Hello, I’m Jeni and I help women through the trauma of deceptive sexuality and infidelity. The psychological chaos of deceptive sexuality creates a tsunami of traumatic stress. This stress threatens everything you know. You may be experiencing Reality-Ego Fragmentation, high anxiety, fear & numbness, an Attachment Rupture, health issues, dissociation, hypervigilance & other signs and symptoms of Complex Trauma. You need the support and care of someone who understands this psychology. I've studied deceptive sexuality, intimacy, sexual health, abuse, and the impact of psychological trauma in our East Valley community since 2010.

As a psychotherapist at Family Strategies, my practice is rooted in the science of counseling, as is my advanced degree. I aid in PTSD and trauma recovery stemming from many sources such as sexual abuse, religious shame, OCD, ADHD, relational- psychological abuse, and anxiety and depression. Some of the modalities in which I am trained integrate neuroscience such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and Accelerated Resolution Therapy. Trauma can change brain chemistry sending us into a perpetual fight, flight, freeze or fawn mode. To heal we must rewire the brain. I'm thrilled to implement these skills and many more.
