ABOUT

​

Hi, I'm Jess, a multidisciplinary designer + artist from California. I currently reside in Los Angeles as a Marriage and Family Therapist Associate and aerial instructor. I bring a creative, integrative lens to therapy using the expressive arts such as art, movement, music, narrative, drama, and play to support mind-body connection, resilience, and authenticity. 

​

I received my BA in Communication Studies and completed The Segal Design Certificate from Northwestern University, where I developed my growing love for design innovation. Chasing that love, I started out my professional career in graphic design and illustration specializing in creating visual identities and digital content for a variety of brands across platforms. My passion for inspiring change through art lead me to arts education, teaching exploratory art classes and community workshops. My heart eventually led me to complete a Masters of Arts in Counseling Psychology with a concentration in Expressive Arts Therapy from the California Institute of Integral Studies.

You can find me experimenting with mixed media, flowing in the sky, and sunbathing with my two cats. My simple pleasures in life include groovy R&B songs, brand new ink pens, and fresh coffee -- my biggest pleasure...inspiring someone's life through art.​​​​​
