About Jessamyn

Jessamyn founded Budd Bay Counseling after nine years at a university counseling center, where she saw how often anxiety hides behind high achievement. She works with adults and teens from 16 who live with OCD, panic, health anxiety and the exhausting kind of perfectionism.

Her sessions are structured but warm: you agree each step before you take it, and practice between sessions is planned together so it fits real life. As clinical director she also supervises our associate therapist.

Anxiety is very good at making life smaller. My job is to help you take back the parts of it you miss, one manageable step at a time.
Jessamyn, in her own words
