Meet Jess, LCSW she/her/hers

Staff Psychotherapist at Embodying Compassion, Boston Psychotherapy

I primarily work with adult women navigating the effects of trauma, as well as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and other co-occurring mental health concerns.

Together, we work to develop a deeper awareness of your nervous system, strengthen the connection between your mind and body, and cultivate a greater sense of safety, regulation, and self-trust. We’ll explore patterns that may have once served as protection but no longer support the life you want to live, creating space for healing, resilience, and lasting change.

I take an active, experiential approach to therapy, inviting clients to be engaged participants in their healing both in and outside of our sessions. Rather than simply talking about change, we practice skills together in real-time, noticing how your nervous system responds to both past experiences and present-day environments. Through this process, you’ll develop a greater capacity to recognize your internal cues, regulate your nervous system, and respond to life’s challenges with increased flexibility and intention.

I integrate EMDR, trauma-informed yoga, mindfulness, and other somatic and neuroscience-informed approaches to support healing from the inside out. By learning to better understand and respond to your nervous system, you can develop greater emotional regulation, increased self-awareness, and a deeper connection with yourself and others.

Therapy is a collaborative process, and I believe lasting change happens when you feel safe enough to explore, curious enough to grow, and supported enough to practice new ways of being. Together, we’ll build on your strengths, deepen your connection with yourself, and develop practical tools that support lasting change. Wherever you are in your journey, I look forward to partnering with you as you move toward a life that feels more grounded, connected, and aligned with your values.
