I've been in the field of social services for over 25 years, and I've had the good fortune to work in many different settings and with a vast array of populations. As a therapist I create environments that help people feel safe and supported and assist people in building motivation towards positive change. My clinical work is grounded in research and evidence-based practices, and I always work at a pace that is tailored to your unique situation and goals. My approach to therapy is warm, individualized, compassionate, and flexible. I'm a humble man with a good sense of humor, and I'm sensitive yet direct when I communicate.

Existing as a human being these days can be rough. "Existing" translates into "not living fully." This is no fun for anybody. Many individuals suffer from uncomfortable symptoms leading to feelings of sadness, irritability, or fatigue. Others experience trouble concentrating, racing or negative thoughts, and even difficulty breathing. You are not alone in this complicated world; it's easy to get off course and/or it can be difficult to find your way due to various roadblocks. It may help to work with a person outside your friend & family groups in an effort to gain a fresh perspective, to be seen with unbiased, non-judgmental eyes.

Choosing to seek therapeutic services is a courageous step, and having a compassionate guide on your journey to healing can make all the difference. I believe in the power of growth and resilience, and how embracing vulnerability can catalyze deep, meaningful personal transformation. As a counselor, my goal is to provide a safe, nurturing space for those navigating emotional complexities, with a focus on complex trauma (c-PTSD). I employ a holistic approach using evidence-based modalities like DBT, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and CBT to foster self-awareness and strengthen emotional connections.

Everyone experiences life differently, but one thing that we all have in common is that we don't feel our best all of the time. I believe that each person has the ability to improve the way that they're feeling. I want to learn what your strengths are so that together we can find skills that will empower you and help you to move closer to where you want to be.

My ideal client would be willing to work with me systemically, meaning someone willing to look beyond themselves and think, “Why is this happening?” instead of just thinking they are the problem. For example, if someone is coming in to work on depression and anxiety, my ideal client would be willing to explore the underlying issues contributing to the depression and anxiety instead of someone who is only looking for coping skills and such.

."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.

My ideal client is someone who may not be familiar with therapy but is open and eager to try it out. The ideal client would be a BIPOC individual seeking support on their healing journey. Someone who may have experienced trauma in their lives and is looking for a space where they can unpack, learn skills, psycho-education, explore, and express themselves in an inclusive environment.

You are more than what has happened to you. What you do today matters most. I affirm that every session is a gift the client gives to themselves towards their self-discovery and care. I have over 10 years of experience working with diverse and underserved populations. Working closely with children, adolescents, and adults across the lifespan has provided me with a lens in which I approach the work from a strengths-based focus that is accessible and allows the client to gain small insights over time. My areas of specialty include trauma/abuse, anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, disordered eating and body image issues.

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!

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.
