Hi there! I'm Jenna. I'm a licensed psychologist (PhD) based in Northeastern Ohio. My patients are the experts in their own lives, and my role is to create a space for them to process, explore, and learn how to relate to experiences differently. Whether it's learning skill-building and relaxation techniques to improve one's ability to regulate emotions or learning how to "say no" assertively, therapy will be informative, collaborative, comfortable, and transparent. Please note that my practice is currently part-time, and I may not be the right therapist if you’re looking for more availability. I'm licensed in CA and OH, and PSYPACT-credentialed to see people across state lines.
The first session is an opportunity to discuss your background and aspects of your identity that are valuable to you, ask questions, and get a sense of whether we're a "good fit" as a therapist-client. It's important that you have a therapist you "vibe with" and feel as comfortable as possible with. Our first session helps you get a sense of me as a therapist.
I'm passionate about helping people and truly enjoy helping patients navigate life, using an integrative approach. I’ve mostly worked with those adjusting to life with chronic medical conditions or disability following injury, moving with grief through life, feelings of shame or guilt, relationship constellations found within polyamory/CNM relationships, or Functional Neurological Disorders (FND). I currently work almost exclusively with functional seizures (PNES) in my full-time job.
I work best with individuals prepared to work on themselves and their mental health. Patients willing to complete homework and practice on this own outside of therapy. I’m not the right fit if you want the work to only happen during appointments.

I draw on multiple therapeutic modalities, utilizing a targeted, patient-centered treatment approach that incorporates aspects of culture and intersecting identities to develop a collaborative plan tailored to your treatment goals. These approaches may include Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), various cognitive-behavioral approaches to treat chronic pain, insomnia, anxiety, headaches secondary to a traumatic brain injury or other medical condition, skills-based behavioral strategies that address functional changes due to a medical condition, Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) for depression, Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) for depression, and cognitive-behavioral approaches to bereavement or complicated/prolonged grief. I believe each person is an expert in their own life, and treatment goals are developed collaboratively to guide our process. Each patient is asked to practice skills, complete homework exercises outside of the session, and regularly complete measures to help track their symptoms.
I appreciate the beauty of group therapy and the connections it fosters among people who share similar life experiences. Especially in the context of grief and helping people to feel less alone in their process.

I absolutely love Jen! I've had her for over a year and she's the best therapist I've ever had (and I've had a handful of therapists)! Great at meeting me where I am, coming up with ideas and skills to help me grow and regulate my emotions, and giving me perspective on things I feel uncertain about. Couldn't recommend her more!
