I absolutely love Jessica! She is kind and we mesh so well! She listens to me and tells me exactly what she’s thinking. It’s refreshing to have someone be honest with you and not water down responses. I respect that she is truthful with me yet kind and gentle. She is absolutely perfect!

In a culture where seeking therapy is often misunderstood, I emphasize the importance of embracing vulnerability and acknowledging that everyone needs help at some point in their lives. I graduated from Prairie View A&M University with my Bachelor's degree in Psychology in 2009 and my Master's in Counseling in 2011 and have worked in the mental health field for the past 13 years. I specialize in working with a diverse clientele, including children, adults, and couples. My mission is to provide a supportive and nurturing space for those who are ready to embark on the journey to personal growth and mental well-being, helping you or your child find the best version of themselves and live to full potential.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
