Hello there! My name is Jessica, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Alcohol & Drug Counselor (CADC). I have over 22 years of experience working with individuals and families.

Hello there. My name is Jenny and I aim to help you alleviate that feeling of overload, stress, and feeling frozen in place. I know all too well the weight and pressure of trying to balance the impossible. The good news is that you don't have to anymore as you and I work together to tease out the tangled mess that is life.
I have been working with children, adults, and older adults for the past twenty-four years as a social worker. I've had my clinical licensure for the past 18 years. My specialties include depression, anxiety, and grief/loss. My most recent work has been in hospice care for the past 13 years with older adults and families going through the death of a loved one.

Life can be difficult, and sometimes we can get overwhelmed or lose our way. As a therapist, I can be a healthy support system to help you
achieve emotion regulation by learning ways to control your emotional state and needs in various situations.
I provide comfort in processing unresolved grief through psychoeducation about the 6 stages of grief (Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance, Meaning).
I lend support to you through your past and current traumatic events.
I also focus on family and couple conflicts by addressing specific issues and improving communication and conflict resolution.
If you find yourself relating to any of these this can be the time to seek additional support. I can help children ages 4 and up individual adults, couples, and families. I offer a safe space of support, empathy, and encouragement as we work together through your healing journey to become your best possible self.

Life is truly a gift that is meant to be enriching, filled with freedom and happiness. At times we experience challenges that prevent us from living life the way we truly desire. As a modern cognitive behavioral therapist I understand these challenges and how they may alter us internally. My approach to therapy is a collaborative, solution focused and non judgmental.
Through this approach I will assist in gaining insight into who you are, empower you to grow and allow you to truly gain the life that you deserve to live. I value being emotionally, behaviorally and mentally healthy. Together we can identify the best strategies, perspectives and mindsets in order for you to create long lasting mental, emotional and behavioral health that can improve your life.

Hi I'm Regina
Do you know that everyone feels overwhelmed; especially now.
Balancing family, work demands, and life is challenging. Everyone experiences these things differently and may need some reminding of their own strengths. I am a highly trained therapist with many years of experience helping clients realize their own potential. My approach is filtered through a culturally rich and ethnically diverse lens. I'm gentle, empathic and meet my clients where they are at.
Building upon past coping mechanisms will enable you to develop and find more effective ways of managing life stressors. Look, I get that everyone has some level of depression and anxiety. There are many interventions we can use from the traditional methods such as cognitive behavioral and solution-focused to the latest smart phone apps.
I recognize that it will be hard work! But, through your hard work will be where true success comes.
