Hi, I’m Jen. A former NYC public school teacher, a special education school social worker, and a mom of three. I specialize in creating a space where children, teens, adults, and families can show up as they are (no masks, no judgment) as we navigate life’s ups and downs, big transitions, and challenging moments.

Together, we’ll create space for your child to feel understood, your teen to build confidence and calm, your family to strengthen connection, and for you to feel supported every step of the way.

Life can feel overwhelming, you don't have to go through it alone. We’ll take it one step at a time, helping you feel capable and more certain about the path ahead.
