About Therapy
Let go of what’s no longer serving you.
For most of your life, you’ve believed there’s something “wrong” with you. That nothing you do is right, your decisions can’t be trusted, and you keep feeling stuck no matter what you try.
Comparison, judgment and thoughts of “not good enough” dominate the narrative. Internally beating yourself up is a daily occurrence.
You want to live more joyfully, more whole-fully, but instead, you shrink yourself to please others – and that spark that makes you, YOU, is slipping away.
But there’s one very important thing you’ve forgotten…
You’re already whole and complete.
What if I told you that you already have everything you need within you? An inner wisdom that has gotten you through so much already, that can support you on your path towards healing and reconnection.
You are not the sum of your traumas. You are not “broken,” “unfixable,” or unworthy. The negative thoughts destroying your inner peace are not the truth of who you are.
As you re-gain your sense of Self, follow your intuition towards a path of alignment, and embody your values and purpose, you are able to fully step into your potential, leading you into a joyful life of connection and fulfillment.
Healing is answering the calling of your soul.
You want to get back to your Self, to all you are, and all the strength, power, love and grace you were born to embrace.
You imagine a life with more ease, connection, and peace. But you also fear you can’t reach it and are unsure where to start.
You’ve come to the right place.
Allow this to be your first step into the life you were meant to live. A space where you can be truly you. With no right or “wrong” way of healing.
About Me
Hi, I’m Jess. As a social worker in the field since 2006, I was originally trained in traditional cognitive behavioral and talk therapies. Over the years, both professionally and personally, I’ve experienced first hand the vital role of spirituality and a holistic approach in healing and overcoming mental health challenges.
Psychedelics, spirituality, and nature have been the catalysts for my healing journey, allowing me to regain a connection with my Self, others, and Something Greater.
Our work together builds on the foundation that we all have an innate wisdom within, and when given a voice can guide us and support us along our path of wholeness, balance, and purpose.
Assisted by psychedelic and natural plant medicines, mindfulness-based practices, and spiritual connection, clients get to explore the depths of their psyche and release somatic and energetic burdens in a safe and supportive environment.

In my free time…
Nature is my calm place. It’s where I feel most connected to Oneness, the universe, and the peace in my heart. I grew up on a farm, digging in the dirt and swimming in the river. I adore animals, plants, and the water.
I’m a homebody at heart. And spending time with my husband, family, and soul-dog restores my energy. You can find us paddleboarding the lake as much as allowable and playing frisbee at the park.
The path to wholeness begins here.
Together, we will work to help you regain your vibrancy and activate the inner healer that lies within.
Allow this to be your first step toward living your truth from a place of clarity and purpose. You deserve to feel more joy, release emotional pain, and feel the connection with your intuition, which will only become louder, stronger, and more present each day.
Your future self will thank you. Contact me now for a free virtual consultation: (719) 800-1233.
