Reclaim Your Life

Meet Your Therapist

Hi, I’m Jess.

At the heart of my practice is a passion for helping people heal from trauma and get their lives back. Whether you grew up in a chronically stressful household or have a memory you just cannot seem to let go of, you deserve a healthy present and future! I have seen time and time again the power of accelerated resolution therapy to accomplish this in a significantly shorter amount of time than traditional therapy and invite everyone to try it-but we will work together to determine what modality is right for you.

I am from Chicago and it shows in my therapeutic style. I pride myself on being kind but direct (no bs here!) and I use humor often.  I moved to AZ to be surrounded by nature but my passion for helping my community heal remains unchanged.

I am not a blank slate or neutral therapist! I am open about my own life and beliefs because it helps build trust. A compassionate and non-judgmental atmosphere is what you can expect when you walk into my office. I am committed to working with all clients regardless of identity, race, health status, national origin, relationship status, sexual orientation, disability, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and religion.

I look forward to meeting with you and learning more about your story!

  • An accelerated resolution therapy session lasting three hours. Best for individuals who want deep healing and relief without feeling rushed by time constraints. Useful for complex trauma as well. Includes two 15min breaks and snacks.

  • Integrative in nature using evidence-based techniques and mindfulness. Best for individuals comfortable with the traditional, weekly model of therapy. Telehealth available.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is an evidenced-based, rapid-eye-movement therapy for treatment of trauma, anxiety, depression, phobias, self-esteem problems and other issues.  ART uses bilateral brain stimulation and voluntary image replacement to change the way the brain stores distressing images and sensations in as little as one session. I offer this in single sessions and intensive format (3hrs).

Accelerated Resolution Therapy

Are you a good candidate for an ART Intensive?

  • Do you want to go deeper in a shorter amount of time than weekly therapy?

  • Do you need the safe container provided by a longer session?

  • Have you tried other therapeutic modalities and still feel stuck?

  • Do you have a history of trauma, C-PTSD, depression, anxiety, abuse, addiction, or relationship issues?

  • Do you want to resolve your trauma without talking about it in detail?
