About me

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsatisfied? Perhaps you are ready to make changes in your life, seeking a new direction, or are ready to embark on a new journey. Whether you are grieving a loss, experiencing the effects of traumatic events, or have been exposed to conflicts in your relationships, I want to hear your story. I welcome you to bring your grief, infidelity, and questions or concerns surrounding sex and relationships into our space. Together we can build a collaborative relationship that will inspire you to take control of your story and empower you to narrate your future.

Sometimes life places us in circumstances that feel embarrassing or shameful. Working together in a safe, therapeutic, and nonjudgemental atmosphere will be an essential part of our relationship. I strive to create a safe, open environment where you can feel comfortable talking about the difficult places you have been.

I am also passionate and have experience working with minorities and members of the LGBTQ+ community. I provide comprehensive services for those exploring gender identity and those on the path to transition and beyond.

Jenny is amazing! She is thoughtful, kind, and knowledgeable. She has really been able to give me perspective on things and always has multiple solutions to offer to any problem I have. If she doesn't have a solution that works for me, she will find one! She's the best!

I can already tell that Jenny is going to be better than other therapists I have tried -- she is on top of things and asks the right questions to make you see things from another perspective. She also manages expectations by asking what your expectations are from therapy sessions....this is incredibly refreshing. During chaotic times, it is really important to feel like your counselor has a thought-out plan and you are not floating in space and opening up without a purpose or reason. She is wonderful on the phone and over messages.
