" As a pan/ lesbian person, I come from a place of non-judgement, open mindedness, and kindness.
What dreams do you want to manifest? What does your inner child want you to know? What parts of yourself want to be awakened? The prolonged impacts of trauma can feel like looking into a distorted mirror and wondering, "Who am I?" Wherever you are in life, I meet you with guidance to empower you to reject a false self so that your true self is accepted. Accepting yourself may mean accepting your feelings, identity, perspective, values, and authentic inner nature! I believe you have the power within to manifest changes in your unique reality. I primarily work with LGBTQ+ people, trauma survivors, children, youth, and young adults.

If you are struggling with mental health, situational or adjustment concerns and have not been able to manage without assistance from a professional like me, it is time to reach out. Why are you making life harder? My theory is that we most often already have the solutions to our problems within us, but may need an objective person (like a therapist) to identify how our own strengths can be used as a vehicle to resolution.

You want to feel securely connected to your people, but it's just not that simple. Your relationships feel tense, chaotic, strained, or unfulfilling. The same conflicts replay over and over. It's hard to open up, trust, and rely on others. It may be hard to even imagine relationships that meet your needs for intimacy, connection, and community. You may feel emotionally shut down or out of control, isolated, lonely, and resentful. But you dream of relationships where you feel deeply connected and loved, a life you share with your important others. Getting from here to there may feel like a mystery, but I can help.

Everyone struggles with something; it is part of the human experience. Every client comes from different backgrounds, has different needs and has different ways they respond to events. Knowing this, my goal is to meet you where you are at, making an effort to deeply understand where you are coming from. It can be scary to reach out and be vulnerable; be proud of yourself for taking this step!

Hi all, my name is Jenna :) I am a proponent of radical acceptance, and of learning to see the beauty in the ordinary of our lives as pathways toward healing. It has been through my own suffering that I found my way to this path, and through the peace that I’ve attained that I’ve felt called to guide others as they navigate this path for themselves. My pedagogy is healing-centered and my praxis is of reciprocity and reverence for the sacred nature of the vulnerability that this work requires of both of us. It is my intention to cultivate an environment of safety and respect, free of judgement, and full of support and compassion.

Due to telehealth, I can take clients from anywhere in Michigan. I enjoy working with clients who are up for a little work and challenge. I have a strong belief in the idea that therapy isn't something that is done to us, but rather something we must take an active role in to see any true progress. I view therapy as another way to add more tools to our toolbox in an effort to better ourselves. My goal is that by working together, you will learn things in a manner that allows you to function at your best regardless of what life throws at you.

As someone who was late diagnosed with ADHD, I get how exhausting it is to feel like you’re constantly trying to keep it all together. I specialize in working with women who are juggling emotional ups and downs, perfectionism, and the lasting impact of childhood trauma and narcissistic abuse. My approach uses EMDR to help process the heavy stuff—old wounds, messy feelings, and stuck patterns. This is a space where you can put down the mask, explore what’s really going on, and start finding your way back to yourself with compassion and support.
