Meet Jesca

I’m Jesca, a Licensed Associate Counselor and Certified Trauma Professional. With specialized training in EMDR, I serve adults and adolescents who are looking to process through trauma, grief, depression, and anxiety. My passion is supporting people while tending to woundedness, and walking alongside them as a gentle guide. Through my own journey of healing from various types of trauma, I have found purpose in assisting others live a life of greater flourishing. My approach is collaborative, drawing upon your strengths to help meet your goals. Within this safe and nonjudgmental space, transformational healing can occur. Let’s begin today on your path towards hope.

My Approach

I have experienced a trajectory from a helping profession, to a creative one, to finally one that combines experiences of both, creates purpose, and fits just right. I graduated from Ottawa University with a master’s in professional counseling. My approach to therapy is an eclectic holistic style, drawing from somatic based practices such as EMDR and parts work, dialectical behavioral therapy, attachment styles, and expressive arts. With a trauma-informed lens, I see the individual not as damaged, but rather as one with strengths and survival skills that have allowed them to reach this point. I also acknowledge that humans learn by observing and practicing what is modeled, and oftentimes clients may need further resources to recognize alternatives in order to experience a fuller life of thriving.

I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with advanced training in Dissociation and Parts with EMDR. I am a Certified Trauma Professional and have completed Advanced Grief Counseling Certification. My master’s level internship was spent primarily with teens struggling with depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation and self-harm in an outpatient therapeutic setting.

My personal story includes growing up quickly in a family with addiction issues, complex trauma compounded by grief and loss. My life experience and training combined with compassion and understanding have specifically equipped me to offer connection and assist others on their journey towards hope and healing.
