Therapy for people who are ready to understand themselves more deeply and create meaningful change.
If you are navigating stress, trauma, chronic health concerns, or feeling disconnected from yourself or your body, therapy can be a place to slow down, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and discover new ways of moving forward.
I believe therapy works best when it is collaborative, honest, and grounded in your real-life experiences. While the work can be challenging, it can also be engaging, educational, and even enjoyable as you build greater understanding, confidence, and lasting change.
“An abnormal reaction to an abnormal situation is normal behavior.”
— Viktor Frankl, Man’s Search for Meaning

What It’s Like to Work With Me
→
Therapy that feels collaborative and thoughtful.
Jenny believes the best therapy happens when clients feel comfortable asking questions, sharing feedback, and working together to better understand what is happening beneath the surface. Sessions balance warmth, curiosity, education, and honest conversations.
→
More than insight alone.
Understanding why something is happening is important, but lasting change also comes from learning practical ways to respond differently. Jenny helps clients connect insight with real-life strategies they can use between sessions.
→
Learning skills that last.
Clients often leave therapy with a deeper understanding of themselves, greater confidence in managing life’s challenges, and practical tools they can continue using well beyond the therapy room.

Niche & Ideal Client
Jenny has a particular interest in working with people navigating complex trauma, chronic illness or pain, and the connection between physical and emotional health. Her background in health psychology and work within the Veterans Affairs medical system has given her extensive experience helping individuals understand how stress, trauma, and physical health often influence one another.
She especially enjoys working with thoughtful, curious adults who want to better understand themselves rather than simply “get rid” of symptoms. Many of her clients appreciate approaching therapy with what Jenny calls a scientist mindset—a willingness to experiment, notice patterns, discover what works, and make thoughtful adjustments over time.
Jenny also has a particular strength in working with men and enjoys helping clients who may not have always felt comfortable talking openly about mental health.
Please note that Jenny is not able to provide services to Veterans outside of the VA system.
