In a non-judgemental, respectful atmosphere I accompany people along their journey to living richer, more meaningful life. I encourage people to broaden their awareness into their thoughts, feelings, reactions and behaviors to identify strengths and whats working and challenges and how they are getting in the way. Recognizing the the mind-body-spirit connection, understanding healthy and antiquated defenses and increasing capacity for feeling a greater range of emotions at a deeper level is an important focus of the psychotherapy process. Identifying feelings, understanding reactions and learning better, more effective means of communicating with others is integral as well.
I specialize in grief and loss, traumatic death (homicide, suicide and child loss), addictions, alcoholism and 12 step recovery, gay and lesbian relationships, self-esteem, depression and anxiety. My extensive psychotherapy training with Washington School of Psychiatry, Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy & Psychoanalysis, and Institute for Trauma Healing informs my work.
"Jen is an authentic, compassionate and respectful person who takes a genuine interest in this life...be it yours or mine".
