My name is Jelisa and I cannot wait to join you on your journey. I enjoy working with clients across many axes of difference, however I specialize in working with the following populations:

  • Clients experiencing identity transitions, such as (but not limited to) emerging/young adults

  • Undergraduate students, graduate students, and higher education professionals

  • Clients belonging to marginalized communities such as (but not limited to) the BIPOC community, the LGBTQIA+ community, and polyamorous/non-monogamous community community

  • Clients who identify as gifted, highly sensitive, and/or neurodivergent
