Rare Immediate Therapy Openings 🤍

I don’t often have immediate availability, but I currently have a few openings for new clients.

I work with women, young adults, and teens who are capable, thoughtful, and often carrying a lot. Many are “functioning” on the outside while feeling anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or impacted by past experiences on the inside. A lot of people I work with have tried therapy before and are looking for something that feels more intentional, steady, and relieving.

My work is trauma-informed and grounded in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and gentle somatic approaches. Therapy with me is structured but human—focused on helping your nervous system settle, creating safety, and supporting meaningful change without pressure or re-hashing everything over and over.

Clients often share that therapy here feels:
• Calm and grounding
• Respectful of their pace
• Clear in direction
• Focused on healing, not just “getting through”

I offer in-person sessions in Fallon and telehealth throughout Nevada.
New openings are available on a private-pay basis, which allows flexibility, consistency, and care that isn’t driven by insurance limitations.

If this resonates, you’re welcome to reach out and see if it feels like a good fit.

In therapy, it is not uncommon to go through phases in which many clients are navigating a similar theme or challenge. Recently, grief has been a common presence in the therapy room—and in my own life.
Grief is an inescapable and often misunderstood human experience. It isn’t something to fix or rush through, and it isn’t a sign that something has gone wrong. It is a natural response to loss, change, and love.
As Megan Devine so clearly names it:
“Grief is not a problem to be solved. It is an experience to be carried.”
When grief is met with acceptance rather than pressure, there is often more space to care for ourselves with intention—slowing down, staying connected, and allowing the nervous system to move at a human pace.

You’re the one who shows up.
You function. You handle things. People rely on you.

And still… something feels off.

You might feel tense for no clear reason.
Tired in a way rest doesn’t fix.
Calm on the outside, unsettled underneath.

I work with women like this — and with parents who are trying to stay regulated while supporting a child whose nervous system is overwhelmed.

This space is for:
• healing without pressure
• understanding what your body has been carrying
• learning how to create safety — for yourself and for your family

Nothing here is about pushing, fixing, or reliving everything.
Just grounded support, at your pace.

If that resonates, you’re welcome here 🤍

High-functioning women often live outside their circle of control —
managing emotions, anticipating reactions, holding relationships together.

That didn’t come from nowhere.
It came from learning early that safety depended on awareness, responsibility, and keeping the peace.

If this feels familiar, it’s not because you lack boundaries or insight.
It’s because your nervous system learned how to survive by maintaining connection at all costs.

Healing doesn’t mean forcing yourself to “let go.”
It means working gently with the body and brain so releasing control no longer feels like a threat.

I work with women who are tired of carrying what was never meant to be theirs.

You can be high-functioning and still carrying emotional weight or trauma.

A lot of women I work with aren’t falling apart.
They’re capable, responsible, insightful… and tired.

Tired of:
• over-responsibility in relationships
• staying emotionally guarded
• bracing for conflict or disappointment
• repeating patterns they understand but can’t seem to shift

That doesn’t mean you’re broken.
It means your nervous system learned early how to survive stressors, difficult events, and relationships.

In the new year I am offering a focused, time-limited therapy experience for women who want to work on one core pattern—gently, intentionally, and without committing to open-ended therapy.

It’s called The Restorative Reset.
Six sessions. Grounded. Trauma-informed.

This work includes Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), a structured and gentle approach that allows the brain and nervous system to process stress, nervous system responses, and trauma without retelling everything or becoming overwhelmed.

You don’t need to be in crisis to do meaningful therapy work.
You just need to be ready to stop carrying what was never yours to hold.

If this resonates, the first step is a brief, no-pressure consult to see if it’s a good fit 🤍

As we step into a new year, I want to pause for the people who are quietly carrying a lot.

The ones who function well on the outside…
but feel stuck, exhausted, or emotionally weighed down on the inside.

If 2025 asked you to survive, cope, or push through—
2026 gets to be about something different.

