From an early age, Jessi had known she wanted to work with children. She enjoyed their curiosity, resiliency, and playfulness. Considering that everyone comes from different backgrounds and has different experiences, she wanted to provide a safe space for children to process, explore and develop their strengths. She believes every person deserves respect and dignity, and is a huge proponent for supporting self-advocacy skills.

After graduating with her Master of Arts in counseling from Pacific University, Jessi decided to continue her education in behavior analysis through Arizona State University. She is both a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Oregon and a licensed behavior analyst (LBA) in Oregon and Washington. After spending the last 10+ years practicing as a board certified behavior analyst (BCBA), she was being called back to the counseling field.

Jessi specializes in working with autistic individuals, anxiety, and ADHD. During therapy, she employs an eclectic approach which includes child-led play, CBT, strengths based, collaborative problem solving, and behavior analysis. She has experience providing individual and group therapy within clinical, home, school, and community settings to neurodiverse children between the ages of 18 months through elementary ages, and has worked with neurodiverse teenagers. She greatly enjoys including family members and caregivers in therapy and uses a holistic approach to care.
