Hello and I am so glad you are here! My name is Jessica, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Oregon. I have 10 years experience working in mental health and specialize in work with people experiencing stress, anxiety, life changes, parenting concerns, caregiver burnout, compassion fatigue, and depression. I primarily practice Mindfulness Based Cognitive therapy, which means we will use mindfulness techniques, self awareness, and cognitive restructuring to help you make changes in your life. In our sessions you can expect to start with a mindfulness exercise to bring us into the present – this could look like a breathing exercise, a few minutes of guided imagery, or other mindfulness practice. We will then dive into exploring your thoughts, beliefs, and emotions and how they directly impact your daily life. We will then finish by looking at goals for the next week until we meet again. My ultimate goal for you is to see real and lasting change appear in your life as a result of our work. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
