I received my master's degree from VCU in 2015, became licensed in 2020, and have been practicing on my own ever since. I live by two mottos "It takes a village" and "take time for you". It is important to “take time for yourself,” because we need time to recharge, so that we can continue to persevere. However, there comes a time in everyone’s life where the support of the village is needed. That’s why I believe it "takes a village” and working together as a team is important. Whether it is a clinician and client duo, or a team of medical professionals, we can achieve reasonable and practical goals.

I’m a licensed professional counselor specializing in working with individuals facing grief, anxiety, addiction, depression, and trauma. My approach is rooted in psychodynamic psychotherapy and existential therapy, which means I help clients explore the deeper emotional patterns and unconscious dynamics that shape their present struggles. I also guide them in confronting core existential questions—around meaning, freedom, isolation, and identity—that often underlie emotional pain. In our work together, I offer a space that is reflective, grounded, and emotionally honest. I believe symptoms are not just problems to eliminate but signals pointing toward deeper truths—unresolved grief, unmet needs, or a disconnection from self and others. Through this process, I support clients in making sense of their experiences, reclaiming personal agency, and moving toward a more authentic and meaningful life.

Things have started falling apart around you. You're worried about losing a relationship, your job, or worse. People close to you have started to mention they are worried about you. A part of you wants to change, but you're stuck between unbearable emotions and trying to keep everything under control. And it's not working out. You may be lashing out, drinking more, or avoiding people close to you. Whether you are dealing with depression, anxiety, anger, shame from the past, or out-of-control substance use, you don’t have to stay where you are – suffering. You’re resilient and persistent, and right now, you’re just stuck. I help people recover from being stuck in anxiety, depression, trauma, and/or the shame that comes with out-of-control substance use. I can help you figure out how to get back on track by teaching you the tools you’ll need to manage your feelings and problems and how to recover your relationships. No one needs to go through what you are feeling, alone. If you are ready for a new strategy and to try something different, I can help. The biggest result I could give you is to help you remove barriers that prevent you from achieving your goals. I do this with DBT, Brainspotting, and other therapy techniques.

Are you craving boundaries in your life, but don't know how to implement them? Are you struggling to let go of situations that are out of your control? Are you searching for skills to practice peace amongst life's chaos? Is a Christian perspective in therapy important to you? My name is Jenny, and I help individuals and couples to manage life's unexpected difficulties. I am a relational therapist who prioritizes building rapport and connection to achieve success. Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back to balance. In my practice, I use a short-term (6-8 sessions), cognitive-based approach to help you identify unwanted and unhelpful thoughts and challenge your thinking patterns and communication styles. When desired, I am happy to incorporate a Christian perspective into your care to provide a more holistic approach to mental health and relationships. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed in life, struggling in your relationships, or experiencing cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. Seeking counsel for life's challenges can feel scary, but is a sign of wisdom and strength. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the challenges you face. I look forward to working with you!
