New to Grow
Hi, I'm Jenny and I've been practicing as a therapist for many years. I began my own healing work when the coping strategies I relied on, and the mask I wore to get through life, finally stopped working. My desire to live more honestly and deeply, eventually led me to become a therapist. This is the kind of space I now intend to hold for others. I have advanced specialized training working as a Board Certified Clinical Licensed Social Worker. I hold a Doctorate degree from the University of Miami and a master's degree from Simmons College. I know firsthand what an Anxiety Attack and Panic Attack feels like. My education and work training in many Clinical settings provides a very strong foundation as a therapist to help you heal and cope with your life challenges. Since I was 17 years old, I always had a passion to help others. At 17 years old I began working at Miami Children's Hospital now known as Nicklaus Hospital with Leukemia Children. In my 20's I worked counseling troubled teens and later in life worked in a Pediatric office for over 7 years with young mothers, couples, military families and teens. Later in my educational journey, I worked with many adults facing life challenges, couples counseling and many more different reasons people seek counseling. My strong background and experience make me a very good therapist to help anyone seeking therapy or counseling.
In therapy when working with me, I also incorporate occasional feedback forms throughout our work to ensure I’m aligned with your goals and that you’re experiencing meaningful progress. My priority in our first session is to create a sense of comfort and safety as we begin our work together. We’ll review the confidentiality agreement so you can feel confident that your privacy is respected and protected. Depending on your comfort level, we might explore your intake paperwork, talk about what brought you to therapy, or simply start with where you’re from and some of the key milestones in your life so far. I’ll always aim to tailor the session to your preferences and pace.
As a therapist, I bring a warm, disarming presence and welcome space for humor and levity in our work together. I’m committed to continually growing in my craft and draw from different approaches toward your healing. If you’re looking to learn new tools to navigate current challenges, I’m happy to share and practice those with you. If you’re seeking something deeper and more transformational, I’m here to support that journey as well. Our sessions are a shared space, where your voice and presence matter just as much as mine. I also incorporate occasional feedback forms throughout our work to ensure I’m aligned with your goals and that you’re experiencing meaningful progress.
Somatic, body-based therapy and nervous system regulation to heal emotional blocks held in the body, freeing clients from the past so they can create the life they want. Build self-worth, develop a supportive inner voice, and create fulfilling relationships and meaningful careers. I help clients build on their strengths rather than focusing solely on their struggles. Positive Psychology is the scientific study of well-being, resilience, meaning, and human flourishing. In my practice, I use techniques to help clients develop self-worth, cultivate a supportive inner voice, increase optimism, identify their core strengths, Over time, this process supports the rewriting of neural pathways in the brain, making it possible to move out of survival-based patterns and into more coherent, self-directed ways of being. Somatic I use somatic, body-based therapy & nervous system regulation to heal emotional blocks held in the body, freeing clients from the past so they can create the life they want. My goal is to help clients build self-worth, develop a supportive inner voice, & create fulfilling relationships & meaningful careers. Mindfulness-Based Therapy I am a Certified mindfulness & meditation therapist. In my practice, I use mindfulness-based techniques to help clients develop greater awareness of their thoughts, emotions, & physical sensations without judgment. This approach helps clients reduce anxiety, improve emotional regulation, & cultivate a deeper sense of presence, self-compassion, & well-being. Trauma Informed Care I have worked extensively with men & women who have experienced sexual trauma, infidelity, relationship wounds, & chronic stress. Trauma can become wired into both our biology and our identity, shaping how we think, feel, and respond long after the original experience has passed. In our work, we focus on developing awareness of these patterns, learning to regulate the nervous system, & healing emotional wounds held in the body.

Alongside CBT and client centered modalities, I often will use an integrative approach that is strength based, while we explore any given person's strength, I will try to begin integrating various interventions to help resolve the reasons that bring you to treatment.
