Hi There.

I’m Jen.

I’m a Mom, a veteran and a Divorceé.

The experiences I’ve had, both good and bad, have taught me about the beauty and struggle of living, but also about the resiliency of humans.

With a little help and connection, I believe we are all capable of fulfillment and joy.

I offer an authentic, compassionate and collaboartive approach to therapy, but I’m not afraid to offer a gentle challenge when needed.

I’d be honored to help you on your journey.
