Therapy for Anxious Individuals Stuck In Overdrive
Do you find yourself stuck in the exhausting pursuit of “having it all together” - being the dependable one, the high achiever, the one who rarely asks for help? If this is you, chronic stress can leave both your mind and body overwhelmed, but you don’t have to manage the overwhelm alone.
​​
The individuals I commonly work with are highly self-aware. Perhaps you’ve explored therapy before and understand the ‘why,’ but somehow still feel exhausted by your mind and body running in overdrive. By slowing you down and helping you learn to reconnect with your body, we can help you finally give your mind that break it’s been looking for.
Hi, I'm Jessie
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in Los Angeles, CA. I hold a Master of Marriage and Family Therapy from Alliant University and have experience working in both school-based and private practice settings. I completed my initial clinical training at Counseling Partners of Los Angeles, working closely with students and their families to support academic and emotional development. I then spent a number of years working with adolescents and adults across two different private practice settings.
​
I believe in an approach that is both insight-oriented and focused on building practical skills to help you manage your emotions and experiences in your day to day life. My work integrates both mind and body, recognizing how deeply intertwined they are and how often clients feel disconnected from their bodies.
​
My style is warm, collaborative, and authentic. You are the expert in your own life, and the skills and strengths you bring to therapy set the foundation for our work. I tailor treatment to your unique needs, often pulling from a variety of approaches including attachment work, relational therapy, ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention), DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), and PRT (Pain Reprocessing Therapy). .
​
When I’m not in sessions you can find me walking my puppy Bud with my fiancé, driving up the coast to Santa Barbra for weekends, or trying new food spots around LA.

Chronic Illness Therapy
The pain of chronic illness isn't just physical. It can create feelings of loneliness/isolation, burnout, and desperation to find symptom relief. While physical symptoms may not have a "cure," reducing the mental load can significantly improve quality of life.
Eating Disorder Therapy
Eating disorders require a multifaceted approach and often involve collaboration of care between therapists, doctors, psychiatrists, and dietitians. Depending on your individual needs, weekly or twice weekly sessions may be most appropriate.
Individual Therapy
Whether you are navigating a life transition, coping with a traumatic event, or are struggling with anxiety or depression you don’t need to do it alone. I provide individual therapy for teens and adults in-person in Los Angeles and virtually throughout California.
Parent Support
My background working with children & teens has provided me insight into many of the challenges of parenting as well as effective strategies for a more cohesive home. I support parents with evidence-based strategies for supporting their children and teens.
