Hi, I'm Jessi!

Girl walking through golden field

I’m on a mission to help others feel valid, heard, and appreciated in their mental health struggles and find a path to healing that’s right for them. I’ve been featured in over 200 media outlets, including Refinery29, Thrive Global, and Elite Daily, and have spoken to thousands of people across the country at places like Leadercast NOW, the Institute on Violence, Abuse, and Trauma’s International Summit, and Penn State University. Outside of my professional life, I love exploring the trails of the Pacific Northwest and hanging out with Phoebe (a First Responder Therapy Dog) and Maggie (a rescue cat).

I also like to talk. A lot.

My first time in front of a microphone was when I was thirteen. I was so dang nervous that I convinced my friend to give the speech with me. We alternated lines. It was bad. I’m proud to say that my public speaking skills have since improved, and I’ve had the opportunity to present to groups around the world on the topics of mental health and suicide prevention. I’m currently taking bookings for 2024, and I’d love to add your campus, conference, or corporation to the schedule!

And write. I do that, too.
