Hi, I'm Jenna.

If you’ve found your way here, there’s a good chance you’ve been carrying a lot — maybe quietly, maybe for a long time. You don’t need to have the perfect words or a clear story to be here. Curiosity, exhaustion, grief, or even a vague sense that something needs to change is enough.

I believe therapy works best when you feel understood, not analyzed. Together, we can co-create a path to move forward towards a more authentic and intentional way of being.

How I Approach Therapy

My work is grounded in the belief you are not broken, but you may be overwhelmed, unsupported, or stuck in patterns that once helped you survive but no longer serve you. In therapy, I focus on:

  • Creating a space where you don’t have to perform or hold it together

  • Helping you slow down and make sense of what’s happening internally

  • Supporting you in building awareness, and releasing judgment

  • Taking small, intentional steps toward meaningful change

Therapy with me is collaborative, thoughtful, and paced to meet you where you are.

Who I Tend to Work Best With

I specialize in working with adults — particularly millennials — who are thoughtful, self-aware, and often hard on themselves. Many of my clients are used to being “the capable one,” even while feeling anxious, burned out, or disconnected inside.

I’m particularly enjoy supporting:

  • Millennials navigating anxiety, identity shifts, relationship challenges, and burnout

  • Veterinary professionals coping with compassion fatigue, grief, and the emotional weight of caring for others including clinicians, nurses, support staff, and students/trainees.

  • Individuals anticipating or currently grieving the loss of a beloved pet, especially when that grief feels unseen or minimized

These experiences deserve care, validation, and space — not pressure to “move on” or “get over it already.”

A Note on Pet Loss and Veterinary Work

Pet loss and veterinary medicine are often misunderstood areas of grief and emotional stress. The bonds people form with animals are deep, and the work of caring for them can be both meaningful and painful.

I approach this work with respect, sensitivity, and an understanding that:

  • Grief doesn’t follow a timeline

  • Loving deeply can hurt deeply

  • Compassion fatigue is not a personal failure

You don’t need to minimize your feelings or experiences here.

What You Can Expect From Me

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I bring years of professional training and genuine care into the room. While my credentials matter, what matters more is how safe and understood you feel in our work together.

Throughout my years of practice, I’ve been described as:

  • Warm, grounded, and easy to talk to

  • Thoughtful and curious without being overwhelming

  • Honest, supportive and practical (for example: I love to share resources, journal prompts, and worksheets when I think it can benefit your learning and growth)

I’m not a blank slate or a quietly nodding head. I draw on lived experience and commonalities I’ve observed to connect with your discomfort and pain.

Who Am I, Really? 

Outside of work, I enjoy treasure hunting in thrift stores, joining in the pickleball frenzy, reading all kinds of fiction, and picking up one of my many half-done craft projects. I’m a proud AmeriCorps NCCC alum, graduated with my Masters in Social Work from the University of Wisconsin - Madison, born and raised in Minnesota, married to a veterinary pathologist, and parenting two rambunctious little boys along with our goofy mini-goldendoodle Walter and strangely social cat, Buddy.

Online Therapy That Fits Your Life

I offer online therapy across New Jersey and Pennsylvania, making it easier to access support in a way that works with your schedule and your life.

Whether you’re looking to work through something specific or simply want life to feel more manageable, therapy can be a helpful place to start.

Next Steps

Finding the right therapist matters. That’s why I offer a free 15-minute consultation — a chance to connect, ask questions, and see if working together feels like a good fit.

You don’t have to have everything figured out. You just have to take the first step.
