Hello, I'm Jenna, and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My goal is to walk with you through your tough times, to help and encourage healthier thought processing and choices so that you can navigate through life’s hard spaces and hits, find your peace and content, and find a life worth living. I offer a safe and welcoming space to foster hope, growth, and healing. My approach is eclectic, I draw from a variety of theories and tailor each case based on the individual. I also provide evidence-based treatments and protocols such as CBT, DBT, CPT, and Attachment-Focused EMDR (AF-EMDR).

I imagine therapy as a means of deepening self knowledge and part of that is learning to recognize the messages that your body is sending you. Well-versed in the language of the body, I am skilled in facilitating the process of reintegration - learning to listen to what your body has to tell you, translating the messages from your own body, and utilizing the information of your lived somatic experience as part of your decision-making process.

Experiencing anxiety, depression, and trauma can be hard to navigate on one’s own. Through the use of integrative modalities, my goal is to help you find your way so that you can manage symptoms, feel your best, discover who you truly are, and move forward in the direction of your dreams whereby your past no longer holds you back. Using warmth and compassion, I also aim to provide trauma-informed care to discuss your struggles without judgment and safely process unresolved trauma and feelings.

Throughout our lives, we all have experienced feelings of depression, anxiety, and anger. These emotions leave you feeling insecure, shameful, lonely, unworthy and stuck in unhealthy patterns of behavior.

These approaches allow me to work with the client to decrease symptoms of anxiety and depression and other health/behavioral issues.
