About Jenny
My Style
Hello! I hope that we get to meet soon. I see therapy as a conversation with some special quirks, where my role is to remain curious and listen while guiding the focus of our exploration. I challenge clients by asking “are you willing to go there?,” offering support along the way, and ensuring a soft place to land when it is time to take a step back. While therapy and transformation are often hard work, I believe there should also be moments of respite. I blend genuineness and warmth with humor and irreverence in therapy sessions. I find that the most inspiring, insightful, and healing moments happen in interactions with clients and through the meaning that we develop together.
My Approach
I don’t believe there is a one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to therapy. With my clients, I utilize a person-centered, strengths-based approach grounded in a respect for all individuals. Together, we determine the focus for therapy based on your goals and priorities. I’m fortunate to have trained in a variety of treatment modalities and find it most successful to dialogue with my clients and decide what approach to take together. Some things we can try are:
- Interpersonal therapy
- Psychodynamic psychotherapy
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
- Mindfulness Practices
- Integrative Treatment of Complex Trauma
- Family Systems Therapy
- Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) Skills
