Story

Jessica grew up in Marietta, surrounded by loving family and friends.  From a young age, she was involved in sports and felt pressure to excel both academically and athletically.  As a college athlete, she faced identity challenges, relationship struggles, and an eating disorder, which prompted her to seek counseling to help her understand and grow through what she was experiencing.  

Jessica has a passion to defend and care for those who feel misunderstood; this led her to pursue her bachelor’s degree in special education. After college, Jessica spent several years teaching middle and high school, where she saw first hand the daily struggles many young people face, including gender confusion, identity crises, and family trauma. Witnessing these battles shaped her decision to pursue her MA in counseling so that she could offer a safe, healing and purposeful space for those who are struggling.  Jessica believes many struggles are rooted in a misguided identity placement, and she has a passion to help others form a more grounded and stable sense of themselves.

While Jessica was raised in the church, she didn’t begin truly following Jesus until college. Her faith has been a major part of her healing, and she loves talking about the role Christ plays in every story. She especially enjoys working with children and adolescents who are dealing with anxiety and other emotional issues, along with teenage and young adults who are navigating internal battles. Jessica is passionate about meeting people where they are and helping them process the complex and overwhelming emotions so they can find direction and purpose in their pain, heal from trauma, and learn how to experience joy.

Jessica is happily married to her husband, a proud native Texan, and together they are raising their son.  She loves spending quality time with her family, exploring the outdoors, traveling, discovering local coffee shops, and living a healthy lifestyle. Above all, Jessica is passionate about growing in her faith and treasures time spent in God’s Word.
