Jess offers a unique approach to healing trauma that is both direct and intentionally slow, guided by each client’s individual nervous system needs. This work centers on helping clients use their voice within sessions, strengthening their ability to advocate for themselves while building a deeper sense of agency. Jess often supports individuals in cultivating a renewed or strengthened sense of felt safety in both body and mind, creating space for healing that is steady, attuned, and sustainable.
When working with Jess, you can expect a thoughtful and collaborative therapeutic relationship grounded in intention and consistency. This practice is especially suited for those drawn to a slow-paced, body-aware, and collaborative approach, integrating modalities such as EMDR, IFS, and somatic work. Jess also provides an affirming, non-pressured environment where clients can safely explore identity, including gender, while feeling respected and supported throughout the process.
