About Jessie
Jessie has extensive training and experience in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the most effective form of treatment for OCD & complex anxiety. In addition to ERP, Jessie utilizes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help her clients recommit to values and create a meaningful life despite anxiety. Jessie also incorporates other evidenced-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).
Jessie received her Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from DePaul University and Bachelor’s degrees in Psychology and Public Health from Indiana University. She completed her Master’s level internship at Alexian Brothers Behavioral Health Hospital. Before pursing private practice, Jessie worked in the OCD & Anxiety PHP/IOP programs at Alexian Brothers Behavioral Health Hospital and Compass Health Center.
A Note From Jessie
The most rewarding part of my job is helping clients find their strength and resilience. OCD & anxiety can feel debilitating, but it doesn’t have to be that way. My goal as an exposure therapist is to help you get back to the life you want to be living. My personal therapy style can be described as authentic, solution-focused, and direct. ERP is not easy, so I am committed to creating the most collaborative and supportive environment possible.
In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, exercising, traveling, and spending time with friends, family, and the absolute light of my life: my golden retriever, Harper!
Jessie welcomes and serves clients for online therapy from anywhere in Illinois.
