Jessica is a passionate and down to earth Psychologist, Board Approved Supervisor, and mother of two. She began her career in psychology over 10 years ago, supporting children, parents, carers, and support staff within the foster care system. Jessica very quickly learnt the importance of investing early in parental wellbeing, parent-child attachment, and emotional attunement over the lifespan. This passion only grew as Jessica became a parent, and as she extended her practice beyond the foster care system, to providing therapy supports across the lifespan and across a range of settings.

Jessica is committed to her learning and growth. Beyond her education and training to become a Psychologist, Jessica has completed further training and development specific to supporting families in the perinatal period, including, though not limited to,

• 2-Year Advanced Clinical Training Program in Family Therapy

• Bringing Baby Home Facilitator Training, and

• Neuroprotective Developmental Care (NDC, or the Possums Programs) Masterclass in Unsettled Infant and Parental Mental Health.

• Planning for parenthood

Jessica’s perinatal and infant psychology supports are trauma informed and neurodiverse affirming, grounded in current understandings from attachment theory and neuroscience. Jessica believes in your innate capacity to cope and flourish no matter your circumstance. She truly believes that it takes a village to raise a child and would love to form a part of your village for as long or as little as you and your family might need.
