Hi, I’m JESSICA.
Born and raised in Dallas Texas, I am a wife and mother of three. Since high school, I’ve always dreamed of helping people and understanding human emotions and behaviors. I took a step toward that dream by majoring in Psychology while attending the University of North Texas. Soon after graduation, I pursued a Masters in Social Work. After working within social services, I continued along my journey and ultimately obtained my Clinical License. Throughout my journey, I worked with many populations in many different settings. All with one mission in mind, to help others along their journey to healing.
I achieved my high school dream, when I opened the doors to my private practice, Doors of Hope.
My mission
Where there’s hope, there’s healing
The mission of Doors of Hope is to facilitate positive change in the lives of those who are seeking better emotional and social functioning and the overall quality of their lives.
My Approach
I approach the therapeutic relationship with sensitivity and respect for all experiences. I strive to treat the therapeutic relationship and you with compassion, respect, and warmth. I believe that we are all products of our close relationships, our environment, and our family systems. Both past and present. Taking time to better understand your history helps me understand factors at multiple levels that may be contributing to your struggles.
Therapeutic Approach
My therapy style is drawn from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered approaches. I want to meet you where you are. I will always have your individual needs in mind as I implement a therapeutic approach and as we collaborate on treatment goals.
Build it
The therapeutic relationship plays an important part in the success and progress of any given treatment. Weak therapeutic relationships will often lead to cessation of therapy, due to unmet or unclear goals, and lack of communication. The therapeutic relationship is extremely important to me. By creating a safe space, filled with compassion and understanding, I strive to build a healthy supportive relationship between me and all my clients.
