As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Jada brings both clinical expertise and a deep commitment to person-centered care. She has had the privilege of supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds, including members of LGBTQIA+ identities, those experiencing major life transitions and individuals coping with grief and loss.

Her clinical experience includes helping clients navigate career changes, relationships challenges, and the impact of trauma related to community and intimate partner violence. Jada also has specialized training in perinatal mental health, supporting individuals and families through the transitions of parenthood, as well as addressing the unique emotional experiences of infertility and infant loss. These experiences have affirmed for Jada that no two healing journeys are alike. She integrates evidence-based practices with a deep respect for each client’s personal story, always tailoring treatment to their unique needs.

In therapy, clients can expect a warm and collaborative space where they feel safe to express themselves, explore experiences, and practice new strategies. Jada values openness and authenticity, and balances support with accountability. If you set goals together and struggle to follow through, Jada doesn’t hesitate to help you gently confront setbacks while also normalizing that lapses are a part of the growth process. Her approach is compassionate yet direct, helping you build both self-awareness and sustainable change.

more about me

Beyond her clinical work, Jada is passionate about community healing and advocacy. She has had the honor of providing trauma-informed care in hospital, community and nonprofit settings, supporting individuals and families impacted by violence, systemic barriers and loss.

Outside of therapy, one of her greatest joys is dance, Jada has been dancing since childhood and found it to be a powerful form of self-expression, especially as a shy child. She enjoys many styles, but hip hop is her favorite. For Jada, movement is not only art but a form of self-care and grounding. She also loves traveling, exploring new cultures, and embracing experiences that expand her perspective and bring inspiration back into both her personal and professional life.
