Rooted in Grief, Growth & Becoming
Radiance Counseling was born from the understanding that the most transformative seasons of a life (motherhood, loss, identity shifts, grief) deserve a space that is both honest and deeply tender.
Meet Jessica
I became a therapist because I know what it is to be undone by life — and to have to slowly, carefully, find a new way of inhabiting yourself. My own path through infertility, birth, postpartum depression, and the identity-shifting weight of early motherhood taught me that grief and transformation are not separate experiences. They are the same river.
Healing, in my experience, is rarely about returning to who you were before. It is about being witnessed in the in-between — honored in the place of not-yet-knowing — and supported as you slowly, tenderly, become someone new. That is what I am here for.
My work is grounded in perinatal mental health, trauma-informed care, EMDR, and somatic and nature-based approaches. I draw from attachment theory, polyvagal science, and the wisdom of the body. But more than any modality, I bring deep presence — a willingness to sit with what is hard, to slow down, and to hold space for both grief and grace at once.
"I hold space for the full spectrum: the grief and the gratitude, the fear and the fierce love, the loss and the quiet becoming. You deserve support that sees all of you."

How We Hold Space
Wholeness
We see you as a whole person — mind, body, history, and spirit. Grief lives in the body. So does joy. Our work honors every dimension of your experience, including the parts that don't have words yet.
Witnessing
We believe in the profound power of being truly seen. Not fixed. Not advised. Witnessed. Transformation unfolds naturally when someone sits with you in the dark without rushing you toward the light.
Courage
It takes enormous bravery to ask for help. We honor that courage with compassion, honesty, and openness.
You Don't Have to Navigate This Alone
Whatever threshold you are standing at, whatever you are grieving, becoming, or trying to understand, there is space for you here.
