About
You feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or misunderstood. You may have begun to isolate yourself and avoid anything that induces fear, anxiety, anger, or stress. You may have developed coping skills that negatively impact your overall well-being. You may be having difficulty defining yourself or finding joy, peace, contentment, or security in your present circumstances. Well, pull up a seat, and let’s talk! My name is Jen, and I’ve been uniquely placed in your path, to walk alongside you in your journey for better outcomes and improved quality of life. You’re already on the right path. You’re the expert on the story of your life, and I would be profoundly honored to work together with you to shape the next chapters.
Empathy and energy drive my interactions and the relationships I develop are supported by my spiritual foundation as well as my own unique experiences.
First session
I understand that a therapeutic relationship requires comfort and a certain interpersonal energy that helps you feel at ease sharing your most personal information. Ideally, our first session will allow you an opportunity to "interview" me for this just right fit. If you are comfortable, we will proceed into a psycho-social assessment in which I will try to gain a complete picture of your current challenges, your past history, and your goals for therapy.
Strengths
Empathy and energy drive my interactions and the relationships I develop are supported by my spiritual foundation as well as my own unique experiences. In my personal life I have experienced deep joys and debilitating challenges. In counseling sessions, I have two primary guideposts: your energy and your outcomes. I am driven by data. I want you to feel safe and respected; I also want to challenge you toward greater outcomes, which can sometimes be a little uncomfortable. I want you to be motivated toward feeling and doing better.
Ideal clients
Clients who struggle with addiction, anxiety, depression, coping skills, learning disabilities, self-esteem, relationships, spirituality. I have extensive experience with group counseling and family psychoeducation. I have some experience with couples and family conflict.
Treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a type of psychotherapy that helps individuals develop psychological flexibility to manage difficult emotions and thoughts more effectively, ultimately leading to a more meaningful and fulfilling life. It does not aim to eliminate negative experiences, but rather to help individuals accept them as part of life and commit to actions aligned with their values.
Christian Counseling
Christian counseling integrates faith into the therapy process to promote improved mental health from a biblically-informed perspective. Christian counselors aim to address emotional suffering and dysfunction by providing compassionate support to those seeking help. With that foundational understanding, therapy often employs Multimodal Therapy.
