Jessica has a rich background in mental health, having starting her career at NorthShore University Health System (formerly Evanston Northwestern Healthcare) in 1998. During her time there, she dedicated herself to providing exceptional care to individuals who were facing severe mental health disorders.

Since then, Jessica has expanded her expertise to various areas within the field of mental health and has worked with multiple non-profits and state health departments to further research in the areas of domestic violence, sexual assault and violence against LGBTQIA+ communities. Her involvement in these initiatives has given her invaluable insights into the unique needs of multiple populations and has driven her commitment to providing meaningful and inclusive care.

Jessica is currently licensed to provide tele-mental health counseling in Vermont, South Carolina and Florida. As a Florida State designated Qualified Supervisor for Registered Clinical Mental Health Interns, Jessica guides and mentors mental health professionals in their journey towards licensure. Her dedication to the growth and development of others in the field is a testament to her passion for creating a community of skilled and compassionate practitioners. Jessica is a Certified Perinatal Health practitioner (PMH-C) and volunteers as a Tampa Bay Area Support Coordinator for Postpartum Support International.

When working with Jessica, you can expect a compassionate, non-judgmental, and personalized approach. She understands that everyone's journey is unique, and tailors her support to meet each client's specific needs and goals. No matter where you are in your mental health journey or family-building process, Jessica is ready to provide you with guidance and support.
