WALNUT CREEK & THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA
Relationships
worth staying in.
Lives worth wanting.
Before it breaks. After it bends. There's a way through.
There's a growing distance between the life you have and the one you actually want. The ache of being loved yet feeling lonely. The exhaustion of keeping everything afloat. The confusion of not recognizing the person looking back at you in the mirror or beside you in the bedroom. Something needs to change.
You're in the right place.
I'm Jessica, and I'd love to help.

For Couples
"Is my relationship healthy?"
"Why do I feel so lonely in my marriage?"
"How often to married couples have sex?"
"What counts as emotional cheating?"
"How to save my marriage"
Whatever brought you here, you're in the right place. You don't have to answer these alone.
COUPLES THERAPY
For Individuals
“Coping skills for anxiety”
"How to not yell at my kids"
"What are intrusive thoughts?"
"Symptoms of postpartum depression"
"Is it normal to worry about everything?"
However you landed here, you're in the right place. You don't have to carry this alone.
INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
Therapy with a point of view
I've spent over 20 years in my field figuring out the kind of therapist I want to be and who I want to work with. I blend my clinical training with authenticity and intention, but here's what I know matters most: whether you feel connected and comfortable in the room with me.
The research backs this up. The single best predictor of success in therapy isn't the modality or the technique. It's the rapport between you and your therapist. Everything else is built on that.
I value frameworks and tools with the same reverence as compassion and laughter and I'm always evolving.
I believe in therapy's power as both a preventative and a curative intervention for our well-being. I truly love what I do, and I'm looking forward to meeting you.

Parenthood & Perinatal Mental Health
The transition to parenthood changes everything and almost no one is adequately prepared for it. I work with expectant and new parents navigating the identity shift, the relationship strain, the anxiety, and the grief of a life that looks completely different than it did before.

Identity, Anxiety & Life Transitions
The perfectionist. The people-pleaser. The one with imposter syndrome who somehow convinced everyone else they have it together. I work with people who are navigating the gap between who they appear to be and who they actually feel like on the inside.

Testimonials
"When I started working with Jessica I felt lost. I didn’t feel like myself. I didn’t know who I was anymore. Jessica was amazing! She really got what I was going through and was so understanding. I have come such a long way and my sense of self has returned. I highly recommend her if you’re struggling with something similar."
- Client, age 46, Central California
"Jessica is amazing! She really helped me get through a tough time with my anxiety and stress at work. I was really struggling with imposter syndrome. I felt like I wasn’t where I was supposed to be in life - like I didn’t know what I was doing. With her support, I made some changes that made a huge difference. I’m so grateful to her.”
- Client, age 31, Los Angeles
"Jessica is so understanding and easy to talk to. My husband and I were struggling with communication and our sex life was non-existent. He’d be in the room with me but I still missed him. I felt so lonely and he felt unappreciated. Jessica helped us find common ground and really connect. We’re doing so much better now."
