Who’s Narrating Your Story?
Welcome to Jackalope Counseling, where who you are and who you want to be matters. I work with people to craft new stories, ones that allow them the freedom to live life according to their terms.
What I Do
I provide therapy to adults across the lifespan who are experiencing adjustment difficulties, anxiety, depression, or are struggling in the aftermath of a traumatic experience. I have specialized training and experience working with veterans, first responders, women, and older adults. I believe in equitable access to health care, and therefore accept most major insurances, including Medicaid and Tricare.
Who I am
Hello! Thank you for visiting my website. I'm Jess, a clinically trained social worker and therapist. My therapeutic approach centers on the dominant stories in your life—those that cause distress and those that provide support and strength. Many clients I work with experience a dissonance between societal norms that tell them what their lives should look like, and their personal beliefs/lived experiences. I believe our identities are constantly evolving, and we therefore have the power to reshape our perspectives on the past and envision new possibilities for the future. With all my heart, I believe that anyone can feel better, overcome trauma, and live a happy, fulfilling life grounded in the present. If any of this resonates with you, please contact me to schedule a free 20-minute consultation!
“People don’t usually make up their life narratives from scratch. We are all born into stories, and those stories shape our perceptions of what is possible; but we don’t usually think of the stories we are born into as stories. We think of them as “reality.”
— Jill Freedman and Gene Combs
