In the digital world , bonds form quickly over the Internet. No matter the circumstances surrounding the connection, feelings are still feelings. Our feelings get hurt for any number of reasons, but when the connection begins to feel too strong or feels a little unusual, the connection can become overwhelming. Have you ever been catfished? Have you been scammed by someone impersonating someone else or been suddenly let down by expectations you didn't even realize you had? I was misled in a romantic scam, formed unrealistic bonds with people I never intended to meet in person, and felt intensely connected to the idea of someone who was just a fantasy. I've helped friends pull back from the edge of diving too deeply in an unhealthy digital relationship and helped them reassess and redirect that abundant energy flooding in. I learned to check my own developing emotions and spot red flags. Para social relationships are a consequence of the digital world. Let's talk about it together.

After five years of celibacy and deep self-reflection, I re-entered the dating world only to realize healing is not a one-time destination, but it’s a continual journey. I had to unlearn patterns, recognize my attraction to emotionally unavailable partners, and slowly open myself up to love again without losing myself. What I discovered is that healed dating is about discernment, boundaries, and emotional safety. It’s about recognizing your worth, refusing to settle, and creating the type of love you once thought you couldn’t have. I look forward to helping you navigate the same space.

I wasn’t really able to get to the bottom of my healing process until I started to connect my shortcomings to things I had experienced in the past. Whether it was my need to control everything around me or my tendency to dissociate in stressful situations, once I realized the events in my life that caused this conditioning, I was able to change the framework in my brain in order to approach situations in a more productive way. Trauma continuously happens throughout your life, and if left unaddressed can further deteriorate your mental health as you age. The good news, however, is that once you get a grasp on your past traumas, you become much more aware of traumas as they happen. Eventually, this leads to the harmonious practice of mindfulness - basically addressing and processing emotions as they happen so that they don't accumulate and leave you feeling stuck.

Talk with me about the ups and downs of living with bipolar: especially the crashes that can feel heavy, frustrating, and out of your control. I’ve been there myself. Over time, I’ve learned to see those crashes not as personal failures, but as my body’s wisdom calling me to rest and restore. In this session, you’ll have a safe space to process what you’re experiencing, release self-judgment, and begin to reframe your relationship with your cycles. Together, we’ll explore gentle ways to honor your body, stabilize your emotions, and move forward with compassion for yourself.

I’ve had roles that looked great on paper with titles, recognition, and fast growth, but they still left me feeling disconnected, unfulfilled, or like something was missing. I’ve changed careers four times in search of clarity, each shift fueled by that quiet inner nudge that said, “This isn’t it.” Through each pivot, I wasn’t chasing status. I was chasing meaning. I wanted to feel aligned, competent, and like my work mattered. What I’ve learned is that purpose doesn’t show up all at once. Instead, it’s built, uncovered, and revealed through small moments of truth, courage, and awareness. If you’re in a role that feels misaligned, or you’re asking, “What am I doing all this for?”, you’re not alone. I help people reconnect with what matters, redefine success, and find clarity when the spark fades. You don’t have to start over to feel purposeful, but you do have to start listening.

Grief and trauma have shaped much of my adult life, and for a long time, I didn’t know how to live with the weight of them. Therapy helped me understand the deeper roots of my pain, but I still needed a way to express what I couldn’t say out loud. That’s when I turned to art. At first, it was just something to do with my hands when my mind felt too loud. But over time, it became a way to calm my nervous system, explore old wounds safely, and begin healing on my own terms. Now, I use creative expression (painting, writing, collaging) as a way to help others access their emotions and gently move through them. I've seen how powerful it can be for people to make something out of their pain, to step back and see it from a new angle. It doesn’t have to be “good art”, it just has to be honest. Creativity helped me find clarity, regulation, and even joy again. I’d love to support you in discovering what it can do for you.

I want to be your cheerleader and help you celebrate your wins in life! Whether its a small win or a big win, it's important to acknowledge and celebrate all your life wins! I'd love to be there for you if you'd like to share your life wins! Let's celebrate them together! I've learned how important it is to celebrate each of these wins and how it feels even that much better when you get to share the good news with someone else. My family, friends, & coworkers have always nicknamed me their cheerleader. I would love to be that person for you! We can drink coffee & have a great conversation and even celebrate with a silent dance party if you want! I can't wait to celebrate your wins with you!

Leaving an emotionally abusive relationship can feel disorienting. Like stepping out of a fog and realizing you don’t quite recognize your own reflection. I know the shame, self-doubt, and slow unraveling that can follow, even when you know you did the right thing. I also know how hard it can be to explain what you went through when there were no bruises, only invisible cuts to your self-worth. Whether you’ve just left, are still untangling yourself, or have been out for years but still feel haunted, I offer a space where you don’t have to justify or downplay what you lived through. We can talk about the aftermath: identity loss, loneliness, even lingering connection, honestly and gently, at your pace.

I’m Jess, a life coach who specializes in guiding people through shadow work, inner child healing, and self-reparenting. My own journey of growth and healing has given me deep self-awareness, empathy, and an intuitive understanding of the therapeutic process. I know what it means to face old wounds and transform them into strength, clarity, and self-acceptance. I help clients alchemize their experiences — turning pain into wisdom, and patterns into power. Together, we explore the parts of you that have been hidden, hurt, or silenced, and bring them into light with compassion. My role is to create a safe, empowering space where you can reconnect with your inner child, practice self-love, and learn to stand fully in your own truth.

As an artist, I've had my share of creative slumps. I grew up drawing, painting, sculpting, and even writing at times. Creating was always a part of my life. But, marriage, divorce, remarriage, childcare, teaching and other life events sometimes took up my time, and sometimes they took my spirit. Even since reinventing my life, I've had days, weeks, months where I've struggled to pick up my supplies and make something. Sometimes you know the spark is in there, but it gets smothered by life, grief, juggling responsibilities and adulting in general. Have you ever wondered how to reignite yours? If you're dealing with a creative slump, let's work through it together. Whether you want someone to talk you through it, create a plan, or body double, I'm happy to be your accountability partner.

As an artist, much of my life can feel like reinvention and rebirth, but at the center of all my iterations are a set of core values that is unshakeable and provides a thread through all of my stories, projects, aesthetic changes, relationships, and interests. It's been invaluable to feel grounded by my beliefs, even as goals shift. I'd love the opportunity to help you define those for yourself; to give you a sense of unshakable structure that you can use for all kinds of decisions: Does this new romantic partner share my values? Does this potential new gig line up with what I want to support? Does buying this new outfit/gadget/decoration reflect my innermost desires? Let's chat and find what anchors you to be able to make each move with confidence.

I spent years asking myself, Am I really an alcoholic? I could hold down a job and show up for my life so I convinced myself I was fine. But deep down, I knew I wasn’t. I was drinking too much and I couldn’t moderate. I would make rules and break them by dinner. I finally joined a peer support platform in May 2021 and got sober for the first time. I felt relief… until I relapsed four months later. I was devastated. I thought I had failed. But instead of disappearing into shame, I reached back out to the same community and that choice changed everything. Since September 7, 2022, I’ve stayed sober. I learned that relapse doesn’t erase the work you’ve done; it reveals where you still need support. I also learned how important it is to not wait for a rock bottom, you can choose sobriety simply because you want better. Now, I help others navigate those early questions and hard days. I offer my story, my support, and my full belief that you’re not alone, even if this isn’t your first try.
