Chat with me

Hi, my name is Jill Godici. I am originally from Washington DC area. I have been in Oregon for over 25 years. I've always had a passion for working with kids and teens. I am a free spirit, love to travel, hike and a huge animal lover. I say huge literally because I am the proud dog mom of a St Bernard puppy! I also have another cute pup and a cat. I believe in our youth and love the expansive mindset that young people today are contributing to society. I believe in the resiliency of teens and with the right support, I believe each of us can live happy and fulfilling lives. My approach and style is warm and empathetic. I have seen teens start opening up and expressing themselves after a few sessions. I believe its brave to ask for help, it can be a huge step forward to living with a more joy and inner peace. Most recently I was a middle school counselor and experienced first had the system inequities and challenges.
