A Northern Virginia native, Jessica earned her undergraduate degree from Georgetown University (Go Hoyas!) and a Master’s in Counselor Education from Virginia Tech. She attributes her flexible, conversational therapy style to her diverse clinical background and experience working with a wide range of populations and clinical presentations.

Her approach emphasizes collaboration, connection, and vulnerability as tools for growth. By identifying and challenging unhelpful thought patterns, fostering motivation, and encouraging authentic self-reflection, Jessica helps clients pave a path toward the kind of success they define for themselves. Known for her outgoing, warm, and energetic presence, she creates a space where clients feel both supported and inspired. Jessica is also a Certified Grief Counseling Specialist.

Just for fun:

When she’s not with clients, Jessica can be found diving deep into pop culture conversations, spending quality time with her friends, family, and cats—and indulging in plenty of shopping.
