About me
Do you struggle with feeling like you belong? Are you searching for ways to create support and care in your life? My name is Jen (she/her), and I am passionate about my LGBTQ+ community. My therapeutic approach is affirmative and anti-oppressive, and I aspire to provide compassionate, strength-based, mindfulness-based, and trauma-informed practice. I specialize in working with adults on challenges around communication and relational issues, estrangement, relational or family trauma, religious trauma, identity development, life transitions, aging, grief and loss, shame and guilt, anxiety, stress, and depression.
I seek to create mutual trust using an attachment lens, and I reach for mindfulness tools to help us feel safer in our bodies and the moment. I am inspired by trauma-focused care, Internal Family Systems and parts work, somatic interventions, cognitive behavioral models like MBCT, DBT, RODBT, and ACT, and EMDR.
I work with clients who want to better understand their experiences and needs, so that they can more fully inhabit their lives and achieve their personal goals. Together, we will attend deeply to what arises, and tap into your innate wisdom, strength, and care for yourself- it really is in there! I have daytime and evening appointments available. Reach out to schedule a free consultation!
Jen is under the supervision of Stephanie Ordon, LCSW (#CSW007239)
