Jen is a telehealth therapist who loves to help empower and support high school, college age, and young adult women. In session, she will encourage you to be your most authentic self, approaching therapy through a trauma-informed holistic lens. As an integrative therapist, Jen tailors her therapeutic approach to client needs, often pulling from narrative therapy, CBT, psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness, and somatics. Professionally she has experience in crisis counseling, trauma therapy, various personality disorders, PTSD and C-PTSD, dissociative identity disorder, working with the LGBTQIA+ community, and co-occurring mental health disorders. She also welcomes working with adoption and identity conflicts related to adoption, disordered eating, emotionally and physically abusive relational dynamics, boundaries and healthy relationships, and life transitions. Jen is a person who stutters, and has been a coach and mentor for others who stutter for twenty years. Jen loves working with others who stutter in therapy, as so much of stuttering is psychological and emotional. Jen holds a masters degree in counseling for mental health and wellness from New York University, a masters in public policy and global health from Northwestern University, masters level course work in anti-human trafficking and exploitation, victimology, and forensic psychology, and a bachelor of science degree in psychology, social science broad field, and business administration. She is an active member of the International Positive Psychology Association, the American Counseling Association, and is currently training through The Beck Institute to become a CBT Certified Clinician. Her biggest dream is to one day have a global therapy practice where she can work cross culturally with clients of all backgrounds, preferably in a relaxing seaside space. Jen believes that you are the expert in your lived experience, and that you have limitless potential. She is looking forward to walking alongside you in your therapy journey.
