Hi, I’m Jessica

 I help adults and couples heal trauma, transform relationship patterns, and reconnect with the self they’ve been carrying underneath the survival strategies.

My approach

My mission is simple and sacred:

To help you embody your worth, awaken to your true self, and move from trauma → healing → growth → expansion.

I bring a blend of realness, intuition, clinical depth, and lived experience. I’m not a blank slate in the room—I’m human with you. I tell the truth. I reflect what I see. I help you reconnect with the parts of you that learned to shrink, protect, perform, or disappear in order to survive.

This work isn’t about making you “better.”

It’s about helping you become more you.

i’m glad you’re here

If you’re here, you’re probably tired of holding it all together on the outside while something feels off on the inside.

Maybe you’re a high achiever who feels anxious, numb, or burnt out. Maybe you keep finding yourself in the same relationship patterns – chasing, shutting down, or pretending you’re fine when you’re not. Or maybe you’re in a relationship that feels stuck in painful cycles and you don’t know how much longer you can keep going like this.

Together, we’ll work with your body, nervous system, and story to help you move from trauma and survival patterns into healing, secure self-attachment, and a life that feels more like you.

you may be navigating…

For individuals:

  • Childhood emotional neglect or complex trauma

  • Insecure attachment patterns (anxious, avoidant, disorganized)

  • Burnout, anxiety, overthinking, perfectionism

  • Emotional overwhelm or shutdown

  • Major Life Transitions

  • Nervous system dysregulation

  • Self-worth wounds and identity confusion

  • Relationship patterns that feel stuck or painful

In our work together, we’ll focus on rebuilding safety inside your body, healing the attachment patterns that shaped your relationships, and reconnecting you to your intuition and self-worth.

For couples:

If you and your partner keep running into the same cycle—argument → shutdown → distance—you’re not alone. Couples rarely struggle because they don’t love each other. They struggle because their attachment wounds collide.

I help couples:

  • Repair disconnection and rebuild trust

  • Understand their attachment cycles

  • Heal conflict patterns at the root

  • Recover from betrayal or emotional injuries

  • Strengthen communication and emotional intimacy

  • Create relationships that feel safe, honest, and alive

 Whether you’re in crisis or simply craving deeper connection, couples therapy can shift the emotional landscape between you.

My approach blends:

  • Somatic & polyvagal work

  • Attachment & developmental trauma therapy

  • IFS/parts work

  • Cognitive Behavior Therapy/Schemas

  • EMDR-informed resourcing and processing

  • EFT & Gottman-informed couples work

  • Nervous system regulation + body-based healing

  • Reflective, intuitive, grounded presence

You don’t have to continue carrying everything alone.

    Jessica is the best! If you're looking for a trauma-informed, compassionate therapist in North County San Diego for anxiety, life transitions, relationship stress, or divorce-related support, Jessica brings a rare level of care and emotional intelligence to her work. Jessica has been a steady, grounding presence for me during some of the most emotionally difficult times in my life, including a very painful divorce and custody battle that brought up a lot of anxiety and emotional overwhelm. The support, comfort, and insights she offered made a real impact on me. She has a calm, compassionate, and deeply thoughtful way of helping people feel seen while also offering honest perspective. Her physical office is in Vista and it's very clean and comfortable. Her website says she serves clients from Encinitas, Carlsbad, Oceanside, and San Marcos as well as online. I highly recommend Ethos Relational Therapy!
