What can you expect to take away from a session with Jenna?

The takeaway I hear most often from patients after their initial sessions with me is that for the first time ever, they finally feel heard. Psychiatry is both a science and an art, and I believe in the value of taking the time to find the proper diagnosis and treat the root causes of the symptoms you're experiencing. Sometimes that is through medication, sometimes therapy, sometimes both. I'll meet you wherever you are in your healing journey and help identify the destination. From then on, you'll never travel alone.

What are Jenna’s biggest strengths?

I believe my greatest strength lies in my genuine "realness". Like you, I'm a human being navigating this complicated world. Parenting, marriage struggles, special-needs children, past trauma - I understand where you are because I've been there, and I am dedicated to helping you get to where you want to be. I have extensive experience working with adolescents and women 18-55. I'm working my way through certification in Geek Therapy - cause I'm a big nerd at heart. Why? Because if you can relate to the therapy techniques and relate to your provider, you're more likely to get better! I work extensively with those who identify in various places on the gender and sexuality spectrums - I will always be a safe space for you.

What treatment methods and tools does Jenna utilize?

My approach is very individualized to each patient, based on the symptoms you're experiencing and the various root causes involved. I believe medication can be a valuable tool to aid in healing - sometimes temporarily, sometimes long-term - depending on the client. I also believe strongly in the value of therapy in breaking through barriers holding you back. Research and experience tell me that the combination is often where the sweet spot is found. We'll work together to figure out what it is that you may need. (At this time we are accepting new evaluation and medication management clients. Jenna’s therapy schedule is currently filled, but we hope to add an additional therapist soon!) Therapy modalities are broad, and again would be heavily tailored to you and your situation. Whole-body approach means we'll focus on your mind, body and spirit through utilization of mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma informed therapy, and more.
