Jessica: Experienced Social Worker

We are so excited to welcome Jessica to the team! Jessica is an empathetic and experienced Registered Social Worker with over 17 years in the field. She offers compassionate, evidence-based support for individuals navigating a wide range of mental health and life challenges, including addiction and recovery, depression, anxiety, chronic mental illnesses (such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and BPD), relationship concerns, low self-worth, and motivation difficulties. Jessica’s most specialized area of practice is substance addiction and recovery. She partners with clients to create individualized plans that go beyond abstinence, recognizing the deep grief and disruption that often accompany addiction. She understands substance use disorders as chronic, relapsing conditions that require flexible, stigma-free care. For Jessica, success isn’t just about “days clean”—it’s about helping clients reclaim their lives, restore relationships, and define recovery on their own terms. This philosophy also shapes her work with those living with chronic mental health challenges. She believes therapy should be collaborative, responsive, and nonjudgmental. Whether clients need advocacy, guidance, or space to process, Jessica is committed to walking alongside them as they build confidence, self-efficacy, and a deeper connection to their story. Jessica holds a BA in Psychology with a minor in Creative Writing and completed her Master of Social Work during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. She has continued her training with certifications in Cognitive Processing Therapy, Trauma-Informed Practice, DBT, and ADHD clinical practice. We’re so thrilled to welcome Jessica to the VOX team!
