After all, this is your healing journey which I am hopeful to support and guide you along the way.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with extensive experience providing therapy and case management in both outpatient and community-based settings. My approach integrates evidence-based and trauma-informed practices, including CBT, TF-CBT, and attachment-based therapy, to help clients build resilience, self-awareness, and healthier relationships. I speak both English and Amharic and value the importance of diversity, cultural humility, and representation in the therapeutic process. I strive to create a supportive, inclusive, and culturally responsive space where individuals and families can heal, grow, and connect with their strengths.

Hi, I’m Jenny! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. I’ve had the privilege of working with people of all ages, but I especially enjoy helping adults navigate the ups and downs of life. My background includes working in community agencies, private practice, and with military families, which has given me a wide range of experience with challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, ADHD, and self-esteem struggles. As a military spouse myself, I understand firsthand how stressful transitions, deployments, and constant changes can feel. I bring that personal perspective into my work, along with specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT).
