Hi, I’m Jessie! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over a decade of experience helping parents step into their role as the central, confident pillar of their family. As a certified Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) clinician and EMDR-trained therapist, I specialize in partnering with parents to overcome challenging behavior, reduce parenting stress, and restore peace at home.


I believe that strong, flourishing families start with empowered parents. Whether you are dealing with daily toddler tantrums, defiance, and aggression, or trying to navigate emotional distance with your teen, you don’t have to do it alone. Using evidence-based approaches we will replace daily home chaos with clear parental authority, deep mutual connection, and joy in everyday moments.
