Jessica believes counseling is a journey of self-discovery and growth, empowering individuals to recognize their strengths and uncover their potential. She values meeting clients where they are and fostering a nonjudgmental environment that promotes healing, transformation, and meaningful change through a collaborative and trustful partnership.

Her specialties include working with teens, young adults, and adults to navigate life’s transitions and challenges. She focuses on supporting clients in managing anxiety, depression, and stress while developing effective coping skills. Jessica is particularly passionate about helping mothers through the emotional complexities of pregnancy, including addressing guilt, grief, and postpartum depression. With a background in massage and sound therapy, she enjoys integrating alternative approaches into her practice and is eager to expand her expertise in somatic therapy and trauma-focused yoga.

Jessica is a dedicated Master’s student in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at Youngstown State University. She graduated with honors from Kent State University, earning a bachelor’s degree in Human Development and Family Studies.

My compassion, empathy, and ability to connect with others allow me to meet clients where they are and help them discover their strengths. I excel at helping individuals build resilience, even during difficult times, and tailor my approach to each client’s unique needs. My ability to balance empathy, understanding, and even a touch of humor helps me connect with clients and support them on their journey toward wellness.”
