Hi, I’m Jenessa. I'm a therapist, former school counselor and teacher. For the past 15 years my passion has been supporting children and families strengthen their relationship and experience self-growth. I know that making sense of our life stories can be difficult. You and your child deserve a guide to be with when things are hard. I offer child, teen, and family therapy, as well as parent coaching. In our work together I focus on uncovering greater self-awareness and stronger interpersonal relationships.

Are you feeling frustrated with your relationship? You love your partner, but you notice a disconnect that can seem overwhelming or hopeless. Can things improve? Does this mean the end of your marriage? It can seem like an exhausting cycle that you do not know how to break. Relationships need maintenance to manage the stresses of life, support to discover new ways to interact and communicate with one another, and time and space for intimacy. I would love to help you find ways to reconnect with each other, to face the fears and anxieties about the relationships in your life, and to make the therapy process a little less intimidating.

Sometimes we face difficult decisions, obstacles, tragedies, and relational issues that seem insurmountable despite our attempts to make a resolution or create lasting change. By deciding to seek help and take a fresh look at issues through a systemic therapeutic lens, together, we can create a safe and fresh perspective that supports working individually and relationally to develop new skills and solutions that typically result in lasting change and resolution.

Brainwashed by our pain-avoidant culture, our egos try to boss our minds, bodies and souls around. “Quit crying.” “Get over it already.” But society's push to hurry up and get over it is inadvertently creating a pain paradox; people are being forced to try to “heal” in the trappings of shameful isolation. But if we still ourselves and allow our deepest, truest inner voice to be heard over the ego’s tyrannical whispers, we will come to realize that human suffering is NORMAL and not something to get over. Pain, no matter how subtle or severe, is a form of energy that demands to be acknowledged, befriended and even accomodated.

God is in our lives whether we want to admit it or not. He knew us before our parents did. He has a plan for our lives and he has known what our lifeline looked like when we were conceived. He also knows our “freshness date”...the date, the day, down to the minute when we will be joined again with Him. He knows us. Intimately. He has given us our temperament, how we are to be, and how we can be happy, it is a gift. When we go against our inborn temperament, we run into problems like physical ailments, anxiety, all of it.

Hannah understands that people have different experiences that shape who they become in their lives, while these experiences are the results of some choices made, many of them may be from patterns that have been passed down generationally that they may not have control over. Hannah understands that people may not know how to change their lives if they are functioning under the way they have always been taught; recognizing these patterns of behavior can take courage and that learning what is in their control and what is out of their control can help them see what they want to be different.

Teen Therapists

What does therapy for teenagers look like?

When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.

How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?

There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.

How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?

It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.

How do you prepare teens for therapy?

You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
