I am deeply passionate about helping clients navigate life’s challenges from anxiety, depression, ADHD symptoms, social and emotional concerns, to everyday stressors. It can be overwhelming to navigate your mental health alone and my goal is to provide a space where you feel seen, supported, and understood from the very first session. I enjoy working with a variety of clients from teens to older adults. I bring a deep psychology background to my work and enjoy utilizing a variety of interventions in practice.

Are you tired of the same arguments that never end? Do you feel more like roommates than husband and wife? Maybe the spark has faded, and you’re just co-parenting, surviving, or walking on eggshells. You love each other—but the connection feels out of reach.

I have experience in Pastoral Care/Counseling/Chaplain work in the Christian faith.
It’s amazing how different life can look when we shift our focus. A fresh perspective and a change of perception can go a long way for old habits and patterns of thinking. Renewing our minds is transformative! Whether this a tough season for you or you feel like you’ve been in the wilderness all of your life, change can happen. Truth be told, counseling is hard work. Showing up for yourself is hard and confronting areas you need to change is hard. Staying the same is hard…to all of that, we do our best to "choose our hard"! You don't have to do this alone! Relationship concerns? Anxiety? Depression? Divorce, etc? All of the above?

It takes a lot of courage to seek help when things aren’t going well. I understand. You want to talk with someone who can help you work through a challenging time with compassion, skill and respect - someone you can trust.

Hi there! I am so glad that you are here and considering therapy. As someone who was raised in a culture where mental health was not widely discussed, I understand firsthand the power of being able to openly share your thoughts without fear of judgment or scrutiny. With that being said, I also understand how intimidating it can be to attend therapy, especially for the first time. My goal as a therapist is to meet my clients where they are and create a safe and warm environment in which my clients can explore their authentic selves.

My approach is a great fit for teens and women who want to have a place where they can be completely real, to unpack whatever they need to, and feel accepted by someone who truly believes things will get better. Many of my Clients have lived through serious betrayal and felt confused, absent, or unhinged by what happened. Then they come to therapy because they’ve been living “at a 10” and want hope that they don’t have to be this mad, this triggered, or this impacted anymore. I help Clients understand why this is happening and how to move forward in a way that feels strong and sure.

Are you experiencing crippling anxiety, stress, or discouragement in day to day life? Are you burned out from a job or role that used to give you fulfillment? Are you feeling like your emotions control you and hurt those closest to you? Do you struggle to keep up with the needs of those who rely on you at work or in your spiritual community? Are you a teen experiencing overwhelming pressure and painful emotions, struggling to find a solid sense of identity?

Hi, I'm Jenise. I’ve been a therapist for over 20 years and work with preteens, teens, and adults. One of my strengths is my ability to genuinely connect with the people I work with. I feel fortunate to be in a field I care deeply about and can’t imagine doing anything else.
Your trauma, your history, your struggles, or your mental health challenges do not define you. You don’t have to face them alone.

Becoming a therapist was never on my list of 'things I want to be when I grow up.' It wasn’t until I needed to sit down and talk to someone that I realized what I truly wanted to do with my life. As a naturally empathetic person, I wanted to learn how to help people heal emotionally and mentally. At NOCD, my team and I provide personalized and effective specialized treatment for OCD and related conditions, such as BFRBs (including skin-picking, nail-biting, and hair-pulling). Our understanding of the nuances of these conditions enables us to diagnose and treat them properly.
