Hi there, I'm Jenna!

I support children, adolescents, and families in overcoming conflict, fostering self-esteem, and navigating the unique experiences within the LGBTQ community. My work centers on creating affirming spaces where young people and their families can heal, grow, and build stronger connections.

My focus

I work with children, teens, parents, and families navigating LGBTQ+ identity, self-esteem, conflict, trauma, anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, and relational difficulties. I create an affirming space where clients feel safe and understood, using EMDR, TF-CBT, and family-focused therapies.

My approach

I use a client-centered approach, adapting interventions to meet each client's unique needs. I incorporate EMDR to help process trauma and reduce distress, blending it with Trauma-Focused CBT to strengthen coping skills and resilience. With younger clients, sand play and play therapy offer expressive ways to explore emotions.
