About Jessica, LICSW
You don’t have to carry this all on your own.
I’m a Newton-based therapist who specializes in supporting women who are navigating anxiety, life transitions and self worth. After doing my Master's Degree in Social Work at Smith College, I've spent the last 20 plus years helping people heal and realize their inherent self worth.
My approach to therapy is integrative and tailored to each client's unique needs. I draw from evidence based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness based techniques, psychodynamic therapy, attachment based work, and parts work/ IFS informed approaches to support self understanding and lasting growth.
Alongside traditional therapeutic approaches, I value the connection between emotional healing, self awareness and personal growth. Through my own healing journey, I became interested in more holistic and mindfulness based practices such as intuition, gratitude, affirmations and mind body connection. When appropriate, I thoughtfully integrate these perspectives into therapy to support healing in a more balanced and meaningful way.
please Hear me when I say:
You haven't lost yourself, You’re still there
I want you to know that feeling emotionally exhausted or disconnected does not mean something is wrong with you. So many women spend years caring for everyone else while losing connection with themselves. Healing begins by creating space to slow down, reflect and reconnect with who you truly are.
How I work
At the core of my approach to therapy is a belief that every woman already holds the capacity for healing and growth within herself.
My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative and tailored to each client's unique experience and needs. I strive to create a supportive and judgment free space where women feel safe to openly explore life's challenges, gain insight and build healthier ways of coping. Together we work toward greater self understanding and reconnecting with the parts of yourself that may feel lost beneath stress, anxiety or life transitions.
