Becoming a parent is often unexpectedly difficult.

If you or your partner delivered a baby preterm and are struggling with the scary challenges and emotions of a NICU parent, I have been there too, delivering my first child at 25 weeks, and my second at 35 weeks, I can help you understand the unique emotional challenges and hurdles that come with an early birth and I can help guide you through it.

My practice is devoted to helping women feel more empowered and at ease in their lives. My style in therapy is to encourage the exploration of identified problems from a compassionate and non-judgmental perspective with a solutions-focused orientation. Collaboration is central to my work, including working together to define goals and carefully monitor progress throughout the course of treatment. I work with women to address: mood disturbance, relationship issues, improving work/life balance, substance use/dependence disorders, and perinatal/parenting issues.

You're a millenial woman who tries to keep it all together on the outside, but on the inside you feel like a complete jumbled mess. You feel like anxiety, insecurity, and fear can jump into the driver's seat and take over at any moment. You can't imagine a time when you don't feel like you're faking it until you make it. But, some part of you knows that there can be another way.

It can be intimidating to take the initial steps toward overcoming obstacles in life. Thankfully, you don't have to travel alone on this adventure. I'm Jennifer Hutley a licensed clinician who has a strong interest in mental and emotional health. After more than a decade of committed work, I've established myself as a reliable resource for helping people on their path to better mental health, dealing with obstacles in their relationships, and handling substance abuse related matters.

Life can be joyful and fulfilling, while it also brings stress, pain, and disappointment. Often life experiences can leave us feeling overwhelmed to the point that we find ourselves simply surviving rather than thriving. Loss, trauma, discrimination, relationship troubles, or simply adjusting to change can contribute to anxiety, depression, and ineffective patterns of thinking and behaving. As a therapist, my goal is to provide a safe and supportive space in which to better understand your thinking patterns, feelings, and behaviors in a way that empowers you to effect positive changes in all areas of your life.

Would you like to work toward meaningful change? Would you like to understand what's getting in the way of having fulfilling experiences? I offer a comfortable environment where you can get to know yourself better and find ways to understand how to get what you want.