Not fixing yourself.
Not forcing positivity.
Not rushing healing.

Just creating space to gently loosen what your nervous system has been holding onto for a long time.

Trauma doesn’t always show up as memories—it shows up as tension, avoidance, self-doubt, sleep issues, performance anxiety, or a sense that you’re always bracing for something. And healing doesn’t have to mean reliving everything to move forward.

This coming year, in my work I’m leaning into:
• safety before insight
• relief over rehashing
• and helping people feel more like themselves again

If this resonates, you’re welcome to learn more or reach out when it feels right.

Here’s to a year of steadier ground, quieter minds, and meaningful relief 🤍

Dental anxiety is one of the most common — and misunderstood — forms of anxiety I see.
If your body reacts before your mind has a say, you’re not failing.
Gentle, trauma-informed support can help your nervous system finally feel safe again.
✨ Relief is possible.

💛 My Christmas wish for the amazing women in this community— the Gift of grace.

Many women experience complicated family dynamics during the holidays.
If the holidays bring up a mix of love, tension, guilt, grief, or that familiar knot in your stomach—you’re not imagining it, and you’re definitely not alone.

For a lot of women, this season highlights old patterns:
Trying to keep the peace.
Bracing for comments that sting.
Over-explaining choices that don’t need defending.
Feeling torn between wanting connection and needing space.
If that’s you, I want you to hear this like you would from a trusted friend:

✨ You’re allowed to protect your emotional wellbeing and still care about your family.

One thing that helps many women is shifting how they think about boundaries during the holidays.

Instead of trying to change anyone else, boundaries are about how you take care of yourself.

That might look like:
• Leaving a conversation when it turns critical
• Sharing less personal information this year
• Shortening visits or spacing out calls
• Letting “no” be enough—even when it feels uncomfortable

Another gentle shift is releasing expectations that have only led to hurt, and choosing standards that support your nervous system. Not everyone can show up the way we wish they would—and that realization can be painful and freeing.

And if guilt shows up when you start doing things differently?
That doesn’t mean you’re being unkind.
It often means you’re breaking a pattern you were taught to maintain.
🌿 You don’t have to explain yourself perfectly.
🌿 You don’t have to stay longer than feels safe.
🌿 You don’t have to sacrifice your peace to prove your love.
If the holidays feel heavier than joyful, be gentle with yourself.
You’re navigating something tender—and doing the best you can.

💬 If this resonates, I hope you know you’re not alone in it.

Warm Wishes,

Jessica

A personal update I want to share 🤍

This work has always been deeply personal to me. I care a lot about how therapy is practiced, who it’s accessible to, and how I can continue doing this work in a way that’s ethical, grounded, and sustainable.

Beginning in 2026, I will only be able to accept new clients on a private-pay basis.

I want to clarify something important:
I have never accepted private insurance. Up to this point, I’ve worked with Medicaid Fee-For-Service. As Medicaid transitions to managed care organizations, I’ve made the decision not to panel with those organizations. This choice is rooted in my commitment to avoiding involvement with private health insurance companies and the ways those systems can limit care, clinical judgment, and access over time.

This wasn’t an easy decision. I’ve spent a lot of time sitting with it.

What isn’t changing is my commitment to the community. I will continue providing services to at-risk youth through my existing partnerships with agencies and organizations. That work matters deeply to me and will remain part of my professional life.

As my private practice evolves, my primary focus outside of my agency partnerships will be working with older teens, young adults and women who seek to address unresolved grief, past trauma, the aftermath of difficult relationships, or struggles with self-worth and identity.

I also want to share what I’m working toward:
• offering a limited number of sliding-scale spots
• gradually adding additional services that increase accessibility
• continuing to help people who reach out find the therapist who is the right fit for them—clinically and financially—even if that isn’t me

I believe therapy should be thoughtful, ethical, and human. This shift is part of my effort to stay aligned with those values while continuing to serve in ways that matter.

Thank you for being here and for trusting me with this work 🤍
