I am Jessica and have been practicing clinically for 4 years with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, eating disorders, and substance use. My approach is being open, non-judgmental, and believing everyone has the ability to make a difference. I look forward to taking the journey of healting with you!
Hi! My name is Clarissa, and I specialize in working with people who feel emotionally burnt out and are struggling to stay afloat. Life can get really overwhelming, and sometimes we need someone who will listen, ask thoughtful questions, and help us untangle everything that's been on our minds. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, past trauma, or simply feeling stuck, we'll work together to understand what you're going through and figure out what to do next.
I think that therapy works best when it's a partnership. Instead of me telling you what your life should look like, we will explore what feels right for you and go at your pace. I work with adolescents and adults from diverse backgrounds and offer therapy in both English and Spanish. Whether this is your first experience with therapy or you've been in counseling before, you're welcome here. I hope to hear and see you for who you are.

My dedication to helping others was shaped by formative life experiences and strengthened through years of personal growth and professional development. Serving as a medic in the military was a pivotal experience that deepened my commitment to walking alongside people during moments of crisis, uncertainty, and vulnerability. Since then, I have supported individuals through a variety of roles, gaining a deeper appreciation for the resilience people demonstrate while navigating life’s most difficult challenges.
Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals across the lifespan experiencing trauma, grief, mental health concerns, major life transitions, involvement with the legal system, and other significant stressors. These experiences have expanded my understanding of the many ways people adapt, heal, and create meaningful change.
My education and clinical training have strengthened my therapeutic skills while continuing to shape my empathy, curiosity, and respect for each person’s unique story. I am especially drawn to an Adlerian approach, which emphasizes holistic care, social connection, personal strengths, and the belief that every individual has the capacity for growth and fulfillment. I integrate evidence-based practices within this framework to help clients develop insight, build resilience, and move toward meaningful change.
In therapy, I strive to create a supportive and authentic space where individuals can explore vulnerability, develop self-awareness, and approach themselves with compassion rather than judgment. I believe that courage and connection are essential parts of healing, and that when people recognize their strengths and feel understood, they can move toward greater well-being and a more fulfilling life.

Life can look perfectly fine from the outside while feeling overwhelming on the inside. You may be constantly overthinking, emotionally exhausted, questioning yourself, or caught in patterns that leave you feeling stuck. Maybe anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, or difficult life experiences have made it harder to feel like yourself. Whatever brought you here, you don't have to figure it out alone.
Therapy is a place where you'll be heard, understood, and challenged in ways that support meaningful growth. Together, we'll make sense of what's been keeping you stuck, discover what matters most to you, and create a path forward that feels authentic to the life you want to build. If you already know your goals, we'll work toward them. If you're not sure where to begin, we'll figure that out together. My approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) while integrating other evidence-based approaches to meet your unique needs.
I don't believe you need to become someone else to build a better life. More often, the work is about removing the barriers that have kept you from becoming the person you've always been capable of being. Over time, many clients find they feel calmer, more confident, less controlled by anxiety or past experiences, and more trusting of themselves. They build healthier relationships, set stronger boundaries, and move through life with greater clarity, resilience, and purpose. My hope is that therapy becomes not just a place to process what's difficult, but a place where lasting change begins.
