Do you find yourself feeling sad, lonely, depressed, anxious and isolated? Do you find yourself asking "how did I get here in my life?" The truth is we all ask ourselves this question in different ways. My goal is too help you find your way back to a life that you enjoy. After major life changes, some we created, and others that we could not control, we are left to pick up the pieces of our lives and put our lives back together again. However, the pieces never quite fit back together in the same way. The picture looks different. The experience feels different.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults that are experiencing depression, anxiety, overwhelming moods, executive functioning difficulties, relationship stress and conflict (including parenting), and general issues with navigating a world that doesn’t seem to be structured with everyone in mind.

Hi, I'm Jen. I'm a clinical social worker who has worked with children, adolescents and parents for twenty years. My goal in each session is to make my patients feel comfortable and identify their feelings. Each session begins with an emotional check-in and an update of what has happened in life since the last session. From there, together we can determine what the specific goal of the session will be, or continue to expand on skills and strategies introduced earlier. I believe in the need to be flexible depending on what the needs are in the moment of the patient. I craft a judgment free zone to help people be their best self.

Whether you have been to therapy before or are making the leap to explore yourself for the first time, starting therapy can be intimidating. Maybe you feel that despite your best attempts at putting the puzzle pieces of your life/situation together, you still can't seem to find peace. Maybe you don't know where to even start. We can't evade having emotional experiences, so learning to not only cope, but embrace our emotions is an invaluable skill.

I have over 30 years experience working as a psychotherapist with a great variety of people who have come to me for help. My style is conversational, engaging and direct - I prefer a humane rather than a clinical approach and I actively participate in creating our work together. I love to help people develop emotionally and be able to make creative changes and meet challenges in their lives. My experience has been that people frequently discover, in their work with me, that they have more resources with which to build their lives than they had previously imagined.

My aim is to provide a space that allows you to feel safe, comfortable, and open. Together, we will uncover what is preventing you from reaching fulfillment in your life. More importantly, we will develop strategies to ensure you feel equipped to manage your distress.

Psychotherapy, to me, is about getting to know and accept yourself, gaining an understanding of how you relate to yourself and the world around you, learning better ways to manage emotions and healing past traumas in order to live your happiest, healthiest life. I use a combination of traditional talk therapy and various expressive modalities to help clients reach their healing goals.

The decision to begin therapy can be challenging and can follow attempts to manage difficult life circumstances independently. I believe that healing begins when there is a safe, non judgmental space to grow a therapeutic relationship. I spent the early part of my career working extensively with adolescents and families which allowed me the opportunity to help them work through their trauma as they struggled with grief and loss, anxiety, self-injury, depression and PTSD. Additionally, I spent almost 7 years in an outpatient clinic as an Administrator, also providing clinical counseling to children, adults and families.

Visit my website (link on menu)! Accepting new clients! In my 15 years of clinical experience I’ve learned that much of the dysfunction, frustration, depression and uncomfortable moments in life are a result of trauma. Big ones, little ones… we are a product of our lived experiences. Some of those lived experiences left us with lasting consequences. Utilizing a comprehensive, but EMDR based approach, we can partner on a recovery journey which is evidence based proven to be effective in these circumstances. I also work with couples and take a diverse approach at treatment - including couples therapy and EMDR when appropriate.
