“We cannot change, we cannot move away from what we are, until we thoroughly accept whatwe are. Then change seems to come about almost unnoticed.”

-Carl R. Rogers

Hi there! I’m Jessica, and I’m so happy to be apart of the Centered Life team!

My goal as your therapist is to help you find the tools you already have from within. So often during our darkest moments is when we are the hardest on ourselves. I plan to be that support you’re missing. Your collaborator, advocate, someone that teaches you how to trust yourself so you can succeed without me. I offer a safe space to explore the ups and downs of life together, and help you learn new habits and ideologies that lead to meaningful change.

I work closely with adults, teens, adolescents, and children with autism, drawing from a wide range of experiences to support individuals and their families with care and understanding. These connections have shown me just how powerful a positive outlook and a shift in perspective can be in creating meaningful change.

Outside of work, you’ll find me trying out new local restaurants with my friends and family, or working on another home-improvement project that I decided to DIY.

Remember, the answers you’re looking for are already within you—I’m just here to help you

find them!
