A Note from Jessica

Hi,

If you're considering therapy, it's probably a thought you've been carrying for some time. Most people spend years wondering if it could help before they finally reach out and often wish they hadn't waited so long.

In the meantime, we do our best to cope, but those strategies can keep us stuck instead of helping us truly move forward.

I created Bridge & Roots Counseling LLC to offer meaningful change through evidence-based care and a compassionate therapeutic relationship.

My goal is to create a calm space where you can safely open up, receive honest, caring feedback, and even find a little humor when it's helpful. I want you to leave each session feeling lighter and better equipped to face your challenges.

I proudly welcome Latino/a, LGBTQ+, and other communities that have too often felt unseen in healthcare spaces. I also offer a sliding fee scale for qualifying clients without insurance.

Relief from the pain holding you back may be closer than you think. Let's get started together.

Kindly,
Jessica
