I believe that balance is the key to life. When one area of your life or family is out of balance, it impacts other areas of your life and family. Therapy can help restore the balance in your life. Therapy provides an avenue for change and personal growth.

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.

First things first, I appreciate that you were willing to give me a chance by looking at my biography. I know that therapy can be hard to explore and even harder to commit to but I’ll be here to support you through your journey. Life can be challenging and there is often this pressure that we need to have everything figured out and that we are not allowed to struggle. But that struggle can show us how resilient we really can be.

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.

It can be so frustrating when your child is experiencing emotional and behavioral issues. It can often feel like you have tried everything and nothing has worked. I have extensive training and experience with Play Therapy and Family Therapy. This expertise has allowed me to be an integral part of the healing that occurs when both the family and child are given the opportunity to work together on problems in a safe, non-judgmental, and empowering environment.
