Jessica has been a wonderful blessing in my life. She's helped me analyze tough situations I've gone through and the feelings that came with it to better understand myself and others. Not only is she helpful as a professional, her personality is warm, caring, and funny keeping things light-hearted to ease anyone who may be anxious when working with a new therapist. I've been able to learn how to deal with my own feelings, anxiety, etc in a healthy way with her help and advice. I would highly recommend her to others and have already done so with my close friends if they ever decided to take up therapy. :)

Hello there!
First off, great job at taking the first step for support! I’ve been in your shoes and I know how this part feels – a bit of worry mixed with excitement and hope and perhaps some fear of the unknown. My name is Jess and I am glad you’re here.
I earned my Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology from Western Michigan University in 2005 and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Limited License Psychologist in Michigan. I’ve worked in a variety of settings from crisis units, to mental health centers to correctional facilities. I have been in leadership and a staff trainer in addition to my clinical practices. I truly enjoy seeing people get through their struggles and come out on the other side as healthier and happier individuals.
Much of my career has been centered around helping those with sexual addictions, substance use, anxiety/stress and trauma/abuse. My therapeutic style is open and honest and involves helping you to arrive at gaining insight, increasing strategies, and finding tools that you can begin using immediately to make positive change in your life. I use evidence based techniques including solution-focused counseling, cognitive-behavioral therapy, psycho-educational techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and a humanistic approach to helping my clients. Most important, I strive to build a therapeutic relationship with you, in order to maintain a relaxed and welcoming environment that allows you to be who you are and get the most out of your therapy.
Thanks for taking the first step, I’d love it if you’d let me help you with the next.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Jessica is the perfect mix of caring, and funny. She genuinely listens to my concerns and issues, but has a way of making heavier conversations more light hearted and manageable. Jessica always offers tips, tools, and advice to help me work through my problems, and always makes me feel supported!
Hi, Jess has been a supremely supportive confidant within my life.
Jessica is truly the greatest. She is kind, funny, and lets me know how it is and what she thinks. She is always there to give me encouragement when I need it and will listen to my problems as well.
Caring, wonderful, and empathetic therapist.
