My name is Jenna and I work with adults and teenagers to help them grow in whatever direction they feel is most genuine for them. Whether in work, school, relationships, or our own personal worlds, we often fall into patterns of being that serve a purpose, but may not feel fulfilling. We might cast aside our true feelings, values, and identities to protect ourselves from pain or judgment, which can cause us to lose sight of our authentic selves. I am passionate about providing an environment of warmth, empathy, and exploration to help my clients better understand and honor their true selves.

I've been a social worker for over 30 years with experience working in schools, crisis centers, public and private agencies, and in private practice for over 12 years. I have worked with people aged 6 to 86, currently working primarily with adults. It takes a lot of courage to start therapy...to take the risks associated with truly looking at, learning about, and choosing accountability to address the parts of our lives that trouble us or the people we care about. If you are reading this, it's time to take a risk. You are worth it.

."I belong, therefore I am." The sense of belonging has often been wounded, damaged or undeveloped. Initially in our family, later in school, with friends and at work. Through the process of exploration and self-searching, we can begin to let ourselves go. When we are kind, and less consumed by our own ego; the darkness of depression and anxiety have less of a hold and we can find freedom.

I often hear, "But other people have it worse," in an attempt to downplay our struggles and make things feel more manageable. While this mindset may be helpful at times, it also minimizes the importance of our current situation and dismisses our feelings. Whatever you are facing, if it's important to you it's also important to me. As a clinician with experience in multiple therapeutic settings, I have treated panic disorders, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I also have a special spot in my heart for grief and loss and earned a certification in Grief Therapy.

I am an empathetic, perceptive therapist that is dedicated to my clients. Through the use of Cognitive Behavioral, Strength-Based and Person-Centered therapies, I start where the client is to assist them in developing their goals. I am socially conscious of individuals' differences and work hard to make my clients feel at ease and devoid of personal viewpoints.

I like to think of myself as a seasoned clinician who has adapted and adjusted to the changing times. I am currently providing telehealth services only. I have evolved my craft toward a mindfully oriented practice which I combine with cognitive, behavioral and DBT techniques. My work supports adults (26+) going through their journey of radical acceptance focusing on those life changing events which can often cause emotional dysregulation.

I work with clients of all ages on issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, and interpersonal challenges. I see therapy as a way of understanding how our past experiences impact our present, unlearning negative beliefs that were picked up along the way, and accessing internal resources necessary for healing. I am trained in EMDR, which is a powerful approach for reprocessing and healing trauma wounds.

Sometimes in life we find ourselves feeling lost or alone on our journey. We each need to know that someone will be there to help us find our way.

Feeling anxious all the time is such a crippling feeling and can feel like there is no escaping it. Just when one anxious thought starts to go away, another one shows up and takes its place. It can feel like an endless cycle of racing thoughts, worry, and fear about anything and everything. It’s hard to know when the anxiety will be over especially living in an anxiety-inducing world that is constantly changing which in turn leads to more anxiety. If this sounds like you, you're not alone!

My ideal client is someone who has always put others first—whether as a caregiver, a parentified adult, or a chronic people-pleaser—yet finds themselves struggling to meet their own needs. They may feel overwhelmed by anxiety, lost in the challenges of aging, or curious about exploring alternative healing modalities like cannabis but unsure where to start. Their goal is to reclaim their sense of self, find balance, and achieve a greater sense of peace and fulfillment. They want to break free from the patterns that have kept them stuck and are ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment.

Life is not simple. There are many unplanned, uncontrollable and unfair things that serve as roadblocks to our “ideal” life, despite our best intentions. As a therapist, it is my mission to provide my clients with a reliable space, separate from life’s complexity, in which they are met with empathy, acceptance, and empowerment. In this space, clients are invited to be their genuine selves, explore who they are, and understand the influence their life experiences have had on how they interact with the world around them. You are capable of handling what life throws at you, but you do not have to handle everything alone!
