Note from Jessica
I think that all people are capable of significant growth and change when they are safe, and have a strong supportive community that helps them process and understand their own experience.
I believe that therapists can be an integral part of building and maintaining this connection to others and self.
I strive to be as affirming and culturally competent as I am able while also acknowledging that I am a work in progress.
I also love all animals. Currently my favorite animal escapes are mushy faced dogs and videos of unlikely animal friends.
