Hi, I'm Jessica.
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate and the founder of Nido de Luz Counseling.
When I started this practice, I had one specific heart in mind: moms. As a mom myself, I know firsthand what it is like to navigate the delicate spaces of motherhood. I have walked through the deep waters of perinatal anxiety following a loss, experienced grief, and faced the overwhelming challenges of the postpartum period while trying to adapt to life's constantly changing seasons.
After noticing a profound lack of community presence and specialized support for mothers, I knew I wanted to create a safe, dedicated space just for women. You don’t have to carry the weight alone—I'm here to walk alongside you.
What to Expect in Our Sessions
My approach combines person-centered and solution-focused therapy. But what that actually means for our sessions is simple: come as you are.
I offer you deep empathy, genuine compassion, and an authentic investment in your well-being so you can become the best version of yourself.
Many mothers carry silent shame over thoughts they feel they "shouldn't" have. Like "I would rather go work out than play with my child right now" or "pumping and breastfeeding are exhausting, I just want to switch to formula”. We will explore the emotions behind these thoughts without an ounce of judgment.
Every mom has these exact thoughts. Together, we will normalize them and gently shift them away from shame and guilt, turning them into empowering strengths:
"If I work out and give myself some time, I will have the energy to be a better mom."
"If I use formula, my baby is still fed, and I will have the capacity to be more present."
Are you also feeling overwhelmed and anxious, wondering if it ever gets better?
Together, we will develop practical coping skills for those hard days. I love to incorporate mindfulness techniques, like grounding and breathing exercises, to help you take back control and regulate your mind and body when anxiety hits.
Let's work together so you can feel confident, healthy, and ready to conquer these tough seasons of life.
A special heart for women in changing seasons
Mothers are famously selfless, compassionate, and resilient. Yet all too often, they are left with no space of their own to take off their cape and simply be.
This is exactly why my heart is dedicated to supporting women through life’s most tender, complex transitions.
Pregnancy, the transition into motherhood, the vulnerability of postpartum, and the profound grief of pregnancy loss are incredibly difficult to talk about. So often, moms carry these heavy burdens silently, adding weight to their shoulders day after day, until it becomes too much to bear alone.
At Nido de Luz Counseling, you never have to pretend that everything is okay.
I designed this therapy space to be a true sanctuary—a place where your raw experiences can be spoken aloud, and where there is plenty of room for grief, uncertainty, hope, healing, and everything in between
Let's take the next step together.
You don't have to know exactly what you want to say or where to begin.
