About Jeanessa

I have always found myself wanting to help others.  Early in my career I worked in higher education counseling college students.  I really enjoyed this, but noticed that many of their struggles stemmed from their relationships with family, friends, and others. This is when I decided to make a career change and go into marriage and family therapy.  Somehow this just felt right and I knew that this was the best choice for me when I was excited each day to do what I love.  I have found that the reason I am passionate about therapy is that each day I get to help others on their journey to self-discovery.  I bring the experience of being a mother of three, a wife, as well as all of my education and experience with me into the therapy office, which has all helped me to become the nonjudgmental, empathetic therapist that I consistently strive to be.

We all have a unique story; some with great obstacles, but each part of our story contributes to who we are and who we will become.  We all have the potential to grow and be our best self in whatever way you define this, and you don’t have to do it alone. I enjoy working with all ages, couples and families, to explore new areas of growth, heal wounds from the past, by creating a warm, safe, and supportive environment.
