02 · In Jessica's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
Life can feel stressful, overwhelming, and at times difficult to navigate-especially when you’re trying to create meaningful, lasting change in yourself, your relationships, or your life. Reaching out for support is not always easy, and I strive to create a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and supported from the very beginning.
I take a person-centered, mindfulness-based approach, meeting you where you are and working collaboratively to help you move toward your goals. I believe that you already have the capacity for growth and change within you; my role is to help you access those inner strengths, build insight, and develop practical tools that feel authentic and sustainable.
I have over 8 years of experience working with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, substance use, relationship challenges, and difficulties with boundaries and communication. Whether you’re looking for support, clarity, or a space to process and grow, we will work together to find what feels most helpful for you.
I would be honored to be part of your journey toward greater understanding, balance, and change. I am currently accepting new clients and would love to connect.

03 · What happens next
Jessica practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Jessica's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Jessica at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Jessica is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Jessica.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
04 · Practical details
05 · Provenance
Jessica's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 8 Nov 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.
The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.
Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Jessica. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.

Maker Therapy is user-supported - when you start through our links we may earn a commission from BetterHelp at no extra cost to you.
