I am licensed in Arizona and Wisconsin with 7 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, lgbt-related issues, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, & career difficulties. I use an eclectic approach to therapy to fit your needs rather than try and fit you into a given type of therapy. I am not the kind of therapist who will hand you packets in order to teach you skills (unless you really want them). Instead, I will help you identify coping skills you are already likely to use. I offer a kind, caring, and non-judgmental environment to help you meet your goals.

I am a marriage and family therapist with 9 years of experience counseling a wide range of clients. I have worked with clients on grief and loss, depression and anxiety as well as substance abuse concerns. I take a warm approach with clients and use a client centered approach to therapy. I have been trained in cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy and approach the sessions in a collaborative manner always working together with people I am working with. I respect that you took this step to seek out a listening ear and I look forward to working together with you on this journey. I was born in New York and as a young child my family moved out to Los Angeles and I have been here ever since. Growing up I was always fascinated by the field of psychology and when I was going for my Bachelors Degree I therefore choose to major in psychology. I attended Touro College Los Angeles for my Bachelors degree and then pursued my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy through Touro University Worldwide. When working with clients I take a warm and empathetic approach and really try to hear what the client is saying. Therapy can be very rewarding but it is often challenging to talk about the difficulties that we face. In session I strive to create a supportive and safe space where we can work together mindfully and without judgement to increase wellness. Thank you for taking the time to look over my profile. I look forward to working together!

Creating a safe space where clients can feel comfortable is the top priority for me in my practice. It can feel overwhelming to share your challenges and struggles with someone you've just met. When we start working together, we will begin by building a comfortable therapeutic relationship. For some people, that may only take a session or two, and for others we will take a little more time to get there. We will go at a pace that feels comfortable for you. As we get to know each other, we will also work together to begin to stretch your comfort zone little by little, in order to help you make progress toward your goals. I graduated from Eastern Washington University in 2008 with Master's Degree in Social Work. I immediately went into advocacy work supporting survivors of domestic violence and sexual trauma in a variety of settings. I have worked as an advocate helping survivors navigate the court system, in shelters, and worked in supervisory and senior leadership positions to develop survivor support programs in DV/SV advocacy agencies. In 2018, I took my advocacy skills and applied them to the mental health field. Now, as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I work with individuals with a history of trauma, anxiety, and depression. I work primarily with adults, using a psychodynamic approach. Basically, this means that we will have conversations and dive a little deeper into the patterns that come up to help you better understand yourself. I also use techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma informed care, motivational interviewing, and dialectical behavioral therapy. Each person is unique, and I have found that drawing from various techniques makes for an individualized experience that is tailored to your specific needs.

I am a LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with a certification in trauma (CCTP-Certified Clinical Trauma Professional), and I practice in Nevada & Arizona. Over the past 18 years, I have had multiple experiences in the field of Health & Human Services. I have served in roles such as a Day Treatment Teacher to severe emotionally disturbed children and their families. I have also provided supports as a case manager in early intervention (birth to 3 years) as well as those who have intellectual disability (and related conditions). In the recent years I have provided clinical/behavioral consultation to individuals, families, and community group home providers. In addition, I provide psychotherapy (as well as clinical assessment) to those who struggle with depression/anxiety/disassociation/schizophrenia/schizoaffective/bipolar. My approach in working with individuals comes from a place of compassion, and attentiveness towards what my clients are communicating. It is my strongest desire to ensure that you feel supported as we work through challenges with effective problem solving. I like to take the approach of viewing the person in a holistic manner as there are many parts to a person which makes them whole. I assess each persons needs and develop treatment plans that may use multiple treatment modalities rather than trying to fit someone one's needs into one treatment modality. In addition, my preference would be to engage live video conferencing rather than majority of contact through messaging as I find video sessions more engaging in working with individuals. I hope I have the pleasure of working with you, and express my gratitude in advance. So let's divide & conquer together!

Welcome, and thank you for viewing my profile! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in both California and Nevada with 13 years of experience helping people overcome the effects of trauma, overcome anxiety and chronic stress, and how to assimilate the challenges brought on by grief and life transitions. I hold a Master of Arts in Psychology (2011) from Brandman University, and Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice with a Minor in Music from California State University, Sacramento (2004). The majority of my clinical experience has been working with trauma survivors, including survivors of violent crime, domestic violence and child abuse. I have worked as a therapist in private practice, government agencies, and community non-profit clinics. I have also worked in the social service fields as an Employment Services Social Worker, a Child Protective Services Social Worker, and a Foster Family Agency Social Worker. All of these experiences have shaped my approach to working with individuals of diverse life circumstances, and those experiences have given me a profound respect for the challenges that humans face on a daily basis while also providing inspiration as to the resilience of the human spirit. When working with my clients, I use imagery, metaphor, and humor to help them understand and internalize concepts that help them regain control over their lives. Clients often say they appreciate my ability to be "real" with them while also being sensitive, empathetic, and professional. I feel it is important to create a safe space for my clients to openly and honestly share their experiences, no matter the topic, and I encourage any and all questions you might have. I also understand that my clients are relying on me for equally open and honest feedback, and I provide that in a gentle yet meaningful and actionable way. I also believe it is essential that my clients have a clear understanding of how our process works, and to that end and as much as humanly possible, I make sure they always know what to expect from our professional relationship. I very much enjoy working with highly-motivated individuals looking to take charge of their future while healing their past. Let's make a plan about how we can get you from where you are to where you want to be! I look forward to meeting you soon! Warmly, Jen
