It's pronounced “Hoy-schlee”, but feel free to call me Jess (Jessica, Jessie) H.

Thank you for visiting, and for prioritizing your mental wellness.  

As a middle-aged mama with careers in science and writing prior to becoming an LCSW, I bring lived experience and an eclectic style to helping you improve your mental health.

I tend to work with adults (especially those in the second half of their lifespans) and motivated older teens, treating trauma, substance use, dual diagnoses, mood and anxiety disorders, life changes and stressors, perfectionism, ruminations/impulsivity, aging-related transitions, grief, and phobias.

I am credentialed in Accelerated Resolution Therapy, trauma-focused CBT, and animal-assisted therapy (no animals in-person at this time), and am trained in Gottman theory and Functional Family Therapy. I offer both structured work and general talk therapy that further taps into (inferential) CBT, mindfulness, nature therapy, and person-centered therapy, depending on your needs and preferences.  

I am comfortable treating clients with baseline suicidality and/or self-harm, am kink-positive, and welcome those from all walks of life.
