You are feeling STUCK, and a block is present that keeps you from moving forward. You have lived so much life, but memories, shame, and those tough feelings come back to remind you more than you care to admit. Life has thrown you curveballs, and yet you can’t figure out why you struggle with everyday tasks as simple as making a clarity filled decision. Not only that, but your body reminds you often of the stress it is under- even when you’ve done every coping skill you can think of. Breathing? Nope. Counting to ten? Forget it. You deserve to dig deeper. You deserve to rip off the bandaids.

If you're seeking help coping with life transitions (divorce, career changes, identity, becoming a parent), grieving a great loss, healing past trauma, improving self-confidence, or mending relationships, I may be a good fit for you. I use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI) approaches to help with these struggles. DBT helps with staying in the here and now, effective interactions with others, bearing painful events skillfully and managing our emotions. MI focuses on understanding what motivates us and helping us remove barriers to making healthy changes in our lives. I also use humor; it heals!

Welcome, I'm glad you're here. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and I specialize in body image, disordered eating, anxiety, depression, and athletes. I am extremely passionate about helping others strengthen their relationship with themselves, their body, and food. My aim is to help others reconnect with themselves and their intuition to live fully & wholly within their body. My hope for you is that you learn to access your intuition, and develop self-compassion and self-acceptance with the parts of you that are vulnerable, raw, and unedited. I believe that everyone deserves to recognize and believe in their own value.

If you are in search of an experienced, skilled and compassionate therapist to assist you in your journey to a place of increased hope, health and peace I welcome you to my private practice. If you struggle with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, self esteem, parenting, trauma, or grief/loss I invite you to contact me so that we can talk further about what your hopes and needs are. We all struggle in life at one point or another with a variety of different issues. I would like to provide you with a safe, confidential and comfortable place to come to begin your healing journey.

I believe it is a priority as a therapist to recognize the day-to-day differences in each person's experience and adjust to match those needs in sessions. I strive to engage clients in sincere conversations about their thoughts, emotions and experiences to build insight, provide coping skills, and move toward positive change. I focus on bringing a human connection to our discussions, providing a comforting environment and authentic interaction. I enjoy the opportunity at times to bring humor and levity to sessions, while also recognizing the deep vulnerability my clients share as we engage in therapy.

Hi, I’m Jenna! I believe that everyone can benefit from personal growth. Sometimes, life can be complicated and confusing, and it can be hard to move forward when we feel stuck with life decisions. I have a desire to provide extensive support, trust, and advocacy to help clients reach their personal goals. We can work together to identify skills and tools that are necessary to help support you along the way. Most importantly, we get to work together on where you want to be, and what goals are most important to you, and we can do that by emphasizing your own strengths!

I know you are struggling right now. Everything in life feels overwhelming. You've always been a high achiever, been really focused on your goals, and typically have met all of them. Lately, though, nothing ever feels clear. You feel stuck. Your relationships aren't where you'd like them to be. You are stretched too thin. You sometimes even wonder if the life you created is really the life you want. All of it, added up, is causing you to feel worn out, exhausted, and ready to throw in the towel. You just want to feel better and more engaged in the things you love.

Whether this is your first experience in therapy or you've attempted many times before, there is always a chance for internal growth. I have been providing therapy for individuals for the past 9 years and continue to feel honored to walk beside clients as they make the most incredible life changes. We all have something that is preventing us from becoming the best version of ourselves. The important piece is not what is keeping you stuck, but what are you willing to do to make a change.

Clients often arrive at my door carrying it all on their backs wishing to make sense of their experiences, and their stories. They are uncertain of how they've gotten to be where they are. They wish to know themselves wholly. They wish to live deliberately and to know where they belong. They hope to trust themselves. They crave an authentic connection to self. They seek permission to rest. They long for freedom and to feel empowered when they look in the mirror. They have been through the thick of it, have had to become resilient and feel called to finally come home to themselves with love and gentleness.

Living the life we envision is a journey that can be difficult when experiencing stressors, transitions, uncertainty, and instability. In a safe and collaborative environment, I will walk with you in exploring the areas of your life to discover healing in yourself, your relationships, and circumstances. Together we will work towards your goals and uncover the happiness, reflection, and coping to achieve them. I work with youth, adults, couples, and families experiencing challenges in their lives, including struggles with anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions.

People share common struggles that are nevertheless profoundly individual. My commitment is to honor your unique situation and provide a space to consider whatever issues and circumstances feel relevant. As whole people we have hopes, scars, memories, commitments, relationships, and our own evolving sense of self. My background in IFS and Mindfulness ensures a compassionate, judgment-free space and has instilled a core belief in the fundamental ability for you to increasingly understand yourself and to strengthen your capacity for resiliency and wellbeing.

My ideal client is someone who is ready to do their work in a unique and different way, a way that is easier and quicker than traditional methods, and gives you a tool to use for life. Emotional Freedom Techniuqes (EFT) is evidence based, and can be used anytime, anywhere on anything that is bothering you, once you learn how to apply it to yourself. I have been using EFT since 1998. I also offer distance counseling sessions via VSee.

Sherpa is the name for the person in Nepal who carries your baggage when you are climbing up a high mountain. That image fits with my vision of therapy or counseling. I see myself as your servant. I enjoy helping people carry the baggage you bring on the trip. The usefulness of what we do together is dependent on the quality of the relationship we can develop. Do you think that I can help you carry your baggage until you get back on the trail or are high enough on the mountain to see where you want to go?

If you are struggling with anxiety, depression or adjusting to new circumstances, I'll help you. When you come into my office, I won't tell you what to do. Instead, I will work to understand your struggles, advocate for you, brainstorm with you ways to navigate the ups and downs in life, help you gain and understand emotional resilience so that you feel confident in your ability to adapt to adversity and difficulties without long term complications, help you to communicate your needs skillfully and comfortably, and help you work to replace unhealthy coping behaviors with healthier coping strategies.
