About Jessica

People come to me with anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, family conflict, and life transitions. I also have experience with executive functioning difficulties, learning challenges, and behavioral problems.

I also see young adults, and people who identify as gay, lesbian, or non-binary.

I also hold an M.A. in Clinical Psychology from Widener University and a B.A. in Psychology from Cornell University.

My approach to therapeutic work is collaborative, developmentally-informed, and research-based. I incorporate cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and family systems theory. My practicum placements were with the Wallingford-Swarthmore School District, Dragonfly Psychological Associates, and Delaware Psychiatric Center.

How Jessica works

With chronic illness, and especially Type 1 diabetes, I support clients with the mental health side of managing the condition. My interests also include school consultation, health psychology, and psychoeducational assessment, alongside psychotherapy with children, adolescents, adults, and families.

Who do you work with best?

Sessions may be individual or with the family. My training focused on child, adolescent, and family therapy.
