(she/her)
Welcome—my name is Jenny, and I am the founder of Wildflower Mind Counseling. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and former Emergency Medical Technician, and I’m truly glad you’re here. Reaching out for support is a meaningful step that takes courage, and I strive to create a space where you feel seen, supported, and understood. I work with adolescents and adults across a range of experiences, with particular focus on supporting neurodivergent individuals (including ADHD and autism), first responders and healthcare workers, those navigating fertility challenges and treatment, perinatal mental health, and postpartum experiences. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each person’s unique needs and goals.
Starting therapy can feel stressful or uncertain, and that’s completely normal. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, respected, and in control of the process from the very beginning. In our first session, I’ll ask questions to learn more about your history and different areas of your life that may be impacting your mental health. This helps me understand the full picture so I can best support you. You are always in charge of what you share—if something feels too personal or you’re not ready to talk about it, you can absolutely say so. We’ll also spend time discussing what brought you to therapy and what you hope to get out of it. Together, we’ll begin to develop a plan tailored to your goals, with a focus on collaboration, flexibility, and what feels most helpful for you.
My greatest strength is my commitment to a person-centered, individualized approach. I don’t believe therapy should be one-size-fits-all—each person brings a unique history, set of experiences, and goals. I tailor my work to meet you where you are, using evidence-based approaches while remaining flexible and responsive to your needs. Together, we identify the patterns, barriers, and underlying factors that may be holding you back, and work collaboratively to build practical, sustainable strategies for growth. This approach helps clients feel understood, empowered, and better equipped to create meaningful, lasting change.
I work best with individuals who are open to the process of therapy and curious about how it can support meaningful change in their lives. You don’t need to have everything figured out—just a willingness to explore, reflect, and try new approaches. I take a highly personalized approach, helping each person identify and work through their unique barriers, stressors, and patterns so they can move toward their goals and improve their overall quality of life. I also welcome clients who may have had difficult or unhelpful experiences with therapy in the past and are willing to give it another try. Creating a safe, collaborative space is central to my work. I value open communication and encourage feedback so we can adjust our approach together and find what truly works best for you.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a method I used frequently in my practice. Helping to work with individuals on how their thoughts, feelings and behaviors connect allows a better understanding on how to interrupt patterns that are no longer serving the person. I frequently use thought challenging and reframing as tools to manage negative, critical or unwanted thought patterns and help people find freedom from these cycles of thinking, which can lead to improvements in feelings and behaviors as well.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy is a favorite method of mine for emotion regulation and being able to use skills such as grounding with senses to help regulate emotions, focus on responding instead of reacting and improve interpersonal communication.
Trauma Informed Care
Creating a safe space is a priority in my practice. Using trauma informed care in all the work that I do is a huge piece of how I create this environment. Trauma impacts parts of our lives we may not realize and the impacts of it ebb and flow over time. I have found that being trauma informed and aware of how it can impact all areas of life allows for an environment and practice that can focus on empowering the individual and meeting them where they are at to help support them in moving through the traumas of their past to a future they create.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational Interviewing is a key part of my practice. Using this communication style to help individuals reflect on their stressors and identify barriers and address them to help create meaningful and sustainable change is something that has beneficial in many different contexts. I also like that this approach is person-centered and empowers the individual to identify issues and problem solve while providing support throughout the process.
Psychoeducation
In practice I have found that understanding why you are stuck in the pattern's you are is one of the first steps to being able to change those patterns and get unstuck. I use Psychoeducation often to help individuals better understand why they think, feel and behave how they do, where those patterns may have started and how to begin to shift them and create new patterns that serve you in the present.
