Hello, my name is Jenny and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have 12 years of full-time experience in various venues, such as corrections, community, crisis, hospital, and an outpatient counseling. Our path is marked by significant people and experiences that impact our attachment, mindset, and worldview. Some are positive, and some are painful, both leaving a lasting impression that reflects our identity, self-esteem, and sense of purpose. I seek to walk alongside my clients as they find meaning in those relationships and experiences. I am considerate of the story my clients have to tell. I offer a compassionate space to meet them where they are and provide an authentic therapeutic relationship.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we will work on understanding the challenges that you are facing and talk about how those are affecting you. I also provide psychoeducation so that you have a deeper understanding of the counseling process and what you can expect. We will work together to come up with a plan that will help move you towards achieving your desired goals.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I provide a safe, authentic, non-judgmental space to process what you are experiencing. I actively listen to understand my client's on a deeper level and to help them feel understood and heard. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is critical to my client's success.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

With over 12 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families, I bring an existential perspective to therapy. We are not promised tomorrow, so it's essential to make the most of today, live well in the moment, and incorporate our strengths and passions as we move through our life journey with purpose. I utilize cognitive behavioral and attachment therapy approaches to assist you in making healthy internal connections and also healthy connections in your relationships with others. My eclectic, strength-based approach is tailored to treat attachment issues, trauma, anxiety, depression, challenging behavior issues, parenting, existential crises, marriage and relationship challenges.
