Jess has been connecting the Kansas City-area community to treatment resources for almost a decade. She has a passion for helping individuals and families suffering from substance use disorder, alcohol use disorder, and co-occurring mental health disorders. Colleagues know Jess as a resourceful, relationship-centered partner offering her expertise knowledge from referral connections to continuing education.

“Going to Arista Recovery was the best decision I’ve ever made. The counselors helped me grow in my recovery journey, from someone who was shy and uncomfortable sharing my feelings to a leader in meetings who now understands the reasons for my struggles and how to move past them.”

“Arista’s newest location is a true pillar of the Paola community. The workers care deeply about their patients and are providing so many people with new beginnings. It's amazing to see the progress in people’s recovery journeys.

“A few people in my AA group went to Arista Recovery and they only had nice things to say about it. When I went through a short relapse I followed their advice and went there to get my head straight, and I’m so glad I did. Getting help at Arista is what stopped my mistake from defining my life again.
