About Me

Hi, I’m Jenna — a person-centered therapist who believes that healing begins with connection. My approach is grounded in the belief that a positive, trusting therapeutic relationship is the foundation for meaningful growth and change. I often say that there are many ways up the mountain, and sometimes our work together involves rerouting — and that’s okay. Every journey is unique, and my role is to walk beside you as you find your way forward.

I have experience working with a wide range of concerns, including trauma, grief, disability, postpartum depression and anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, parenting, OCD, and Autism. I’m passionate about helping you make sense of your symptoms — not just to manage them, but to understand where they come from and how to work with them in ways that support your overall well-being.

I draw from a variety of tools, including CBT, DBT, EMDR, parts work, trauma-focused therapy, and traditional talk therapy. These are valuable methods, but I don’t believe that techniques alone create transformation. Instead, I focus on cultivating safety, curiosity, and collaboration so that you can explore what truly matters to you.

I use a blend of person-centered and reality/choice theory approaches, which means I believe in both deep understanding and practical change — helping you reconnect with your sense of choice, agency, and self-worth.

Above all, I want our space to feel like one where you can exhale — a space where you can bring what you need, be seen without judgment, and know that showing up, in itself, is something to be proud of. Because often, showing up is the hardest and bravest part. I look forward to working with you.
