Meet the Team

Jessica is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with nearly 20 years of clinical experience, specializing in helping people heal from trauma so they can feel present, grounded and connected in their lives.

She is a trained Internal Family Systems clinician and in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) — two approaches that work powerfully together. IFS helps you to understand and befriend the parts of yourself that have been driving your struggles, while EMDR helps your nervous system process and release what's been stuck. Together they create real, lasting change — not just insight, but genuine healing. And neither approach treats you as broken. They start with the belief that you already have everything you need within you.

Jessica has walked her own healing path. In 2023, she experienced a serious trauma of her own — a mountain bike accident that left her hospitalized and forced her to face acute trauma, fear and the hard work of self acceptance from the inside out. The journey changed her as a person and clinician. She brings that lived experience into the room with every client.

Outside the office, you'll find her on the trails with her Springer Spaniel, driving her classic Mustang, at the SLO city farm where her husband farms, or white knuckling it through her son's driving lessons. She is deeply rooted in the SLO community and grateful for it.
