Great to meet you!

As a graduate of the University at Albany with a Master's in Social Work, I have had the privilege of working in an outpatient setting for the past 12 years. In this setting I have worked with individuals that suffer from trauma, mood disorders including depression, anxiety and adjustment disorders related to life changes. In providing group, individual, family and couple's counseling I have helped individuals achieve the goals that they determine for themselves.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I provide a safe environment for my clients to explore their strengths, abilities, patterns in coping, and identify any barriers that may exist for them achieving their full potential.

What you can expect from our first session

My clients have described feeling that they are heard, understood and on a path to recovery from what it is that they came to address in treatment.


Jessica's style is

Solution-oriented
Open-minded
