I specialize in mood disorders and anxiety. I've published five books--Undoing Depression is probably the most familiar---on depression, stress, and happiness, My latest, "Rewire," was released August 2014, and I'm working on a new book about self-destructive behavior. My approach is basically psychodynamic, with a lot of CBT and mindfulness. I believe that anyone can change--the brain can literally be rewired--but it takes a lot of patience and practice. Most of the people I meet have been battered around by life, and it's left scars--difficulty hoping, difficulty trusting. It's my job to mobilize that hope and trust.

As a clinical counselor my primary focus lies in promoting comprehensive mental health and well-being, while assisting adult individuals who are grappling with stress, burnout, anxiety, and grief & loss.

Experiences of overwhelm, hardship, and imperfections are inevitable aspects of life, and too, they have beautiful qualities. They create atmospheres to understand imbalances and what is essential more deeply, both in ourselves and all those around us. When viewed as entry points to insight and peace, we can begin to feel some relief and sense of possibility. Rather than hindrances, we begin to see stepping stones on a path to greater awareness, healing, stability of mind amidst changing life conditions, compassion for our suffering and that of others, and joy.

Having worked as a counselor with children, adolescents, young adults and parents for over 14 years, I help each client identify the barriers in their life, and collaboratively work together to help them find strength within and new strategies in everyday life to enhance overall wellbeing. While I see clients of all ages with a range of issues and concerns, I primarily specialize in the 6-25 year old age range. My clients want to find joy, enhance self-concept and self-esteem, work towards achievable goals in varying areas of their lives, and experience relief from problematic patterns or experiences.

My name is Jen. I come to you not just with education but life experience. Experience that has taught me that everything is connected. Experiences, thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It's all connected. Sometimes we find ourselves stuck in negativity, despair, and fear. We get tired of the hamster wheel we call life. What is the point? There is so much that is out of our control. Yet, I can tell you that in the storm, there is light. A light that can bring acceptance, hope, and peace. You have within you the ability to challenge that which you thought was hopeless and change how you respond to your circumstances.

I specialize in treating individuals & couples with depression, anxiety, sexual health & relationship issues, trauma, and other life challenges. Although it can be difficult to take the leap into mental health treatment, I believe doing so can contribute immeasurably to anyone’s well-being. The current stress and uncertainty of day to day life make this especially true. I strongly believe all individuals are capable of personal growth, overcoming struggles, and bettering their lives.

Life is hard and even downright frustrating at times. Everybody faces challenges in life but you don't have to go through them alone. It is OK to get some help while going through life. The first step to overcoming, breaking through, recovering and succeeding starts with the first phone call to come see me. Know your worth! Be brave enough to break the stigma we face surrounding counseling and therapy. I work hard to create a very safe space - no judging, no shaming - where you can be free to share what it is you might be struggling to conquer. Together we can get through it!

Real and lasting change starts with getting help seeing the problem clearly. I help people who are feeling stuck or stagnant in their lives re-orient to their core needs and values, allowing people to feel more real and alive at work, home, and in relationships. Whether you are seeking help related to a loss, worries about the future, or complex relationship dynamics, we can begin to understand these together and make positive change. "The best time to plant a tree was yesterday; The second best time is now." I look forward to hearing about what's happening in your life now.

I look forward to working with and helping people of all ages. Individuals and families can expect the use of Attachment Theory, reflective practice, mindfulness and humor. Many individuals are dealing with stressful situations with life's ever present changes. I offer assistance in goal setting and follow through. For young children and their families I use a Child-Parent Psychotherapeutic approach and can combine this with trauma work. Perinatal families can expect a deep understanding of the stages of becoming a parent and struggling.
