"I’ve been working with Jas since 2021 and she has been an immeasurable blessing in my life. She’s a gifted and highly-skilled therapist; she is so well-attuned that, even when I struggle to express myself, I feel completely understood. Words can’t express how much I’ve been able to learn, heal, and discover about my Self in her studio. I’m grateful that she decided to become an art therapist and that I am fortunate enough to be one of her clients."

"I first met Jas through an outpatient eating disorder program in Chattanooga. She was part of the "interdisciplinary team" who was part of our recovery journey. Of all the ones who worked with us, she stood out among all of them in her demeanor and approach to our issues. So much so, that when I finished, I sought Jas out for one on one counseling. I am not artistic and was somewhat concerned about my being able to depict my emotions via art. However, when given the freedom to be myself and to think outside the box, I was able to reach deep inside and recognize how much I had kept locked in. I found the ability to more freely express myself via art than I ever could through words. Jas provided "exercises" that made me think through layers and layers of blocked memories and then express them on paper. In looking back over 24 years of intermittent counseling, I recognize that I accomplished more, not in just "finding myself", but even more importantly in being able to heal the childhood wounds through Jas's approach than through any other therapy/therapist. I am truly thankful to have crossed paths with Jas...she is so truly gifted in the art of healing the mind and soul....the psyche as a whole."

"Jas is a phenomenal therapist and overall amazing person. She helped me completely change the trajectory of my life and gave me to courage to take steps to improve myself that I never would have had without her. I highly recommend going to Jas if you are looking for therapy and want someone who will truly listen to you and help you."

"I met Jas many years ago in a workshop that we both attended, then years later, I reached out to her on a therapeutic basis. Jas is knowledgeable in many areas of culture, tradition, psychology, art and art therapy. She is a natural teacher who guides her students and clients with honesty, humor and compassion. It is through working with her that I first became familiar with the benefits of art therapy. I have since used this knowledge in my own work in conceptual photography. If you haven't experienced art therapy, it's hard to imagine the benefit and insight that it can provide. I have found it to be sooooo worth the investment for gaining personal insight/growth. Having a guide skilled in this modality is both beneficial and enjoyable. Jas is all that. Highly recommend."
