Jess The LCSW

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker born, raised, and based in the Los Angeles, CA area. I obtained a Bachelor's degree in both Psychology and Sociology from Loyola Marymount University, as well as a Master of Social Work degree with an emphasis in Mental Health from the University of Southern California. Fight On! I am passionate about this work. I am dedicated to fighting Mental Health Stigma everyday, in every setting, and every interaction. I believe in this process. 

I have over 11 years of clinical experience providing therapy to clients across the lifespan. I have the most success working with individuals ranging from teen to the aging population, in areas including but not limited to anxiety and depression management, post-traumatic stress, self esteem issues, and difficulty adjusting to life transitions. I incorporate several therapeutic approaches in my work with clients including psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused, person-centered, strength-based, all while maintaining a trauma informed care perspective.

 My clients value the therapeutic relationships we create with one another and appreciate my calm and authentically compassionate demeanor. Clients of all ages and cultural backgrounds have shared that they experience a sense of comfort and safety as we work together. My focus is to help you heal while navigating and challenging the real and self-perceived barriers that have been keeping you from reaching the healthiest version of yourself.
