Jessica specializes in trauma-informed care. She is a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, as well as a Compassion Fatigue and Grief Counseling Specialist. Jessica has a special, and personal, understanding when working with those struggling with childlessness, as well as step-parents and childless step-parents. Jessica also reserves deep admiration for the teachers of the world. Having been a School Adjustment Counselor for a decade, she offers Compassion Fatigue Critical Care to teachers who are feeling the ever-increasing stress of being a teacher in the current educational environment.

​

Jessica has also successfully trained and certified as a First and Second Degree Practitioner of the Usui System of Reiki Healing. Jessica utilizes the healing energy of Reiki to increase the well-being of clients and to decrease symptoms of stress, pain, depression, and trauma.

​ A Disney fanatic and former cosmetics executive, Jessica takes to heart these two quotes:

 “Leave it better than you found it.” Bruce Nordstrom

and

“Whatever you do, do it well. Do it so well that when people see you do it they will want to come back and see you do it again, and they will want to bring others and show them how well you do what you do.” Walt Disney

 

In her spare time, Jessica is passionate about animal rescue, music, and (of course) Disney. She also enjoys painting and reading. When she is not rallying for mental health wellness, she can be found with her husband Greg, their cats Raine and Blue, and their puppy, Cinder.
