About

Intake Notes: At this time we are currently accepting self-pay clients only. Jessica is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northwestern University. She utilizes an integrative therapeutic approach that is relational, trauma-informed, and client-centered. Jessica strives to build a safe, empathic, and collaborative relationship with each of her clients. She provides a healthy environment in which clients can heal from traumatic wounds, build self-awareness, and move forward with resilience and hope. Jessica specializes in supporting clients who identify as LGBTQIA+ and is committed to gender-affirming practice. She can help you navigate the emotional, relational, and logistical challenges that often accompany being queer in a heteronormative and cisnormative society. As someone who identifies as queer herself, she brings both personal and clinical experience to this work. Above all, Jessica approaches every single client with genuine curiosity, acceptance, and respect. If you are considering reaching out for help, she is here when you're ready.
