Together we can uncover and support what makes sense about unwanted behaviors and find the important impulse living beneath. I believe we each have wisdom inside us that often gets covered over with protective strategies, like the sun behind the clouds. I work with individuals and couples to facilitate reconnecting you to your own heart and each other’s.

I believe we could all use a trusted counselor to help us live our best lives. I have great respect for anyone seeking therapy as it takes courage and a leap of faith to invest in and get this kind of support. I know from my own experience that with the right fit the payoff is profound, it can bring benefit not only for ourselves, but to all of our relationships.
Working With Jenna
“I’ve been working regularly with Jenna for over a year now. Together, we’ve been able to forge a rather amazing and unexpected healing collaboration. And that is how I would best describe our dynamic – a collaborative, healing, learning (and unlearning), growing space. I have never felt such a level of support, trust, and partnership in my own healing journey. Sessions can be emotionally intense or light hearted but always with insight and tools to apply in daily living. Jenna meets me exactly where I am without pretense or agenda. Under Jenna’s patient and kind guidance, I’ve been able to unravel old conditioning and integrate trauma into my deeper self so that its housed in the past and this now allows a loosening of its incessant grip on my nervous system. As a result, I’m able to connect more deeply to my true self and still honor my inner child. Jenna has witnessed me in many states of being and she continues to be an invaluable resource in my life. While this inner work is never really done, thank you Jenna, and here’s to many more years of collaboration!”

“I love working with Jenna over the past 6 months….
Therapy is costly, but she is great about being flexible with schedule (sometimes taking a break for a week or more) and working with me for best results with our therapy program. The body centered work she does with me, meets me really well. She is very present, open and expansive and I feel understood and met in all our sessions—which is amazing! Every session feels successful and productive in that I have noticed results from our work within a few weeks and am really digging in after just a few months. I am experiencing more clarity in my life. I understand my boundaries better and am able to express them with more confidence and so also live more in my preferences and what I want to bring more into my life. This is so empowering! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for more embodied work. Thank you Jenna!”
