Are you craving boundaries in your life, but don't know how to implement them? Are you struggling to let go of situations that are out of your control? Are you searching for skills to practice peace amongst life's chaos? Is a Christian perspective in therapy important to you? My name is Jenny, and I help individuals and couples to manage life's unexpected difficulties. I am a relational therapist who prioritizes building rapport and connection to achieve success. Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back to balance. In my practice, I use a short-term (6-8 sessions), cognitive-based approach to help you identify unwanted and unhelpful thoughts and challenge your thinking patterns and communication styles. When desired, I am happy to incorporate a Christian perspective into your care to provide a more holistic approach to mental health and relationships. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed in life, struggling in your relationships, or experiencing cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. Seeking counsel for life's challenges can feel scary, but is a sign of wisdom and strength. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the challenges you face. I look forward to working with you!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In the first counseling session with me, clients can expect a warm, welcoming, and nonjudgmental environment where they can share their thoughts and concerns. The majority of our first session will be spent building rapport and gathering background information. We will discuss goals for treatment and create a plan for future sessions based on whether or not you feel I am a good fit for you. You will never be pressured into making a follow-up appointment, or committing to more sessions before you are ready.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My strength as a therapist is providing a safe space for people to feel heard and validated, while still creating change through challenge.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I truly enjoy working with couples who are committed to improving their relationship and eager to deepen their understanding of one another. It’s incredibly rewarding to help individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, burnout, adjustment challenges, and emotional pain who are seeking short-term counseling to develop coping skills. I also admire those who are ready to challenge themselves and make lasting changes in their lives.

Virtual & in-personMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
As a counselor, my experience with CBT is grounded in the idea that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected, and by changing negative or distorted thought patterns, we can improve emotional well-being and create lasting positive changes in behavior. In my practice, I use CBT in a short-term counseling model (6-8 sessions) to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, develop healthier coping strategies, and change behaviors that contribute to their struggles.
Christian Counseling
In my practice, Christian counseling is not about imposing religious beliefs but rather aligning therapeutic interventions with Christian values to create a holistic approach to mental health and personal growth.
Couples Counseling
In my practice, I work with both partners in a relationship to address conflicts, improve communication, and promote healthier interactions. In my experience, the goal of couples counseling is to create a safe space where both individuals feel heard, understood, and supported as they work through their issues.
