About

Compassionate | Authentic | Experienced

At Modern Wellness, therapy is rooted in real life, lived experience, and meaningful change. My work as a therapist is shaped not only by professional training, but by my own journey. I am in long-term recovery and a single mother, and both experiences deeply inform how I show up in the therapeutic space. They have taught me resilience, humility, accountability, and a deep respect for how complex and courageous change can be. I understand what it feels like to carry responsibility, to be stretched thin, and to keep showing up even when things feel overwhelming. As a clinician, my values are clear: safety, honesty, compassion, and growth. I believe therapy should be supportive and validating, while also being intentional and forward-moving. I work to create a space where clients feel seen and understood, and where we can gently but honestly examine patterns that may be keeping them stuck. I will meet you where you are, and I will also help you move toward where you want to be. With experience across community mental health systems, trauma-impacted systems, housing instability, and complex family dynamics, I bring both empathy and structure to my work. I am often a good fit for individuals who are navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, recovery, or the long-term effects of stress and trauma, especially those who are ready for therapy that feels real, grounded, and relational. If you are looking for a therapist who is warm, direct, and deeply invested in your growth, you are welcome here. I work best with clients who are ready to engage thoughtfully in the process and who want support that is both compassionate and meaningful.

Testimonials

““I came to Modern Wellness feeling overwhelmed and stuck. From the very first session, I felt seen and supported. Therapy gave me the confidence to grow and tools I still use daily. I’m truly grateful for the care I received.” ”

— Muskego Mom, Age 34

““I spent years putting everyone else 1st, not realizing how lost I was. Jess helped me untangle those patterns and finally see my own worth. I’ve learned to set boundaries, speak up, and take care of myself without guilt. It changed everything.””

- Marie from New Berlin, age 56

““I didn’t think therapy was for guys like me. But Jess met me where I was—with honesty, no judgment, and real tools. Facing my drinking was the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but now I’m more present—for myself, and for the people I care about.””

Jason, age 42; husband, father and coach
