Wondering where to turn? Need a listening ear that will validate your pain and support you as you move forward? As an experienced therapist, Jennie has worked with those struggling with anxiety, depression, addictions, marriage, relationships, job difficulties, loss, disabilities, ADHD, & those living with personality disorders, addictions or difficult children. She also works in trauma as a certified EMDR(Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing)therapist. It's an evidenced based therapy that allows the individual to let go of the anxiety/pain that stays in the body after a trauma. An option is providing spiritually based therapy.

Accepting new clients! I help people overcome difficulty and use it to grow and pursue a life of meaning and purpose. Sometimes we start by treating stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, career, or LGBTQ+ and other identity issues, and over time turn to deeper issues about the life you want to create, your identity, and your values. I’m a humanistic counselor, which means I’ll never tell you what to do and I’ll always empower you to make the choice that’s best for you. I use a collaborative, gentle approach that helps you connect with your intuitive sense of self and your intrinsic motivation to grow and do difficult things.

My ideal client is experiencing anxiety and depression and has an awareness that they need help and are willing to do "homework" outside of sessions to build the skills they need to "be their own therapist." Their needs are to gain insight into the negative thoughts and core beliefs contributing to their symptoms and to process past traumatic events to gain a more accurate and helpful perspective on the precipitating events and current situation. My ideal client's goals are to decrease their anxiety and depression and be able to experience life in a way that leads to increased self-efficacy and contentment in life.

Are you a young adult dealing primarily with anxiety and life transition issues? This could be a recent college graduate starting their first big job, a major transition. I like walking beside them through these transitions and being an additional support. I also like helping people learn breathing techniques to manage anxiety and learn about polyvagal theory and a bottom-up approach. I enjoy working with clients who can articulate their goals, such as managing anxiety better and working on anxiety in different settings.

Life is full of unexpected changes that can leave us feeling stressed, anxious, and sad.

Whether you're struggling with relationships, dealing with anxiety or depression, coping with past traumas, or looking for a safe space to manage your emotions, I'm here to support you. Together, we can work on finding ways to cope with stress, develop self-awareness, address unresolved issues, and build healthier relationships.
