Hi and welcome to my page! My name is Jen and I am a LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor). I have 12 years of experience helping individuals process through grief, learn new skills to manage anxiety and depression and collaborate to live their healthiest life. I believe in the whole person and how life, family and genetics fully affect mental health, while knowing that learning new skills can fully change those patterns. I am a devoted human in life and a devoted therapist every day.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and I want to make that first session as comfortable and clear as possible. In our initial meeting, we'll spend time getting to know each other. I'll ask about what brought you in, what challenges you're facing, and what you hope to gain from therapy. There's no pressure to share everything at once. We'll move at a pace that feels right for you. We'll also talk through any questions you have about the therapy process, set some goals together, and start to build a working relationship based on trust and collaboration. My goal is for you to leave that first session feeling heard, supported, and a little more helpful about the path ahead.
One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is my ability to meet clients where they are, with warmth, patience, and practical support. Clients often tell me they feel genuinely seen and understood in our work together. I bring a grounded, compassionate presence that helps people feel safe enough to explore difficult emotions and strong enough to start making meaningful change.
I'm best positioned to support clients who are ready to better understand their emotions, improve their relationships, and develop healthier ways of coping. Whether you're a parent concerned about your child's behavior, a teen feeling overwhelmed by stress or self-doubt, or an adult navigating loss or big life transitions, I offer a compassionate and practical approach to therapy. My goal is to create a supportive space where you feel safe, seen, and empowered to move forward.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have been using CBT for 12 years with my clients. I begin by understanding my client's issues, including their thoughts, emotions and behaviors. I collaborate with my clients to set specific goals. I assist my client in understanding CBT principles helping them understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions and behaviors. I assist them with identifying and recording their negative thoughts. We work on challenging their negative thoughts and reframing them into more balanced and positive ones.

Jen has been wonderful! She consistently works with us on the goals we set ourselves, and she sets reasonable guidelines for optional homework if we would like. She makes each of us feel heard and validated. She is personable while maintaining professional demeanor throughout the entire session. She makes us feel better after our sessions and gives us concrete, attainable goals to work on for the next session, working with us to create our goals.

Went through a very traumatic breakup and she has been there to help me at every stage and has really helped me see the positive in situations. She is easy to talk to and I come out of every session feeling very encouraged!
