Are you looking for an unbiased opinion or outside perspective? Do you want a more fulfilling life but don’t know where to start? My name is Jen, and I help people work through the tough parts of life: difficult transitions, grief, anxiety, depression, and family-related stressors. If you're feeling alone and disconnected, I'll be here to give you the support you need while also helping you build outside supports. I have experience working with caregivers, foster parents, and those with renal-related health concerns. I know that all of these situations can be really challenging; let’s work to overcome that.

The contemporary definition of empathy is seeing with the eyes of another, listening with the ears of another, and feeling with the heart of another. This is the philosophical mantra of my sensitivity to other people's feelings, emotions, and desires. My genuine, empathetic relationship with clients and mutual trust are essential to successful therapy. I pride myself on being a compassionate listener to individuals who have faced life’s most profound challenges, suffered from mood disorders, experienced trauma, grief, abuse, or relational problems, and suffered multiple stresses, including those related to work and academia.

I have extensive experience working with clients who are dealing with adjustment disorders, depression, anxiety, disruptive behaviors, ADHD, anger management, bereavement and grief, separation and divorce, struggling with issues regarding life transitions, sexual orientation, job satisfaction, aging, and self-esteem.
It is natural to have moments in life when you feel depressed or anxious, and especially if you are in a certain stage of life which requires more support, or if life simply threw you a curve ball. Everyone needs to be able to set aside time for themselves, process through their experiences, and then work towards identifying what they need and how to get there. I provide a comfortable, safe, non-judgmental space in which to do that work, collaboratively and creatively. I want to empower you and to help you feel like, "I've got this. I can get through it." Because you can.
