I hold advance practice certificates as a Clinical Trauma Professional and a Clinical
ADHD
Services Provider.
Emotions can be complex and confusing, especially distressing emotions like anxiety, anger, grief, sadness, jealousy, and fear. Understanding and effectively regulating emotions requires a safe space for exploration, curiosity, and awareness. When you work with me, you work with someone who is committed to creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental therapeutic connection where you can choose to be fully emotionally, physically, and mentally vulnerable.

I'm Jen! I am a queer, neurodivergent (
ADHD
) therapist. I find that to be important information because my experiences as a human have formed the lens that I work through. The world is not built for people like me (and you, maybe) so creating a safe place to grow authentically is my priority for my clients. I am sex/kink affirming, sex-work positive, cannabis friendly, gender affirming, and neurodivergent friendly. Our time together is non-judgmental and framed around you finding your worth as a human for merely existing.

Hi there! I am a licensed mental health counselor. I specialize in helping individuals cope with the hardships of everyday life. My passion has always been helping people.

Being able to make a difference in the way my clients view themselves and the world around them is the most rewarding part of what I do. Psychology and, more importantly, being a therapist is what I love and helping people improve their mental health is why I love it. Sending me an email is the best way to contact me!

We work with depression, anxiety, bipolar, PTSD, eating disorders, bereavement, borderline, autism,
ADHD
, addiction, sexual abuse, DV, medical illnesses, relationship problems, LGTBQ+, adjustment disorders and forensic cases.
Footprints was started by a therapist who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities where confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Feel Better Therapy began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.

When should I seek treatment for ADHD?
You should seek treatment for ADHD if you consistently have difficulty with attention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity that interferes with your daily life. Symptoms of ADHD include the inability to sustain attention during tasks, difficulty organizing tasks and activities, being easily distracted, frequent fidgeting or squirming, and talking or interrupting excessively. If these symptoms interfere with your career, academics, or relationships—for example, consistently failing to complete professional projects on time—you should seek an evaluation for ADHD.
How does treatment for ADHD work?
Effective treatment for ADHD often consists of medication, behavioral therapy, and lifestyle changes. Stimulant medications such as Adderall and Ritalin work by altering levels of neurotransmitters in the brain; higher levels of dopamine and norepinephrine are known to improve attention and focus. Therapy works by helping people with ADHD understand the condition, discuss their areas of difficulty, and develop behavioral strategies to manage their symptoms. In some cases, modifying one’s diet and exercise can also help improve symptoms.
Are there specific medications for ADHD?
Medications to treat ADHD are generally stimulants, the most common are Adderall and Ritalin. There are two categories of stimulants: Amphetamines include Adderall, Dyanavel, Vyvanse, and Dexedrine, and methylphenidates include Ritalin, Concerta, Daytrana, Focalin, Quillichew, Quillivant, and Metadate. Non-stimulants and antidepressants may be used as an alternative if stimulants aren’t effective or viable for a particular patient.
How long does treatment for ADHD take?
It’s tough to give an exact time frame because everyone varies. In terms of medications, stimulants begin to work very soon after you take them, generally within the hour. It may take time to identify the right medication and dosage, but the medication itself is fast-acting. In terms of therapy, it takes time to develop skills and put them into practice, but you will likely see improvements within a few weeks or months.
