TESTIMONIALS
CARING...
"As a newly engaged couple, we knew pre-marital counseling was important to both of us., so we did our homework trying to find a Christian counselor that would fit our needs. A simple phone call put us in touch with Jessica--who has no doubt been a God-send. We both feel completely comfortable with her, and she does such a great job of lovingly helping us through whatever challenges we are facing . We finished our pre-marital counseling with a bag full of tools that we can now use to help guide us throughout our marriage. Jessica has truly been a blessing to us, and we thank God for her regularly. She has been a great asset to building the foundation of strength that will allow us to successfully grow old together."
COMPETENT...
"It's hard put into words how helpful Jessica has been. She is wise, open and raw in the most relatable way, and has a truly caring heart. Jessica has given me support and guidance on so many different areas of my life. I initially saw Jessica for anxiety and have seen not only the anxiety decrease substantially through her guidance but also other pressures I was carrying. She also has impressive training in the field of psychology and counseling, so her practical guidance has given me steps to take on a daily basis that have gotten me from point A to point B. I'm not sure where I would be today without her dedication to my healing, but I am so incredibly thankful that she has come alongside of me on my journey. She is a sincere person and incredibly gifted counselor."
HELPFUL...
"Jessica's warm and caring demeanor has offered me the safe atmosphere I've needed to address lifelong unhealthy patterns of thinking and behavior related to dysfunctional family of origin issues, childhood sexual abuse and multiple traumas. Her therapeutic style has been rather holistic and flexible, using diverse skills, therapeutic tools and types of therapies as needed for my healing process. She has been supportive of my needs and sensitive to my trust issues and fear of change by including me in the planning process and helping me learn how to accept change as it comes. Jessica continues to help me understand my childhood experiences and how they affect my adulthood. Through the use of Prolonged Exposure Therapy, the effects of childhood traumas have less impact on my life and I am no longer in bondage to the fears and behaviors of avoidance related to those specific traumas. Jessica challenges my unhealthy ways of coping and distorted thinking by teaching me to identify the distortions, find and put into practice healthier alternatives, and by providing constructive feedback and guidance. She continues to help me better understand myself and others in my life. One thing I personally appreciate is that Jessica intentionally listens to my problems and processes my issues through the lens of the Holy Spirit. This example has been encouraging to me as I learn how to process my issues for myself, learn how to make healthy choices, learn how to deepen my faith, trust and relationship with Jesus and discover my identity in Him. I am thankful to be on this journey and grateful for Jessica's part in it."
