A path to healing and empowerment
These services aim to assist in helping to rebuild a sense of felt safety and autonomy. We offer gentle, intentional, and effective trauma therapy, prioritizing your pace and agency above all else. Discover a space where you can heal and reclaim your true self.
A compassionate and intentional approach
Based in Charlottesville, VA we specialize in treating PTSD, C-PTSD, and dissociation, particularly with women and queer-identifying individuals. Many clients seek support after relationships where their choices, voice, or boundaries were undermined. Our approach is direct yet gentle, focusing on slowing down and working within your capacity. This ensures that we prioritize your safety and agency, especially if past experiences made it difficult to trust your instincts.
Reclaiming internal sense of safety
Clients often report a new or strengthened sense of felt safety in their bodies. They develop the ability to advocate for themselves in powerful, new ways, cultivating a deep sense of inner strength and self-trust.
Harnessing effective modalities for lasting change
Jess' training and background includes Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, and somatic approaches. These tools allow us to gently follow and soothe your nervous system, rather than move too quickly into distress. We focus on accepting what your body needs now, meeting those needs with compassion, and building lasting emotional stability and self-trust.
