Hi, I’m Jess.
I’m the founder of StorySeekers, a business created to support parents, therapists, and teachers as they help kids tell their own stories with confidence and creativity.
I’m a clinical mental health professional with over 10 years of experience working with children and teens. My work has centered on helping young people build a sense of safety, self-awareness, emotional regulation, and resilience—especially in the context of trauma.
Before all of that, I was a shy kid navigating OCD and a trauma history who felt disconnected from my creative side. I had to be perfect. I had to do it “just right”, just like everything else in my life. If I couldn’t do it the best, I didn’t do it at all. Every time I stopped, it reinforced the idea that I couldn’t do it, which made it even harder to try again.
Over time, through therapy, the right support, and treatment that made my symptoms manageable, something shifted.
I started giving myself permission to create without needing it to be perfect. And when I did, I remember thinking, “This is my favorite version of me.” For the first time, I felt fully like myself.
That experience is at the heart of everything I create, and I hope it finds you as well.
I’m so glad you’re here.
