A Gentle Space for Healing & Self-Connection

Life can feel overwhelming—stress, loss, and past experiences often leave us disconnected from ourselves. At Embodied Connections, therapy isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about helping your nervous system rediscover safety, presence, and resilience.

Meet Jessica

Hi, I’m Jessica, Licensed Clinical Social Worker and founder of Embodied Connections.

My passion is guiding people back to themselves—helping them move beyond survival mode and into a place where life feels more manageable, more connected, and more meaningful.

My Approach

  • Somatic & Trauma-Informed Therapy – Healing through the body, not just the mind

  • Nervous System Awareness – Understanding how fight, flight, and freeze show up in your life

  • Gentle, Client-Centered Work – We move at your pace, with compassion and safety

  • Grounded in Research – Inspired by the work of experts like Deb Dana and Peter Levine

I’m also deeply committed to supporting the Latino community, especially individuals and families impacted by deportation. Through education and somatic practices, I help bridge the gap between cultural realities and emotional well-being.

What Makes Embodied Connections Different

Therapy that’s body-aware and science-backed
A space where you’re not just listened to—you’re deeply seen
Inclusive and culturally sensitive care
Tools that help you regulate and carry healing beyond the therapy room

This is not about quick fixes. It’s about helping you build a foundation of safety and connection that lasts.

Free Resources

Healing is for everyone. As part of my commitment to supporting the Latino community—especially those impacted by deportation—I’ve created free somatic tools to help you and your loved ones find moments of calm and connection.
