About

Jessica is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. She received her Master’s of Science in Clinical Counseling from the Community-Based Block Program (CBB) Multicultural Counseling and Social Justice Education at San Diego State University. Her education in multi-cultural counseling and social justice means she approaches each individual with empathy and awareness when it comes to navigating racial and gender identities, and life experiences. In addition, her background as an athletic coach and personal trainer means she brings a knowledge of fitness and nutrition to her clients who are working toward a healthier relationship with their bodies and food. No matter what the issue is, she is passionate about helping those seeking change in their lives to achieve their goals. Jessica’s primary focus is working with adults, teens and adolescents struggling with trauma, anxiety, self-esteem, relationship issues, body image, disordered eating and addiction. She uses a Trauma informed approach, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, and other tools to help clients overcome and move past behaviors that aren’t contributing to their personal growth and happiness. She provides psychoeducation to help clients identify and achieve small-scale, doable goals which build a foundation for lasting change. Currently sessions are being held face to face, via telehealth or walk and talk. Jessica lives in Coronado with her husband who is a military veteran. She has three older step-children. She is passionate about moving her body and enjoys being outdoors, on the water or playing pickleball and golf.
