Welcome!
It is my privilege to offer a safe haven for you to work through life's challenges. My goal is to help unlock what's keeping you stuck and to facilitate your transition to a life filled with hope and happiness.
Couples/Marriage Therapy
Jenny has a passion for couples counseling and has extensive post graduate training in "Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy" (EFT) . EFT focuses on the feelings of marital isolation that, according to research, lie at the core of relationship distress. Rather than following "popular wisdom" and simply focusing on surface level issues of anger, conflict, communication problems, etceteras, EFT changes the repetitive negative cycle that keeps couples apart and thus creates lasting change.
This EFT approach, developed by Dr. Sue Johnson, has a 75% success rate versus a 35% success rate by most couples therapy approaches.
Individual Therapy
Jenny uses cognitive behavioral therapy, REBT, solution-focused therapy, Gestalt, Interpersonal therapy, and Positive Psychology.
Family Therapy
Jenny takes a systematic approach with adolescents conducting individual, parenting, and family sessions. Jenny uses "Emotionally Focused Family Therapy" (EFFT), a powerful modality which addresses distressed relationships among family members. She helps the family identify their negative interactional cycles and restructure the family paradigm to include accessible and responsible patterns; she teaches parents to become "consultant parents," and help teens cope better in life.
Approach
Individual, couples, family and group counseling for adolescents & adults.

As a last-ditch effort to save our relationship, my boyfriend and I decided to seek out couples counseling. We each had baggage from failed marriages and had never tried therapy before, so counseling seemed like a very good idea! Jenny came highly recommended, and I knew from the moment I first spoke to her on the phone that she was the right person to help us. Jenny is warm and funny and easy to talk to, and has this wonderful ability to pinpoint issues and quickly get to the heart of what youre trying to say (I find myself saying Exactly! a lot). Jenny has provided us with a safe place to express our issues and concerns, while teaching us the skills to become better communicators and stop the negative cycles in our relationship. Thanks to her, we are really starting to understand ourselves and each other. I'm very happy to say that not only has our relationship improved since we started seeing Jenny, it has evolved into the best relationship either of us has ever had, because for the first time in our lives we are communicating in an authentic, proactive and effective way.

After reaching my emotional boiling point during the most challenging year of my life, I decided that I needed to do something to understand and cope with it all. On a whim, I reached out to Jenny via the Psychology Today website. It seems as though instantly Jenny responded to my desperate email with a kind, compassionate, and affirming message. Jenny has helped me to see the importance of making myself a priority after years of putting others welfare before my own. She has encouraged me to listen to and trust that inner voice inside. Although counseling can be challenging and uncomfortable when one is honestly evaluating one's emotional state, she has made therapy one of the most positive experiences I have ever had.
-Medical Doctor
Jenny helped me get to the root of my problems immediately and suggested great ways to overcome what has bothered me about myself for a long time. It is important to find a therapist who cares, can make a connection with you, and honestly listens with an open heart. Jenny is always reading and educating herself to be the best possible therapist for others. I am thankful for the guidance she has given me to find a higher level of peace and happinesss with myself, and with others at work and in my personal relationships.
-IT Executive
Jenny has helped open the lines of communication between our adolescent daughter and my wife and me. This has helped us to achieve a better understanding of one another and has helped our relationships.
