Jessica's Journey
Reminiscent of most journeys, my path to psychological practice was far from linear. While my fascination with human behaviour and emotion emerged at a tender age, it was the gifts of wanderlust that truly ignited my sense of wonder about the human experience. Traveling extensively to nearly 30 countries, cycling three developing nations and exploring regions untouched by Western culture, I was exposed to the rich diversity of humanity and its myriad experiences. In the most barren villages of India and the jungle regions of Asia, my yearning for a deeper understanding of psychological science was truly inspired.
Transitioning into academia in my early thirties, I dedicated close to a decade to honing my craft. Aligned with the principles of humanistic theory, I hold a deep reverence for the individuality of each person and approach my practice with a person-centered philosophy. Central to my approach is the belief that clients are the experts of their own lives and internal experience, and I that my role is to hold space - to sit in the mud with you - and support the navigation and nourishment of your internal environment.
