Hi! I’m Jenna — therapist, leader, human being.

I’m so glad you’re here. As a creative innovator who's navigated high-pressure stakes, burnout, failure, loss and transformational breakthrough, I see you.

My Approach to Therapy

My practice centers on human connection and evidence-based healing. I won't make assumptions about your experience. Instead, I listen deeply and adapt to what you need, whether that's gentle encouragement, creative exploration, or direct challenge (with a healthy dose of humor!).

Therapeutic Methods I Use:

  • Narrative Therapy (certified practitioner)

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

  • Psychodynamic therapy

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS)

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

  • Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)

  • Mindfulness and nature-based therapy (ecotherapy)

I also integrate creative approaches including writing, poetry, and music to support your healing journey.

Your AI companion can’t do therapy the way I do therapy.
