Hi, I’m Christina, a Licensed Professional Counselor. I know starting therapy can feel uncomfortable, especially when you’re used to handling things on your own. My goal is to create a space where you can talk openly about what’s going on without feeling judged or pressured to have everything figured out. I work with individuals who may be dealing with anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, life changes, or simply feeling overwhelmed. In our sessions, we’ll take time to understand what’s contributing to how you’re feeling, identify patterns that may no longer be working for you, and find healthier ways to manage what life is bringing your way. I’m easygoing and supportive in my approach, but I’ll also challenge you when needed. Therapy with me isn’t about having all the answers, it’s about having a place to work through things, learn more about yourself, and figure out what works best for you.

Welcome! My practice supports adolescents, young adults, and millennials as they navigate identity, relationships, any life transitions, and emotional healing.

I'm Jenny, a neurodivergent Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I work with adolescents and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, stress, trauma, and burnout. I have experience supporting neurodivergent individuals, first responders, individuals facing fertility challenges, and perinatal mental health concerns. As someone who is neurodivergent myself, I understand firsthand that many people move through the world feeling different, overwhelmed, misunderstood, or exhausted from trying to meet expectations that weren't designed with them in mind. Whether you're navigating executive functioning challenges, sensory sensitivities, masking, burnout, or simply trying to better understand yourself, therapy can provide a space where you don't have to explain or justify your experiences. Many of the individuals I work with have spent years putting others first, minimizing their own needs, or feeling like they should be able to manage everything on their own. Therapy offers an opportunity to slow down, gain insight into what's keeping you stuck, and develop tools to help you create change. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and tailored to your unique needs. I integrate evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and strengths-based approaches. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all model, I work alongside you to identify meaningful goals and create a path forward that feels realistic, sustainable, and aligned with you. You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Whether you're seeking support for a specific challenge or simply feeling ready for change, I'd be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.

Seeking therapy is a courageous first step, and you don't have to have everything figured out before we begin. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck, my goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely understood, respected, and supported. I take a person-centered, integrative approach to therapy, which means I tailor our work to you rather than trying to fit you into one specific style of therapy. Drawing from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Motivational Interviewing, Positive Psychology, and mindfulness-based interventions, we'll work together to better understand what's happening, identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and build practical tools for meaningful change. Clients often describe my style as warm, collaborative, genuine, and thoughtfully direct. I believe therapy works best when you feel comfortable enough to be yourself while also feeling supported to challenge old patterns, discover new perspectives, and continue growing at a pace that feels right for you.
