Making the decision to go to counseling can often feel overwhelming. Whether you’re just beginning your counseling journey, or looking to make a change, I recognize the importance of working with a counselor who feels like the right fit for you. I seek to cultivate a mutual sense of trust, respect, and comfort in the therapeutic space as it is a necessary foundation for any therapeutic work to begin. I take a trauma-informed approach that is primarily guided by humanistic and feminist perspectives, meaning I will strive to empower you to explore your experiences in a non-judgemental and supportive environment. I also integrate techniques from other perspectives, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), when necessary, as I firmly believe that every client is different and requires an approach attuned to their individual needs. I enjoy working with individuals 18+ on anxiety, trauma, and women’s issues, though I have experience treating a range of presentations. Healing is not a linear process and what may sometimes seem like a step back is often a step forward. I look forward to working with you and sharing in all that your unique journey brings.

Ever had too many thoughts at once? Or the feeling of your heart pounding out of your chest? Or even just not having the energy to get out of bed in the morning? Thats called anxiety. One of the most important aspects to understanding the world around you and the stressors around you is to understand the dynamics of yourself. Many of my clients have struggled with ADHD, ASD, Anger management issues, impulsivity, stress anxiety, depression and so much more. Throughout my studies I focused on human development and neurological psychology. Here I unlocked a true love that I had for the understanding of the human brain and its functions. I thrive on helping individuals reach their full potential and move forward.

I also collaborate with each client to integrate the approaches and techniques that work best for them. I have experience working with adolescents, adults, and couples on a wide range of issues including identity, anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, body image, low self-esteem, relationship dynamics, and CNM/polyamory.

The experience of distressing thoughts and feelings can make it difficult to live a satisfying life and can lead to dysfunctional behaviors that stand between where you are now and where you want to be, whether that be within yourself, your relationships, your job, and so forth. In working together, you can expect to find a safe and judgement-free space that will allow you to grow and achieve your therapy goals. As a team, we will work together by utilizing a structured and goal-oriented cognitive behavioral (CBT) approach to understand and change the way your thoughts and feelings influence your behavior. We will work to identify and challenge negative thinking patterns, develop healthier ways of coping, and set practical goals to improve your overall well-being.

Our stories are comprised of unique experiences that both consciously and unconsciously shape who we are. I believe that by seeking to understand the ways in which these experiences have influenced us, a pathway for growth and healing is unveiled. My goal is to create a space that is welcoming, warm and nonjudgmental. One that supports the development of self and will encourage each client to remain steadfast in their journey towards living their most authentic life. My integrative approach to treatment allows for a uniquely tailored therapeutic experience. One where your individual needs will be taken into careful consideration and handled with the utmost care. With your commitment to this process, my hope is that together, we can work to understand what hinders you and collaboratively seek solutions that leave you in alignment with your identified goals. While I have previously worked closely with those struggling with substance use disorders and severe and persistent mental illness, my passion lies in working with varying degrees of trauma, athlete/sports related mental health, relational challenges, the management of anxiety/depression and issues concerning the LGBTQ+ community.

I am particularly passionate about supporting clients in healing from parental trauma, including the unique challenges of growing up with emotionally unavailable or distant parents.

Using person-centered and cognitive-behavioral approaches, we’ll explore how past experiences shaped your worldview and work together to develop healthier ways of thinking and coping.

In our sessions, you can expect to heal emotional wounds, set healthy boundaries, and develop strategies for managing life’s challenges.

Jennifer H.
In the process of navigating life, we naturally encounter obstacles. Whether you are enduring difficult life transitions, trying to make sense of your experiences, or navigating tricky interpersonal relationships, you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. Therapy is a space to work towards clarity in an empathetic, thoughtful, and authentic manner. Looking at ourselves in the context of individual, interpersonal, and cultural cycles allows us to more clearly understand our life experiences and internal reactions. I approach therapy from a holistic, person-centered, and integrated relational orientation. This entails exploring how past experiences have shaped our current beliefs, roles, attachments, and coping mechanisms. We will work together to understand how these cycles may be repeating themselves in your present, and how we can alter them for the better. We are all doing the best that we can given the tools we are equipped with. My goal is to help expand your toolbox through exploration of self, psychoeducation, and fostering human connection in a warm, empathetic space. I welcome the opportunity to work with you!

Finding a therapist takes courage, trust, and hope that a new path forward is possible for you. I offer a safe space in which you can be fully seen and valued for who you are, while developing new tools for navigating life’s challenges. My approach is trauma-informed, multicultural, and focuses on understanding you as a whole person. Through healing and self-exploration, we will implement skills together that can help you manage life stressors and improve multiple aspects of your life, ranging from relationships, career, self-esteem, and other long-term goals. I have experience working with LGTBQ individuals, sex workers, young adults and families, and individuals who have experienced trauma, including sexual abuse and intimate partner violence. I come to this specialization after having spent years as an attorney representing youth and families in the child welfare and juvenile justice systems. If you are interested in scheduling a session with me, I encourage you to reach out to set up a 15-minute free introductory phone call.

Humans are hardwired for connection, that's why relationships (including the one we have with ourselves) are the fabric of our existence. We are products of our environments and experiences. For some of us, relationships and connecting with others in healthy ways can be challenging. We can work together, metabolizing internal conflict and transforming pain into purpose in a safe and empathic environment built upon acceptance, respect, and curiosity. We can’t change difficult experiences from the past, but we can better understand and resolve challenges in our present life by exploring new ways of feeling and thinking. I weave together proven and emerging theories on human behavior, development, and personality that lead to positive life changes such as happiness, health, and purpose.

There are many reasons why people seek therapy. You may be experiencing difficult emotions that you're struggling to process, you may be having issues in an important relationship in your life, you may have specific behaviors that you want to change, or you may simply want to strengthen your connection with yourself and understand your internal experience on a deeper level. Whatever your reason may be, a strong therapeutic relationship is the most important factor in achieving your goals. I am an integrative therapist, incorporating various therapeutic techniques and approaches into our sessions based on your own personal needs and goals. I work through an LGBTQIA+ affirmative, anti-oppressive lens to honor our intersectional identities and the impact that society has on our experiences and mental health. When built on trust and non-judgement, therapy opens up a space where you can practice connecting with your emotions, expressing yourself, and employing unconditional self-compassion. If this resonates with you, send me an email so we can talk about booking your first session!

My experience has involved working with diverse populations of adolescents and adults seeking support on a spectrum of issues including depression, anxiety, stress, and improving self-esteem and body-image issues. I appreciate the different ways people express their needs, and how important healthy communication and connection are for navigating any challenge in life. Motivating others and providing the needed emotional support to empower individuals inspires my current approach to therapy.

As an Integrative Therapist (MHC-LP), Life Coach, and Yoga Educator (E-RYT), I combine Eastern and Western philosophies and theories to encourage client transformation through new ways of thinking, seeing, and being. I believe that shifts come in all shapes and sizes, and there is no magic formula to finding happiness. I work with the whole client - body, mind, and spirit - to help incorporate your unique parts into a complete and unified life. I often utilize Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in sessions and co-facilitate Adult DBT Skills Training groups.
