About Jenna
Her style is warm, understanding, and collaborative. She treats each person as the expert on their life and works alongside them to set realistic goals. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings to feel more steady and capable.
Jenna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She draws on cognitive behavioral concepts and acceptance-focused strategies, and she includes mindfulness practices when helpful. This combination is used to address symptoms, habits, and the day-to-day problems that get in the way of well-being.
She has experience supporting neurodiverse people, including those with autism and ADHD, and she works with LGBTQAI+ clients. She also assists with caregiving stress, adoption and foster care concerns, obsessive-compulsive patterns, phobias, and issues that can follow traumatic brain injury.
People who choose Jenna can expect a practical, goal-oriented approach that still honors each person’s values and identity. She emphasizes collaboration, clear steps, and adjusting methods to fit individual needs and life demands.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Her practice blends straightforward cognitive behavioral ideas with acceptance-focused strategies. Cognitive behavioral approaches help people notice the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and try small experiments to change them, which can reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and tackle compulsive habits. Acceptance-focused methods teach skills to relate differently to difficult feelings and to act in line with personal values, which is useful for stress, depression, and identity-related concerns.Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to identify goals, test approaches, and adjust tools based on what actually helps. That process is shared and goal-oriented rather than one-size-fits-all.
Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling and fewer transitions around appointments, which helps fit sessions into busy family and work routines. Online sessions may also make it simpler to continue care when life circumstances change. Because session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking so you know what will work best for your needs.
