About me

I am licensed in Iowa with 3 years of professional work experience as a Mental Health therapist. Prior to my work as a therapist, I have experience working with behavioral issues, hospice, autism and inpatient psychiatric clients. I have been trained in EMDR, DBT, TR-CBT, Polyvagal Theory, Parts Work, Somatic Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, coping with grief and loss, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence.
The therapeutic relationship is very important to me as I believe that the space between us is where we can explore all the things that need to be explored. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

Jenna always understands what I need during my sessions and is always looking for information to send to me. She is thoughtful and kind and always willing to go the extra mile for me. I really appreciate what she does for me.

Made me feel comfortable from the start- got me out of my comfort zone in a good way that is helping me grow and learn a lot about myself and the situations I go through in life.

Jenna makes me feel very comfortable to talk to her about things that are bothering me. She has been great at listening and helping me with my emotions and feelings, and giving me new coping skills that help me with the struggles that I am having. I feel very confident in her knowledge. Sometimes it’s hard to think about where I was when I first started meeting with her and where I am now. It’s like the difference between night and day. I owe this change to her positive and supportive interactions.
