Jessica (she/her) is an associate clinical director and licensed psychologist working at Affirmations Psychological Services.

Jessica relies on evidence-based treatments such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Systemic Family Therapy. Jessica also incorporates mindfulness-based techniques in treatment and recognizes the importance of choosing a therapeutic approach that fits best for each individual client’s needs, strengths, and goals.
