If you are unsure about whether therapy is right for you please cont act me for a consultation.
Therapy is a space where you can expand your understanding of self, find support, acceptance and insight. People come to me feeling unsure and insecure, repeating the same frustrating patterns over and over again, and afraid to let go of what’s not working. We will work together to dig deep into those things they know they need to look at to move out of old and unhealthy cycles, get unstuck, and move forward.

I use somatic methods and talk therapy to create a space for inquiry, exploration and acceptance of emotions and challenge.
Hi, I'm Jenny. Maybe you are feeling overwhelmed or deeply concerned about life situations, change, or a loss. Maybe you don’t even know how you feel but know it is time to reach out for help. Maybe you are missing something in the past or feeling not up to the future. You are not alone in this. These moments are some of the most important in a life, and it is easier to face them with support. That is where therapy can start. “The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.” -Carl Rogers.

I provide individual therapy based on social justice, sex-positive, and Covid-conscious values. I'm most passionate about working with clients on interpersonal relationships, self-esteem/self-image, sexuality, gender, finding meaning/purpose in life, and harm caused by systemic oppression/marginalization. Unfortunately, I'm not able to offer skilled therapy for substance use, disordered eating, ADHD, OCD, or psychosis. I have a chronic illness, so I work best with clients who can be flexible with their availability as I sometimes need to reschedule for health reasons.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists
How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.
What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.
Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.
How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
