Psychotherapist
I am a licensed clinical social worker with specialized training in psychodynamic psychotherapy, trauma, and reproductive mental health. I have extensive experience helping patients who are dealing with infertility, pregnancy loss, perinatal mood disorders, surrogacy, and egg donor pregnancies.
I am a Ph.D candidate in clinical psychotherapy conducting research on the psychological experience of recurrent pregnancy loss.
Having worked in private practice, high risk clinics, and inpatient hospital units for nearly 15 years, my experience is extensive, diverse, and contemporary across many ages, backgrounds, and needs.

I believe the most important element of effective psychotherapy is the genuine connection between the patient and therapist. My approach to therapy is interactive, supportive, and empathic. I see psychotherapy as a creative process and my patients as co-partners in this process of exploration and discovery.
Together, we will work in an atmosphere of acceptance and safety with the ultimate goal of greater self-awareness, freedom from negative intrusive thoughts/self-criticism, emotional comfort, and relationship satisfaction. Therapy is a personal journey we will travel together bringing us both challenges and great rewards.
Explore our resources below for valuable insights and practical advice on navigating psychological challenges, with a focus on trauma, pregnancy loss, and emotional well-being.
Jessica provides comprehensive, intentional therapy that is uniquely designed to fit your individual needs. There is ongoing assessment and check-ins about how the treatment process is going and what changes need to be made in order to continue moving forward. In addition to working with general mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, relationships and life changes, Jessica also has advanced training in working with women’s health and mental health issues (infertility, pregnancy loss, and postpartum mood disorders.)
My current fee is $175 for a 45-minute individual session and $250 for couples and family therapy.
I do not accept insurance and am not in-network with any insurance carriers. If you would like to pursue reimbursement for services from your insurance company I will provide you with an invoice called a superbill that you can submit. I can help you contact your insurance company in advance to learn more about out-of-network coverage and reimbursement. The following guide can help you better understand your out-of-network coverage: Click Here
I offer in-person services in La Canada Flintridge, CA which is 10-15 minutes from Pasadena, Glendale, Eagle Rock, Silverlake, and Los Feliz.

I have significant experience providing services, including EMDR therapy, via telehealth.
We require 24-hour advance notice of cancellation, or you will be charged the full fee for the session. If you are routinely cancelling sessions (even with 24-hour advanced notice) then we will discuss in session if this treatment is the right fit for you.
