I am a licensed professional counselor in Connecticut. I have a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling as well as a Master’s in Teaching, with a focus in English. I have worked, counseled, and taught at the high school, college, and adult levels for the last 15 years, including working and volunteering here in CT as well as in Guatemala and Guyana. I studied for a semester during undergraduate school at Richmond, the American International University in London, England as well as visited Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland during graduate school to complete a course in Multicultural Counseling. I was an ADA coordinator at the college level for 9 years and I served as President of the Connecticut Association on Higher Education and Disability for 2 years. I also minored in Women’s Studies as well as created and taught an undergraduate course entitled, “Sex and Gender across Cultures." My theoretical orientations include: Person-Centered, in which sessions are less authoritative and the therapist acts as a guiding facilitator to assist the client in arriving at solutions and insights; Solution-Focused, in which the sessions are future-oriented and allow the client to focus on solutions and resolutions; and, Existential, in which the sessions are led under the the assumption that there are certain universalities in the human experience and every person has the freedom and responsibility to make meaning in life by way of expression, creativity, and moving into our authentic selves. I have experience working with young adults and adults who are struggling with relationship conflict, workplace conflict, life transitions, boundary-setting with family members and/or friends, body image issues, social media issues, relationship with money, relationship with the world-at-large, time organization, career goals and planning, navigating the world with a disability, ecological grief, commitment issues, seasonal affective disorder, interpersonal issues, spirituality development, and accessing inner creativity and authenticity.

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
