Jessica (Jess) is a compassionate and experienced Couples Therapist who supports partners feeling stuck in patterns of disconnection, conflict, or emotional distance. She understands that beneath anger, withdrawal, or repeated arguments lies a desire to feel close, understood, and secure. Jess believes that when couples feel safe enough to slow down and truly hear each other, meaningful change becomes possible.
She deeply respects the courage it takes to begin therapy, particularly when trust has been shaken or communication has broken down. Jess offers a steady, attuned presence where both partners are welcomed with care and without judgment, helping each person feel seen while guiding the couple toward greater emotional responsiveness and connection.
Jessica is a qualified counsellor in Mooloolaba and member of the Australian Counselling Association. She works primarily with couples, but also supports individuals, addressing relationship conflict, infidelity and betrayal, communication difficulties, emotional disconnection, mismatched desire, challenges with sex and intimacy, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, LGBTQI+ experiences, and struggles with self-compassion.
Her clinical approach integrates the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy, alongside somatic and nervous system-informed therapies. Jess attends to attachment patterns and stress responses, helping partners regulate their nervous systems and access the emotions beneath reactivity. She also incorporates expressive therapeutic processes for conversations about vulnerability, desire, shame, and longing, creating safety for deeper connection.
Above all, Jess believes most couples are not broken — they are caught in patterns that once made sense but no longer serve them. With empathy, structure, and thoughtful guidance, she helps partners repair ruptures, rebuild trust, and restore authentic emotional and physical intimacy. At the heart of her work is a simple truth: every couple has the innate capacity for love, connection, and erotic vitality, and with support, that capacity can be rediscovered and strengthened.
