About Jen

Jen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who takes a client-centered, holistic approach to help her clients navigate and work through personal and relationship challenges such as depression, anxiety, various types of trauma (sexual, betrayal, religious, childhood, etc.), family and relationship dynamics, and exploration of identity, sexuality, and gender. Jen views her clients as the experts of their own lives. She takes an integrated approach to help clients find dignity and worth within themselves in an environment that is non-judgmental, sex-positive, kink-and-poly-informed, and queer-friendly. Jen uses an eclectic approach based on principles of trauma-informed CBT, DBT, IFS/parts work, EFT, attachment theory, mindfulness practice, somatic therapy, and other modalities.
