Welcome here! I’m Jessica Hill (or just Jess is fine), a marriage and family therapist specializing in attachment. As an MMFT (Masters of Marriage and Family Therapy), all of my training is relational. This means that I see folks who choose to work with me through the greater lens of their relationships (both in the past and present). I have experience in treating relational trauma (like complex grief or historical abuse), working with blended families, and helping folks in all forms of adult relationships understand each other a little better.

The type of therapy I do is emotionally-focused, which means that I see emotions as a universal language that we can use to help us repair missing links in patterns of communication. This often looks like facilitating conversations between you and your loved ones in sessions which demonstrate new ways of connecting in real-time. With individuals, this therapy looks like identifying your unacknowledged feelings to open us up to new ways of thinking and moving through the world. While Emotionally Focused Therapy is my main modality, I also draw from CBT, DBT, IFS and Narrative interventions when they suit us.

I try my best to be accessible, authentic and warm. I hope to genuinely connect with you by remaining emotionally available throughout our sessions and by using words, examples and concepts informed by experiences you’ve shared with me, as opposed to my therapy textbooks. I hope our therapy sessions feel safe, comfortable and judgement-free. I look forward to being in your corner and getting to know you.
