Meet Jen

I am a licensed therapist who specializes in treating anxiety, trauma, and depression. I believe your experience in therapy should be safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental. I strive to make my office a compassionate, welcoming environment that promotes growth, self-exploration, and healing. My clinical approach is warm, empathetic, and collaborative. I customize treatment to each individual, as I believe each person comes to therapy with their own unique strengths, experiences, and needs. I routinely ask for feedback to ensure you are getting the most out of your time in therapy.

I strive to make my office a compassionate, welcoming environment that promotes growth, self-exploration, and healing.
