You’re not too much. You’re not broken.
Personalized Therapy That Reaches Beyond the Surface Using EMDR, IFS and Somatic Integration
Welcome to therapy with Jessie
Do you feel like you're drowning?
Do you look at your life or your relationships and wonder how things got like this?
You don’t need another cardboard-cut-out-therapist who just sits there nodding at you.
You need a real, authentic healing relationship with a therapist who offers insight to help shift what’s been running your life.
I’m a Trauma-Informed EMDR and IFS Associate Psychotherapist based in Southern California. My clinical training is in trauma and relationships, but what I bring to therapy goes beyond credentials.
I bring myself.
I’m a fellow trauma survivor, newly minted member of the bereaved community (not fun btw), am an only child, and your friendly neighborhood Canadian!
I grew up learning how much relationships matter, both when they nurture and when they wound. These experiences fuel my passion for helping clients untangle what’s been stuck in order to help them build something new and more authentic.
Healing doesn’t have to look like perfection, it looks like becoming more fully, unapologetically yourself.
If you’ve felt unseen, unheard, or like no one really “gets it”...
That’s where I come in!
P.S.
Your animal friends are always
welcome
in session!

THE PROCESS
UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS
- Trauma-Informed tools like EMDR to help your nervous system release what your mind alone can’t “think” away.
- Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you care for the protective and wounded parts of yourself.
- Relational Healing or Couples Work to untangle cycles of disconnection and rebuild trust, whether with yourself or your partner.
- A therapeutic experience that’s real and genuine! You’ll have me in your corner for life, direct, compassionate, and invested.
In our work together, you can expect:
I don’t believe in
one-size-fits-all therapy.
Healing is personal.
- Steph B., Pasadena CA
I’ve done weekly therapy before, but this was the first time I felt like I had a therapist who knows me and cares about me.
Nothing is off the table. I'm forever grateful I found her.
What Clients Say About Therapy with jessie
“Working with Jessie is SO worth it!”
EMDR
Sessions
When talking isn’t enough, EMDR helps your nervous system let go of what’s been stuck. These sessions process trauma so you can finally move forward with life.
Couples
Sessions
Couples therapy isn’t about blame, it’s about breaking the cycle together. You’ll learn to hear each other differently, and build back trust and intimacy.
Individual therapy gives you a space that’s just for you. It's a place to be fully seen, and work through what feels heavy to carry by yourself.
