Jen works with adult clients to support mental health goals, such as decreasing struggles with anxiety, depression, self worth and life’s transitions. She specializes in the treatment of trauma, eating disorders, and first responders/law enforcement. She has extensive experience working in different mental health settings, including Inpatient, Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), and Outpatient levels of care. Jen is passionate about supporting clients as they identify and work toward increasing their capacity to tolerate life’s challenges.

Jen uses a blend of therapeutic modalities in her work, recognizing the importance of each individual’s needs.  She integrates various approaches to offer a highly personalized experience for each client, including interventions rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), with a focus on the body.  Jen continues to expand her knowledge and is currently working toward completion of the three year Somatic Experiencing® trauma training, a body-oriented approach that supports the resolution of trauma and its symptoms with a goal of experiencing more regulation within your nervous system.  

Jen supports clients in noticing the connections between mind and body, allowing for opportunities to interrupt familiar and unwanted patterns.  She will help to explore lifestyle choices, personal beliefs, and identify patterns which create challenges and lead to chronic stress and overwhelm.  Jen guides with compassion, understanding, acceptance, and accountability.  She is an active participant in every session, holding space for emotions, beliefs, and experiences without judgment, as you gain resilience to navigate through life with greater insight and understanding.
