Jessica is a licensed professional counselor trained in EMDR and certified in clinical trauma. She received her bachelor’s degree from Ohio University, and her master’s degree from Northern Illinois University. She treats teens and adults. She specializes in trauma and PTSD, substance abuse, addiction, co-dependency, coping skills, dual diagnosis, emotional disturbance, relationship issues, self-esteem, self-harming, and women's issues. Jessica values creating a safe, non-judgmental space in which a trusting relationship can be built through curiosity, compassion, and humor. Because of her trauma-focused lens and experience, she know that humans are who they are because of what they have experienced. This creates both strengths and barriers for how people walk through the world, and my goal is to identify and use your strengths to reduce your barriers. She offers a CBT/narrative base, and adaptive practice that also integrates theories/modalities/interventions that work for you. She is EMDR trained, which is an amazing intervention for reducing the power our barriers hold.
