About Jessica
Clients oftentimes like to avoid any circumstance that is going to evoke a negative emotion, growing their anxiety. I normalize the difficulty in facing these uncomfortable emotions and let my clients know that it will be a gradual process. I provide education on the Cycle of Anxiety and the importance of disrupting the avoidance behavior. As a result, clients make gradual and sustainable progress in their anxiety. They are better able to interact with others and feel a reduction of stress throughout the day.
After working with me, I hope my clients walk away knowing that what they are going through is normal. Everyone goes through similar things and it's okay to struggle.
Education
