Hi, I’m Jess!
I understand how much anxiety, depression, and trauma can impact daily functioning. I take a gentle, nonjudgmental approach to teaching you how to go from operating in panic mode to operating in practical decision-making mode.
I am a certified psychologist and executive functioning specialist working with adults with trauma histories. I’ve spent 10+ years in the field working in residential treatment settings, mental health clinics, and schools and my experience has taught me how much trauma impacts executive functioning, Trauma affects your daily life from focusing on work to doing chores to engaging positively with family and friends. I have worked with so many intelligent, talented people who were just stuck in a fear state. I partnered with these individuals to help them achieve their career goals, organize their homes in a way that felt personal and unique to them, reconnect with their hobbies and interests, significantly reduce their stress level, and build fulfilling lives both personally and professionally. The reason I love this work is because I get to see results in real time. I have seen my clients advance their careers, form positive habits, establish consistent daily routines, build resilience, and take better care of their physical and emotional health. I am in awe of my clients’ success every day. My coaching style is holistic, which means that I spend time getting to know you and what makes you tick. We identify your strengths and growth areas, prioritizing balance and overall well-being.
