Hi there! My name is Jessica, and I am a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I began my nursing career in 2011 and have since developed a deep commitment to helping individuals improve their mental well-being. I specialize in treating depression, generalized anxiety, PTSD, substance abuse, postpartum depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, insomnia, and OCD. I provide care for adults and geriatric populations, focusing on compassionate, evidence-based, and individualized treatment. As the owner of MMJ Mindful Wellness LLC, I am dedicated to creating a welcoming and supportive environment where clients feel empowered on their path to healing.
Life can often feel like a series of overwhelming transitions, leaving you feeling disconnected or unsure of your next step. I provide a dedicated space for adults (22+) to slow down, reflect, and move forward with renewed clarity.
Whether you are navigating the complexities of trauma, managing a mood disorder, or facing significant life changes, my goal is to help you transform "feeling stuck" into a journey of intentional growth.
How We Will Work Together
My approach is relational, honest, and depth-oriented. Rather than just addressing surface-level symptoms, we will explore the unspoken beliefs and past experiences that quietly shape your daily life. By learning to listen to what your emotions are communicating, you can begin to respond to life’s challenges in ways that promote genuine healing and authentic connection.
Specialized Support for Couples
In addition to individual therapy, I specialize in marriage and pre-marital counseling. I help couples at all stages build resilient foundations, repair emotional disconnections, and foster a deeper sense of intimacy and mutual understanding.
**Please note: While I accept insurance for individual therapy, all couples counseling is private-pay only. Insurance does not cover relationship-focused therapy.
Your Journey Starts Here
You deserve a space where you are fully seen, heard, and empowered. No matter where you are in your journey, I am here to support you in creating meaningful, lasting change.

I’m a warm and charismatic PMHNP who takes a holistic and participatory approach to care. I specialize in treating depression and anxiety, helping clients feel empowered and supported throughout their healing journey.
Life can feel overwhelming when stress, relationship challenges, difficult experiences, or emotional struggles begin affecting your ability to feel connected to yourself and the people around you. You may find yourself stuck in unhealthy patterns, struggling to communicate effectively, or carrying emotional burdens that continue to impact your daily life. Whether you are navigating challenges as an individual, within a relationship, or as part of a family system, therapy can provide a space to better understand what is happening and begin creating meaningful change.
I have been a social worker/therapist for 20+ years. I received my Masters degree at the University of Buffalo, in Upstate New York. I work with clients experiencing depression and anxiety. Together, we explore how thoughts influence feelings and how feelings shape behaviors. When patterns become unhelpful, they can interfere with relationships, work, and overall well-being. I help clients build insight and practical tools to create healthier, more empowering ways of responding to life's challenges.
Greetings!
I’m excited to welcome you to work with me. I’m a licensed clinical social worker with years of experience working with individuals who chose to focus on themselves in a holistic manner. I believe our minds, bodies and souls heal best when we address them jointly.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Tampa
Finding postpartum therapists in Tampa starts with looking for someone whose training matches the type of support you want. Postpartum concerns can include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. Some people also look for a prenatal depression therapist or a counselor for pregnancy support before or after birth. As you compare postpartum therapists, look for experience with perinatal mental health and signals of specialized training, such as the perinatal mental health certification, or PMH-C.
In a mid-sized city like Tampa, you may find a mix of therapists with local offices and therapists who offer virtual appointments across Florida. For new parents, virtual care can make it easier to fit sessions around infant care, physical recovery, and an unpredictable schedule. When narrowing your search, review whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that work for you, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading bios can also help you understand each therapist’s communication style, approach, and experience with postpartum depression counseling.
Therapy in Tampa can be a significant cost without insurance, and using in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for your location and specific plan and see upfront cost estimates before you book. You can compare postpartum therapists in Tampa, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
