Jessie is drawn to the field of couples and family therapy for its holistic approach to individual and relational challenges. A former professional writer, Jessie brings keen attention to the power of language and narrative to her work with individuals, couples/constellations, and families.

 

Jessie draws on client-centered, strengths-based approaches, and believes her role is to create a safe therapeutic space where curiosity, empathy and ultimately hope abound. She brings a social-justice lens to her work, recognizing how dominant discourses and power structures affect the working models of self and intimacy for individuals and relational systems. Her clinical interests include working with families experiencing change, such as the birth of a child or the loss of a loved one, supporting honest and compassionate ways of relating to oneself and others, parent/child relationships, mind-body awareness, and ecological grief. Jessie is gentle, curious and engaged, and would be honored to work alongside you.

 

Currently a second year master’s student at Antioch University, Jessie has an MFA from Vermont College of Fine Arts and a BA from Middlebury College.
