Right now, you may be feeling overwhelmed, stressed and unfulfilled. Maybe you're plagued by anxiety or weighed down by depression. Perhaps you’re struggling to start a family or are finding that being a parent is harder that you expected. Or you might feel stuck because the things and people you thought would or should make you happy just aren't. Change and growth are possible, and I would love to guide you on your journey.

Welcome to a new beginning. Asking for help is both difficult and empowering after you've lost the belief that things can change. The fact that you are reading this means you are ready to take the first step to make some changes in your life. I strive to empower individuals who have lost their way due to the challenges and obstacles created by addiction. Addiction doesn't happen on it's own. There are many layers and at times things become complicated or unclear. We will work together to uncover the false beliefs, support new practices, and begin a new way of life. It all begins now, as you take the first step.

Distressed about your relationship? Feeling anxious or overwhelmed? Hopeless or broken? Is it psychosis or spiritual? You are welcome to come as you are with your full range of feelings. We can work to uncover what is at the core and driving your distress with a goal of personal transformation or identify other goals of your choosing. I have a special interest in exploring and integrating the lasting impact of spiritual, kundalini, entheogen/psychedelic, and other extreme experiences that are frequently misdiagnosed as mental illness.

I work with clients who struggle with addiction, depression, anxiety, past life events and trauma that prevent them from accepting themselves and fully embracing joy in their lives. Each person must confront their own challenges but don't always have the tools needed to reach their life goals. A trusted professional can be a helpful partner in walking this path with you until you have the skills/insights needed to continue your journey confidently. I offer a safe and respectful place to look at yourself, your situation, consider alternatives and practice new skills with my support to help reach your goals.

As a Human Development Educator, inasmuch as all problems require solutions, I assist clients to develop timely approaches to conflict-resolution; based on comprehensive principles for learning to master critical struggles. In my consultations I will reliably reflect outstanding understanding, for analyzing the dynamics of conflict-resolution; particularly addressing how psychology positively or negatively affects individual and family identities, attitudes, beliefs, choices, and behaviors; regarding personal and interactive outcomes.

The emphasis of my practice begins at a foundational level. Approaching our bodies as a container of resources gifted to us at conception. My care for clients is specifically focused on the somatic listening and attunement with self and the natural world. I use mindfulness, trauma informed touch, and Neuro-Sensory-Motor Reflex Integration methods (MNRI). The clients who walk through my door are not looking to be "fixed" with more "go...go...go” but rather to "connect" to a slower, and softer sense of self. I want you to look forward to “Jenna days” as a series of exhaling release valves.
