Jessica is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Nationally Certified Counselor dedicated to helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges. She holds a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from Grand Canyon University and a Bachelor’s degree from Wheaton College.

With a clinical foundation rooted in trauma-informed care and attachment theory, Jessica specializes in transformative modalities including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Internal Family Systems (IFS). She also offers innovative treatment options such as Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) and Ketamine-Assisted EMDR to help clients process deep-seated life experiences and achieve sustainable wellness.

Before entering private practice, Jessica served as a social worker with a local Christian adoption agency, a role that deepened her understanding of family dynamics and resilience. Outside of the office, she is an active member of her church and the Central Phoenix Young Life community. Jessica and her husband of 17 years are former Safe Families volunteers and licensed foster parents; they live in Phoenix with their three children and Goldendoodle Millie who will hopefully join the Uptown PHX Counseling office.
