Telehealth, and outpatient. She utilizes many different therapeutic frameworks such as CBT and
Psychodynamic Therapy, but mostly enjoys Person-Centered Therapy and allowing the client to
drive the direction of their sessions and overall therapeutic growth.

Jada is very passionate about her work, destigmatizing mental health, and people she

can help make smile. She feels that if she has impacted just one person, this is enough to make a
difference in the world. Having a student-athlete background, Jada understands what it means to
work collaboratively with a team to reach a desired goal. She believes everyone has a story and
strives to be someone who can help individuals formulate that story and live life as their best selves.
She is open, and honest, and can make anyone laugh. When she is not working, she enjoys bookstores,
and museums, listening to music, attending church, working out, learning, and spending time with her
family.
