Depression is one of the most abundant mental disorders in society. Sometimes it stems from neurotransmitters not working right, but usually, it is because of a set of underlying issues. These issues can be addressed on several fronts, and I can help by addressing the issues from multiple foci along side of you to generate some relief in most cases.

I primarily work with older adults, caregivers and any adult who needs support on life's peaks and valleys.
“There are so many stories more beautiful than answers.” –Mary Oliver.
I love this quote because it hints at the knowledge we all have within ourselves. You have resources and gems of truth waiting to help you heal. Will the process of therapy be what you expected? Maybe. Maybe not. Will a definitive “answer” appear to solve your struggles? Probably not. But Therapy can be a journey to help you uncover your strengths and reveal new ways of relating to a (sometimes) confusing and difficult road. And you’ll have company! Partnership with the right therapist is helpful, comforting and motivating.

I work with individuals, couples and families, many of whom are dealing with life transitions or relationships challenged by complex medical situations, memory loss or chronic disease.
If you're thinking about therapy, most likely this isn't the first time you've felt like life was hard but something brought it to a whole new level of difficulty. Maybe you’re feeling down, worried, frustrated or just "off". When we go through life-changes -- including those we experience later in life and when we live with a disability -- our identity changes and it can take some time and attention to catch up with ourselves. As a social worker, I provide a mix of therapy, education and advocacy to help people regain their grounded-ness and feel successful.

Hope and fear cannot occupy the same place at the same time. Invite one to stay. - Maya Angelou. My areas of expertise include working with men and women individually (I am not a couples therapist) as they navigate through a myriad of challenges such as anxiety, depression, insecurities, uncertainties and how past traumas and learned behaviors can all play a part in the health of their current relationships. Of course this includes their intimate partner relationships but I also have much experience in helping individuals navigate through concerns involving complex adult child/parent relationships.

I believe that the relationship between therapist and client is the vehicle for lasting growth and change. Using a collaborative, integrative approach to treatment, we will work together to determine goals for treatment and then work toward achieving those goals. I believe in accessing and exploiting the strengths you bring to the treatment, as well as understanding how your particular culture and background have impacted your life experience. In addition, I do not believe that psychotherapy can be successful unless it occurs in a safe and supportive environment, which I strive to create and maintain.

Hello, I'm Jenny. I believe therapy can look many different ways and can be effective in various forms. Sometimes we benefit greatly from brief therapeutic episodes that provide education, skill-building, and perspective shifts. Other times, we may benefit from ongoing relational work with a counselor. And sometimes, we find growth in intermittent visits with a clinician. Therapy should ultimately be tailored to your needs, abilities, and goals. I approach client care with warmth, curiosity, empathy, and a bit of humor.

I work with you to define and achieve the life YOU want, whether that is managing symptoms, solving a problem, or simply living a more fulfilling life and being your authentic self. I believe a good therapist, like a good friend, doesn’t just tell you what you want to hear. I challenge my clients to see new perspectives, notice their blind spots, and find new insights. My theoretical orientation draws primarily from humanism and existentialism. I draw techniques from MI, CBT, and DBT. I would describe my style as cognitive-based and intellectual, with no “BS” and a healthy dose of humor!

If you struggle with anxiety, are feeling disconnected from loved ones, or stuck in your life, therapy can help. Maybe you are not finding as much joy in the things you used to love, you are arguing with your partner, or you’ve lost the confidence you once had. There is a way for you to feel more confident, more connected, and to experience greater joy. Together we can identify the patterns that are keeping you from the life you desire, and develop skills that will help you feel better now and create lasting change. I truly believe the most difficult times in life bring opportunity for the most growth.

Sessions with the right therapist provide an opportunity most of us rarely encounter in our day-to-day lives: showing up authentically, whatever that looks like, and having someone bear witness to our presenting experience and challenge. This authenticity is what makes the process of working on ourselves powerful.
Specifically, I am experienced providing support to clients navigating anxiety, depression ("new"/chronic/treatment resistant), grief/loss, chronic illness (cancer diagnosis and treatment) and substance abuse.

Dementia Therapists
Can dementia patients benefit from counseling?
Dementia patients can often benefit significantly from counseling. While neurologists typically treat dementia itself, counselors provide crucial emotional support for patients and their families. Therapists specializing in dementia can help clients navigate aging, end-of-life issues, social isolation, sleep challenges, and grief. They can also assist clients in adapting to the disease by addressing caregiving concerns and supporting family members. Counselors will often also collaborate with a patient's neurologist or other medical providers to manage dementia symptoms and medication needs.
How can you tell if someone has dementia or Alzheimer's?
To determine if someone has dementia or Alzheimer's disease, there are several signs and diagnostic methods that medical professionals use. Early signs of dementia often include memory loss, difficulty with problem-solving, and challenges in completing familiar tasks. Diagnosing dementia or Alzheimer's requires a comprehensive approach, as there is no single definitive test, and initial diagnosis can sometimes be difficult as symptoms tend to worsen progressively over time. To make a diagnosis, medical professionals typically use a combination of methods, including standardized questionnaires and cognitive tests to assess memory, attention, and problem-solving skills, psychiatric evaluations to understand mental health status, brain scans to look for physical changes in the brain, as well as other medical tests to rule out other conditions.
What are the first-line treatment options for Alzheimer’s disease?
There is no cure for Alzheimer's disease, but catching the disease in its early-to-moderate phases can be beneficial in order to initiate first-line treatments to help manage symptoms. Medications such as galantamine, rivastigmine, and donepezil are examples of cholinesterase inhibitors that are commonly prescribed for Alzheimer’s disease. In addition, working with a therapist or social worker can also often help patients with the disease address common behavioral and lifestyle concerns, such as anxiety, depression, irritability, sleep problems, social support, and housing changes.
When to seek treatment for Alzheimer’s?
It’s best to seek treatment at the first signs of Alzheimer's. Early warning signs of Alzheimer’s include memory problems, such as forgetting appointments or directions, as well as trouble concentrating, paying attention, retrieving words, and carrying out daily household tasks. An early diagnosis can help people slow the progression of the disease with medication and plan for the future in terms of housing, social/caregiving support, and finances.
