I've been working virtually since 2016, and get comments about how easy it is to feel connected and comfortable in video sessions with me. My style is to listen, then provide you with various skills to help you in the present time, which helps you empower your life to align with your best self. I appreciate being humorous and light, and can also be pretty challenging to help you grow. I will not sit back and just nod... I give homework and help you make changes week to week.

Welcome.
I work with adults who feel weighed down by sadness, stress, or disconnection—even if they can’t always explain why. Many of the people I support are parents who want to show up with patience and love for their children but find themselves triggered by old wounds or past patterns.
Together, we explore what it means to care for both the child in front of you and the child within you. My approach is somatic and creative, weaving in body awareness, journaling, expressive arts, nature, and reading books.
If you’re seeking healing from attachment wounds, longing to feel lighter, or simply hoping to feel more at home in your own skin, therapy can offer the safe space to begin.
The work I do with clients is centered on providing first and foremost, a safe space to be seen and heard. I then provide life tools, education, and promote enhancing qualities that bring meaning and value into my clients’ lives. I have worked with a wide-range of individuals ranging from crisis intervention and stabilization to professional development.

Hello, my name is Jenny and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have 12 years of full-time experience in various venues, such as corrections, community, crisis, hospital, and an outpatient counseling.
Our path is marked by significant people and experiences that impact our attachment, mindset, and worldview. Some are positive, and some are painful, both leaving a lasting impression that reflects our identity, self-esteem, and sense of purpose. I seek to walk alongside my clients as they find meaning in those relationships and experiences. I am considerate of the story my clients have to tell. I offer a compassionate space to meet them where they are and provide an authentic therapeutic relationship.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Addictions Counselor in the state of Colorado. I received my Master's degree in Forensic Psychology from the University of Denver in 2017. After completing my Master’s Degree, I spent almost six years working with criminal justice involved clients - from substance abuse to domestic violence offenders. While I learned a lot doing that work, and it was extremely fulfilling to service victims and offenders, I decided to pursue working for myself within the private practice setting. I primarily utilize Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Behavioral techniques in my sessions, as well as being trained in Brainspotting for trauma specific treatment. I strongly believe in the connection between physical health and mental health, and do my best to focus on both aspects with the clients I see. I feel fortunate to be able to hear and share in other's stories and be a part of their journey to wellness.
I specialize in major life changes (marriage, growing family, divorce, death, career change, illness, caregiver stress, etc.) as well as trauma. All these things can cause you to no longer want to do the things you used to love, things that bring you joy. You feel like you to barely recognize yourself anymore. You may not even be able to put your finger on what happened; all you know is that you are not the same person you used to be, and you don’t like it.
I utilize EMDR along with solution-oriented and cognitive behavioral approaches. I look at all aspects of your life; mind, body, environment, and spirit. What we believe about ourselves and the world around us totally affects our behavior and our feelings. Call me today and let’s talk about how I can help you become the person you were before “stuff” happened.
