Background and Experience
During her time as a counselor for the Denton County Children’s Advocacy Center, Jessica worked with children and adolescents who were victims of sexual abuse. She also led an intermediate girls’ group, which ranged in size from 3-20 group members. Over the years, Jessica has counseled many children and adolescents at risk for self-harm, suicide, depression, anxiety and low self-esteem. As she has grown as a therapist she has developed a heart and passion for assisting adults with difficult life transitions. She loves working with college aged adults who are determining their career path and need help fostering their authentic self. Her warm approach to therapy helps build an environment where healing from struggles like low self-worth, shame and guilt can take place.
Education and Training
Jessica received a Bachelor of Psychology from University of North Texas as well as a Master of Arts in Counseling from Dallas Baptist University, with an emphasis on adolescents who were victims of sexual abuse. Currently, she is working on her PhD in Family Studies at Texas Woman’s University, where her focus is on life transitions and how the family impacts the success of overcoming difficult life transitions.
