Now accepting new clients! Also available nights and weekends both online and in- person! Email is the best way to contact me! Include preferred days/times & place. Hey there! I'm Jen, and I would love to partner with you in helping you achieve your goals. Many things can keep us stuck and prevent us from moving forward and reaching our true potential in life. Sometimes, even the strongest of us need a little help to push through or gain clarity. I've got you! I've likely had similar struggles and can help you navigate the choppy waters through my own lived experiences, my education, and the help I've provided others along the way.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, holding a Master of Science in Professional Counseling from Grand Canyon University. With a deep commitment to fostering transformation and growth, I specialize in creating a therapeutic space where clients feel empowered to explore their inner potential. My approach is grounded in building a collaborative and relational connection, ensuring that each client feels heard, supported, and safe throughout their journey.

People come to therapy carrying many different things. A teenager navigating identity and anxiety. An adult whose depression has become the background noise of daily life. An older adult sitting with grief, transition, and questions about meaning and purpose. I work across all of it — with teens, adults, and older adults — and I bring the same grounded, genuine investment to every person who walks through the door.

What I offer isn't just clinical range, though I have that. It's the perspective that comes from over a decade working across outpatient, intensive outpatient, and inpatient settings, serving as a clinical director, supervising clinicians toward licensure, and training the next generation of therapists at universities across Arizona. That kind of career doesn't just build skill. It builds a clinician who has seen enough to know that the most important thing in the room is never the framework — it's the relationship.

I'm an Arizona native, grounded, down-to-earth, and easy to be around. I value humor and believe lightheartedness has a real place in the therapy room — not as a way of avoiding the hard stuff, but as a reminder that healing doesn't have to feel relentlessly heavy. I work with people navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, borderline personality disorder, co-occurring conditions, and complex life transitions, and I meet all of it with warmth, steadiness, and real clinical depth.

What I'm ultimately working toward with every client is simple: a better relationship with yourself and the people around you. More insight. More purpose. A life that feels more like yours. Whether you're just beginning to understand what you're carrying or you've been at this work for years, I'll help you build something from there.

My approach to care integrates psychotherapy with medication management. I provide therapy for patients whose psychiatric medications I also manage, allowing for a coordinated and personalized treatment plan that supports both emotional and medical aspects of mental health.

With over 20 years of experience as a Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner and now as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I am deeply committed to delivering compassionate, comprehensive care tailored to each individual’s unique needs. My approach integrates physical and mental health to support the whole person.

• Gender-affirming hormone therapy
• ADHD Clinical Service Provider-Certified Providing comprehensive evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of ADHD in children, adolescents, and adults.
