Hey, I’m Jess.

Welcome to The Connection Lab.

My Approach

Tailored & Collaborative

I have a proven track record of success when working for couples who have experienced infidelity & emotional disconnection. I also have in-depth trauma training & certifications which have given me the fulfilling opportunity to help individuals struggling with symptoms of complex trauma such as severe anxiety & depression. 

Overall, I help clients dig beneath the surface of their day-to-day lives in order to build a deeper connection with themselves and others. My passion is in helping people ride the waves of emotion so that they can lead a more authentic life.

Over the past 20 years, the field of neuroscience has transformed what we know about human connection and our attachment to others.

My blog discusses recent research findings and how we can transform our lives just by understanding basic biology.
