Hi, I’m Jenny, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and therapist dedicated to helping you navigate life’s challenges—because let’s face it, life can be an adventure! Born in Italy, I bring warmth, authenticity, and maybe a touch of pasta-loving charm to every session. Moving to the U.S. in 2008 taught me the beauty of blending cultures, deepening my appreciation for every client’s unique story. My approach? Think of it as a cozy conversation over coffee—comfortable, collaborative, and focused on bringing out your strengths. I’m a Certified Anxiety Informed Professional, trained in EMDR, hypnotherapy, CBT, and DBT, offering effective tools to manage emotions, heal from past experiences, and build resilience. Together, we’ll create a safe space for hope, growth, and yes, even a little laughter. I’m excited to walk alongside you on this journey!
In our first session, you can expect a warm, welcoming space where we’ll begin to get to know each other and build a sense of trust. We’ll talk about what brings you here, explore your goals, and touch on any previous experiences with mental health support. I’ll also share more about how I work and answer any questions you may have to help you feel comfortable and at ease. This session is really about understanding your unique story and creating a strong foundation for the work we’ll do together.
As a therapist, I bring empathy, adaptability, and a strong commitment to helping each client feel seen and supported. Growing up in Italy and experiencing different cultures has deepened my appreciation for each person’s unique story, allowing me to connect with a warm, open, and understanding approach. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can fully be yourself. My goal is to meet you where you are, helping you find meaningful growth and healing in a way that feels right for you.
I welcome anyone who is ready to take the brave step toward growth and healing. I’m here to support you, whatever your journey looks like. Having personally experienced the challenges of panic attacks, I understand how overwhelming it can feel, and I bring both my professional expertise and genuine empathy to our work together. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, trauma, or just seeking a safe space to navigate life's challenges, I'm here for you. Let's work together to help you find peace, resilience, and strength.
My experience with CBT has equipped me to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. I regularly use CBT to support clients in managing depression, anxiety, and other mental health challenges by building practical, actionable skills.
I have completed full training in EMDR, allowing me to guide clients through the process of reprocessing traumatic memories. This modality has been especially effective in helping clients reduce distress associated with past trauma and build resilience.
With comprehensive training recently obtained in hypnotherapy, I use this modality to help clients access subconscious thoughts and address issues like stress and anxiety. It’s a powerful tool for facilitating deep relaxation and self-exploration.
I use motivational interviewing by fostering a collaborative, nonjudgmental environment where clients explore their values, identify goals, and resolve ambivalence to empower meaningful change.
I use solution-focused brief treatment by helping clients identify strengths, set clear goals, and develop practical solutions, focusing on what works rather than dwelling on problems.
