Client's often first come to see me when encountering struggles with depression, anxiety, and/or relationship problems. I have extensive experience helping children, adolescents, and adults; and am not afraid to get in the arena with you as we work through what is causing pain! It is my goal to come alongside you as we loosen the strongholds that keep you from experiencing seasons of wholehearted joy and peace once again!

Do you struggle with co-parenting and find it difficult to communicate with the other parent and worry about how it affects your child? Do you wish to support your “big feelings” child but find it hard not to have “big feelings” yourself? As an adult child, do you wish to build a better relationship with your parent but struggle on how to make yourself feel heard? I can help. I help parents communicate with their co-parent without getting caught up in a cycle and focus on what matters the most- your child. I help families listen and hear each other and instead of “blowing up”, build empathy and closeness instead.

Children face so many struggles and challenges today. Some may be experiencing social, emotional, and behavioral issues, while some may be experiencing a stressful life transition such as a move, adoption, or a loss. And yet some may be distressed without a known stressor. I provide a safe space for children to explore their struggles and identify attainable solutions.

Hi – I’m Jen. Are you looking to find help for yourself or your family? For answers, emotional balance, and peace of mind? Often the thought of reaching out is scary. Talking to a stranger about your personal life intimidating. But asking for help can be the bravest first step in creating a better life for you and your loved ones. We are all human, and needing help is normal and necessary at times. I’ve been in therapy myself and looking back, I see how necessary it's been for my emotional and personal development. And, I continue to reach out when my life gets overwhelming. So I encourage you to take the next step here to get help.

What is your story? Listening to people’s stories and being a part of their unique journey has always been my passion. The ability to share personal information is not always easy and being open to guidance may not always be natural. I strive to create a supportive environment in which this process becomes more comfortable. My professional experience is centered around working with individuals, children, adolescents and their families.
