About

Hi, I'm Jess! ​

 

I’m a Licensed Marriage And Family Therapist and founder of Holistic Lotus Psychotherapy. If you are seeking support, I hope my webpage is helpful to you in your decision if I may be a good therapist for you .

 

I am licensed to practice in California (LMFT #156991). This means I only serve clients who reside within the state of CA.

 

I work with people who have experienced trauma and my goal is to help people heal by collaborating together to find goals and help integrate all parts of them into wholeness. Holism is an idea that doesn’t see any “bad” parts of ourselves, but rather as information. I truly believe that even parts of ourselves that we do not like can teach us a lot about how to heal by leaning in to how they came to be.

 

A lot of people come to me not sure how they are feeling, not sure what next steps would be in their lives, or just wanting to focus on stability. I am honored to be considered in holding this space for you to help you find the best version of yourself.

 

My own experiences have built a bridge that led to my work in this field, and as a person I relate to many of my clients as a fellow equal imperfect human being. 

 

I hold a Masters in Integral Counseling Psychology from California Institute of Integral Studies and have worked directly with trauma survivors since 2020. I am trained in EMDR and have done several specialized trainings in working with dissociation and addiction. I am currently working toward certification in EMDR through EMDRIA.

 

Therapy is your time. Sometimes people have feelings about reaching out for help not because of finances or resistance of opening up, but because it can feel strange to give something so sacred to themselves such as their own space focused on their own story and their own process. I encourage clients to value themselves deserving of such prospects.
