m an animal lover!), your tea, a cozy blanket, whatever helps you feel grounded. Online therapy (which has been shown to be just as effective as meeting in-person) meets you where you are, emotionally AND geographically.
We’ll collaborate to create a customized plan, and you’ll have action steps that feel good, because they’re finally in line with YOUR goals.
