For High-Functioning Adults and Couples Serving Los Angeles, Orange County & Beyond
when holding it all together stops working
Online EMDR + IFS Trauma Therapy
scroll
I’m a Trauma-Informed EMDR and IFS Associate Psychotherapist based in Southern California.
I work with adults across California, especially in Los Angeles and Orange County, who feel stuck in old patterns from trauma, people-pleasing, burnout, or perfectionism.
I’m also a trauma survivor, coffee lover, metaphor enthusiast, and someone who believes in the power of nervous system healing and real connection.
I help people get unstuck with warmth, radical authenticity and evidence-based tools so they can finally feel more calm, clear, and whole.
Sometimes the dog helps too...

Intensives
You need deep, focused healing without the start-and-stop of weekly therapy. You're ready to finally get 'unstuck'

You're circling the same arguments.
You feel more like roommates than partners. You love each other, but it’s not working.

Sessions

You’re high-functioning
but quietly overwhelmed.
You keep it together for everyone else,
but you can’t anymore.

Three pathways to help you heal, grow, and reconnect with yourself or someone you love

I’ve done therapy before, but this felt different. I was skeptical about EMDR and all the ‘parts stuff’ but working with Jessie was the best experience.

The
Therapy with Jessie
My work is rooted in anti-oppression values and I strive to create space that honors your full humanity and the systems that shape it.
Justice and healing are intertwined
My Anti-Racism and Social Justice commitment
I believe therapy should be a place where all parts of you are welcome, including how you identify, your sexuality, your culture, and the entirety of your lived experience.
