Welcome! My name is Jenny and I am glad you're here! As a compassionate therapist dedicated to helping individuals of all ages navigate life's challenges, I am here to support you in your journey towards healing and growth. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, or navigating identity, my goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your feelings and develop coping strategies. I believe in empowering my clients to harness their strengths and resilience as they work towards achieving their goals. In my free time, I enjoy reading and spending time with my 4 dogs Jessie, Shelby, Lexi and Koda. Let's work together to overcome challenges and foster personal growth!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know you and your unique story—think of it as an informal chat, but with a bit more purpose! We’ll discuss the importance of confidentiality and create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can share your thoughts and emotions freely. I like to use humor to lighten the mood, so don’t be surprised if we share a laugh or two along the way! I believe that building rapport is key to effective therapy, and making you feel comfortable is my top priority. During our time together, I’ll ask open-ended questions to explore your current concerns and background. We’ll also discuss your expectations for therapy and set some collaborative goals. By the end of the session, you’ll have a clearer idea of how we’ll move forward, all while knowing you have a dedicated partner in your journey toward healing and growth. Let’s make this a positive experience!
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I’m a therapist with over four years of experience dedicated to helping people of all ages find their path to healing and growth. I’m passionate about what I do and truly believe in the potential for change in every individual. As a compassionate listener and hard worker, I strive to create a safe space where you can share your story without judgment. Having navigated my own trauma, I understand the challenges that can arise, and this experience helps me connect with clients on a personal level. I approach our work with curiosity, seeking to understand how your experiences impact your life and relationships. I’m meticulous in my process, ready to break down complex issues into manageable steps and build back up from there. My goal is to meet you where you are, highlighting your strengths and developing practical strategies for positive change. Whether you’re facing anxiety, trauma, or just looking for a deeper understanding of yourself, I’m here to support you on your journey. Let’s work together to unlock your potential and create a happier, more fulfilling life!

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is my primary focus. I find it particularly effective for addressing issues like anxiety, depression, and stress. Through CBT, we’ll explore the connections between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, equipping you with practical tools to challenge negative patterns and foster a more positive outlook.
Cognitive Processing (CPT)
CPT is a structured, evidence-based therapy specifically designed to help individuals dealing with trauma and PTSD. It focuses on how traumatic experiences impact thoughts and feelings, and aims to challenge and modify unhelpful beliefs that may arise as a result of those experiences. CPT is an empowering journey that not only addresses the aftermath of trauma but also helps you build a stronger sense of self. I’m here to support you every step of the way.
EMDR
EMDR is a dynamic therapy designed to help individuals process and heal from trauma and distressing memories. It’s an effective approach that uses bilateral stimulation—often through guided eye movements—to help rewire how memories are stored in the brain. EMDR can be a transformative experience, helping you not just cope with trauma but thrive beyond it. I’m here to support you on this journey towards healing and resilience!
Parent-Child Interaction (PCIT)
PCIT is a unique, hands-on therapy designed to improve the relationship between parents and their children, especially those dealing with behavioral challenges. This approach empowers parents with practical skills to create a nurturing and effective parenting environment. PCIT is all about fostering positive connections and promoting effective parenting strategies that can lead to lasting change. I’m here to support you and your child every step of the way!
Trauma-Focused CBT
TF-CBT is a specialized, evidence-based treatment designed to help children and adolescents who have experienced trauma. It combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with trauma-sensitive interventions to support emotional healing and resilience. TF-CBT is designed to empower children and their families, helping them move forward with strength and resilience. I’m here to support your family on this journey toward healing!
