Since I started my therapy with Jessica my standard of life has improved considerably and I am now able to love a more fulfilling life not limited by my anxiety. I have made great progress with my anxiety to such an extent that I am able to deal with stressful situations in a constructuve manner and take on more responsibility at work. I was not able to take a flight due to my phobia of being trapped, but through multiple sessions wuth Jessica I was able to take a flight with minimal anxiety.
(32 year old male, 20 sessions) -
Jessica is great! My son was much better after his sessions with her. It was the best decision I ever made to take my son to see Jessica.
(mother of 7 year old son, 8 sessions) -
Seeing Jessica made a huge difference in my life. I was struggling with depression and a lot of self-doubt. Jessica is very kind and makes you feel very comfortable in the sessions - I would definitely recommend her as a psychologist to anyone going through a difficult time. It meant a lot to have someone to talk to and our sessions really helped me to get a hold of my depression and anxiety.
(28 year old female, 10 sessions)

ABOUT jessica
I love psychology and am passionate about what I do. For me, psychology is about creating a safe and non-judgmental space for people to freely explore their struggles and triumphs.
We live in a world where we always have to show our ‘highlight reel’, where we always need to show that we are strong and capable. However, psychologists believe that our weaknesses and vulnerabilities are often the openings into the best and most beautiful parts of us.
