She has nearly 2 decades of experience in the field of mental health, beginning by volunteering on a crisis and suicide hotline and including drop-in counselling programs, commumity mental health, addiction treatment facilities, and private practice. Jessica is passionate about working with suicidal ideation, self-harm, addictions, eating disorders, trauma, complex PTSD,  interpersonal difficulties, life transitions, and the range of other life stressors that bring people to therapy. The foundation of her therapeutic practice is DBT, balancing acceptance and validation with behavioral change strategies. She incorporates other modalities into this framework, emphasizing the development of self-compassion, bodily awareness, and understanding how even behaviors that cause us problems are our brain’s best efforts to protect us and cultivate resiliency. Jessica firmly believes that it is the connection between therapist and client that heals, and sees herself as a caring consultant with her clients as the experts of their own experience; she approaches the work of therapy with empathy, warmth, and a little humor.  When she’s not working, Jessica loves lifting weights, reading, exploring the city with headphones and a coffee, and spending time with her family.

“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom” -Anais Nin
