Who I work withMy clients are doing some of the most interesting work of their lives.
They are people who already live with intention. They lead substantive professional lives and meaningful personal lives. They are fortunate by their own description, and they are not satisfied with that being the end of the story.
They come to therapy because they want to know themselves better. They want to see what they can’t see. They want to understand what’s holding them back, what they keep recreating in their relationships, what gets in the way of how they actually want to live.
They are not in crisis. They are not failing at their lives. They are people who have built something real and want to live it more deeply.
How I work: A different kind of therapy
My approach is structured, evidence-based, and substantive. I do not do open-ended therapy that circles the same ground year after year. I work with you on what you actually came to work on, and I tell you when I think we're getting somewhere — and when I think we're done.
For individual work, I use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a structured, body-based approach to trauma and the experiences that quietly shape how we live. I also work with clients on questions of meaning, identity, and the deeper kind of self-understanding that often emerges in the second half of life — including for clients navigating illness, major decisions, or inflection points that ask them to reconsider what they want.
For couples, I integrate the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). Gottman gives us tools and language for the patterns. EFT addresses the emotional roots underneath. Together they offer something neither approach does alone.
I hold a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision and an MBA. The combination shapes how I think about the work — clinically rigorous, and grounded in the realities of how people who lead substantive lives actually move through the world.

Hi, I’m Jessie.
I am a licensed mental health counselor with a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision and an MBA. I work with adults and couples via telehealth in Massachusetts and Washington. I also supervise pre-licensed clinicians and teach in a CACREP-accredited Clinical Mental Health Counseling program.
My practice is private pay. I can guide you through the process of submitting to your insurance for reimbursement, but I do not file directly with insurance. The work my clients are doing benefits from being guided by what’s actually useful to them rather than what a billing code allows. It also keeps the work fully confidential, which matters.
