Jessica is a mental health counselor practicing in our Cedar Rapids Office who works with clients facing a variety of struggles. She has clinical experience supporting adults through major life shifts and providing a safe space for those navigating faith-related struggles and religious wounds. Jessica believes that every individual is unique and deserves a treatment plan that fits their specific needs using cognitive processing therapy (CPT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and principles from internal family systems (IFS), somatic therapy, and narrative therapy.

Her practice is deeply trauma-informed, focusing on the specific occupational stressors, secondary trauma, and lifestyle challenges unique to first responders and veterans. She is passionate about providing evidence-based mental health support to improve both the professional longevity and personal quality of life for those who serve our communities. Jessica’s strength-based approach will tap into the adaptable mindset and natural resilience clients already possess to help them process trauma.
