Now offering EMDR and EMDR Intensives in Michigan and Arizona. Are you feeling stuck in past experiences, overwhelmed by anxiety, or struggling with the impact of trauma? EMDR therapy can help you process and heal in a way that feels safe, effective, and empowering. As a therapist trained in EMDR, I specialize in helping clients move through distressing memories and emotions, so they no longer hold power over their daily lives.

I work to create a nonjudgmental, explorative, and insightful space where you can feel empowered, supported, and safely challenged. I believe in your autonomy and that you know yourself best, so we’ll work together to identify your strengths, areas of distress, and opportunities for growth. My approach is humanistic and trauma-informed, drawing from ACT, somatic practices, and parts-work. I also bring a social justice and intersectional-feminist lens, and am sex-positive and affirming of kink, gender identities, and sexual orientations.

Currently accepting new clients! - I believe we are all doing the best we can with the tools and capacity we have at the time. While neither of us can magically eliminate the challenges you are experiencing, we can work together to strengthen your tools and your capacity. I believe self-awareness is the first step toward growth, but on its own it is not enough. Only when paired with self-compassion can we make meaningful changes in our lives and in ourselves. I love supporting people as they explore who they are and engage in the challenging pursuit of growth and finding purpose.

Feeling stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed? I specialize in treating PTSD, OCD, GAD, Panic Disorder, social anxiety, depression, and co-occurring addictions or habits. I take a cognitive approach and use Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and other evidence-based energy psychology and other evidence-based therapy to process trauma and deactivate obsessions, worries, urges, negative thoughts (even suicidal ideation) and reduce emotional reactivity substantially. EFT can also support pain relief as a complementary method. I also use EMDR incorporated into EFT or use both. I have 50 hours of training each in EFT, TF-CBT, and EMDR.

Hello, my name is Jenna! I am focused on providing you a supportive, empathetic, and welcoming therapeutic experience. I want to help you and those you love with struggles by providing support and guidance. I take from a wide range of therapeutic modalities to work with clients to create an individual treatment plan to help them succeed and be the best version of themselves. I believe concerns stem not only from our individual thoughts and behaviors, but our environment and views of the environment. Challenges are a normal part of life, and guidance is sometimes needed in order to flourish and overcome challenges.

As a first-generation Iranian-American, I understand how layered this experience can be with holding pride in your heritage, family expectations, and quiet questions of identity and belonging.
Living between two worlds can be both rich and challenging. One world lives inside your home, in the language your family speaks, the food at the dinner table, traditions, and values passed down through generations. The other exists outside, in classrooms, friendships, and a culture that may feel different. Somewhere in between, you may feel like you are balancing many pieces. For many first-generation individuals, this quiet tension can feel heavy, but it also carries resilience, adaptability, and a unique perspective that becomes part of who you are.

As a child of immigrants and a Muslim raised between the U.S. and the Middle East, I carry a unique perspective that blends both cultures and the experience of being a Muslim in America. This cultural awareness has deepened my understanding of the challenges many face in navigating multiple identities, and I bring that insight into my therapeutic work.

We will work together to draw on your unique strengths, and I recognize and respect that you are the expert of your life.
