The overall theme of my life is a journey to deepen my appreciation and understanding of human experience. Along the way I have become a mental health counselor, Zen practitioner and meditator, anthropologist and archeologist, tango and swing dance instructor and performer, songwriter, and guitarist. I bring these various experiences into my counseling practice through mindfulness, creativity, and awareness of multiculturalism. I feel that despite the ups and downs of life, it is possible to find fulfillment and joy through developing a broad perspective, open mind, and attention to the momentary experiences of everyday life. I hope to offer others relief from their suffering and greater appreciation for their lives.

“Between stimulus and response, there is a space; within that space lies your power and freedom…” Here’s the thing; we’re all basically the same- but then again, not. Our reactions (to unexpected events, comments, public scrutiny) can vary, depending on our nature, personality, character and whether or not we’ve had breakfast. While the last part was just to get your attention, I’m committed to understanding what makes YOU “tick” and why you respond the way you do. That, in and of itself may be fascinating, but my true intention is to get you back on track, help you find your footing and become laser-focused & confident, regardless of your circumstances! A bit about me: A native New Yorker, I acquired my MSW following a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from CCNY. Essentially, I view myself as a scientist and life coach, a motivator who recognizes that we’re ALL unique individuals, but do share many of the same thoughts & feelings. Most of us have struggled with anxiety, uncertainty and self-doubt; yet we’ve also experienced feeling confident, grounded and secure at one time or another. Then something happened and our self-esteem took a hit; there were setbacks. Bear in mind, our backgrounds and early childhood experiences, our genetic predispositions all serve to shape our personalities and the essence of our being. To that end, as a clinician, I strive to guide individuals to examine their beliefs- in order to gain insight into their potentially self-destructive behavior- or whatever is getting in the way of their progress. Together, we’ll explore what’s influenced your self-concept and self-esteem. The saying that always resonated with me, “If you think you can, or you think you can’t- you’re right…” Life can feel overwhelming & insurmountable, but with the right tools, the sky’s the limit- whatever you’re facing!

Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming—especially if you've tried therapy before and felt misunderstood, stuck, or unsure if it was helping. My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are, without judgment, and feel genuinely heard, supported, and understood. 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.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a graduate of Fairfield University. I work with teens, young adults, and older adults on concerns such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, self-esteem, and stress. I aim to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable exploring what they’re going through and building insight into their experiences. In my work, I use a collaborative approach and often draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I focus on helping clients develop practical coping skills they can use in their daily lives and supporting them as they work through change and build more balance and confidence.

I provide an all-gender affirming, warm and non-judgemental approach that blends components of CBT, ACT, and narrative therapies to help you reconnect with your values, heal from the past, and create more joy in everyday life. I bring strong clinical assessment skills, a bit of awkward humor, and a healthy balance of optimism and realism into each session. I’m especially passionate about supporting clients who are exploring their neurodivergence, navigating gender identity, healing from religious trauma, or facing challenges in relationships. I see therapy as a partnership where we create space for both reflection and action. Together, we’ll uncover what’s holding you back, develop practical tools for change, and work toward a life that feels more aligned and authentic.

I use an eclectic therapeutic approach tailored to each client’s unique needs, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Reality Therapy, and Person-Centered Counseling. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where children, teens, and their families feel heard, understood, and empowered. Through CBT, I help clients recognize and reframe unhelpful thought patterns, develop coping skills, and build emotional resilience. Using a solution-focused approach, I work collaboratively with clients to identify strengths, set achievable goals, and create practical strategies for success both at home and in school.
