About

She believes that each client is the expert on their own life and that by tapping into their inner and outer strengths, they can gain valuable insights into their struggles and pursue their aspirations. Through a collaborative approach, Jessie tailors her support to meet the unique needs of each individual. She holds the belief that everyone, at any stage of life, can benefit from emotional support and unconditional positive regard to heal and navigate unresolved challenges. By fostering a safe environment, Jessie encourages clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors as they work towards achieving their life goals. Jessie has successfully helped clients heal, grow, and develop effective coping skills. Her friendly and curious demeanor enriches the therapeutic experience.

Utilizing Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) approaches, Jessie recognizes the widespread impact of trauma on individuals and emphasizes the importance of creating a safe and supportive environment for healing. TIC involves understanding how trauma affects a person’s mental, emotional, and physical well-being, and Jessie integrates this understanding into all aspects of care. She is committed to employing a variety of therapeutic techniques, including Self-Compassion strategies, to support clients on their journey toward healthy living and recovery. This compassionate framework prioritizes safety, empowerment, and healing, ensuring that clients feel understood and supported. Jessie enjoys working with adults and older adolescents facing issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, familial conflict, relationship challenges, grief and loss, self-esteem concerns, and work-life balance.

Jessie identifies as a Black, Indigenous, or Person of Color (BIPOC) clinician and is passionate about cultural and racial diversity. She earned her master’s degree in clinical social work from the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) School of Social Work and a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in Psychology and International Studies at St. Mary’s College of Maryland. Throughout her graduate and undergraduate studies, Jessie worked with youth and adults in underserved communities. While volunteering abroad, Jessie used multicultural and culturally sensitive skills to serve individuals and families of diverse backgrounds. In her free time, she enjoys traveling, hiking, and leisure reading. Call today to make an appointment with Jessie.

Frequently asked

I work with older adolescents and adults experiencing a variety of challenges, including anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship difficulties, family conflict, grief and loss, self-esteem concerns, and work-life balance. My goal is to provide a supportive space where you can better understand yourself, build healthy coping skills, and move toward the life you want.
My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and strengths-based. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to help you discover the strengths and resources you already possess while providing guidance and support along the way. I integrate Trauma-Informed Care (TIC), self-compassion practices, and other evidence-based approaches to create a safe environment where healing, growth, and lasting change can occur.
Trauma-informed therapy recognizes that past experiences can significantly influence how we think, feel, and respond to the world around us. Rather than asking, "What's wrong with you?" I approach therapy by asking, "What has happened to you?" My priority is to create a safe, empowering, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel respected, understood, and supported while developing healthy ways to cope and heal.
Yes. As a BIPOC clinician, I am passionate about providing culturally responsive and inclusive mental health care. I recognize that culture, identity, family experiences, and systemic factors all influence emotional well-being. I strive to create a welcoming space where individuals from all backgrounds feel seen, heard, and respected. My goal is to provide therapy that honors your unique experiences, values, and personal identity.
Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and begin building a strong therapeutic relationship. We'll discuss what has brought you to therapy, explore your current concerns, strengths, and goals, and answer any questions you may have about the counseling process. My goal is to create a warm, compassionate, and collaborative environment where you feel comfortable sharing at your own pace as we work together toward meaningful healing and personal growth.
