Hi, I’m Jenny! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges in a supportive, relaxed, and judgment-free environment. I’ve worked in community agencies, private practice, and with military families, giving me experience supporting children, teens, and adults through concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, grief, self-esteem struggles, and major life transitions. As a military spouse myself, I understand firsthand how overwhelming transitions, deployments, and constant change can feel. I bring both personal understanding and professional training into my work, including specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each client’s unique needs, with a focus on helping you feel safe, understood, and empowered while building practical tools for everyday life.

I specialize in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), military, trauma, and Christian counseling. My goal is to help people learn their emotions, develop coping skills that truly work, and understand what healthy relationships can truly look and feel like. My other specialties include working with teens adjusting to life changes and active-duty military service members, their families, and veterans with military life.

I have a decade of experience focusing on children, adolescents, adults, women, men focusing on depression, anxiety, work life balance, sexual health, sexual addictions, grief and loss, life transitions, domestic violence, eating disorders, abuse against children, relationship health, marriage counseling, pre-marriage counseling, trans gender issues and court mandated therapy services. THIS WORK is my life’s passion and it is a honor to be in this profession. I graduated summa cum laude from the University of Michigan with a degree in Interpersonal Practice and it is my life’s work to help you get to a place you want to be. I provide a safe, nurturing, and non-judgmental environment to help you overcome your past struggles and present barriers. I will guide you to help yourself to master the tools necessary to effectively navigate through the complexities of life with a new set lenses in order to help you reach your full potential.
