I’ve very open minded and calm. I try to meet my clients where they are and gain a better understanding of goals they would like to reach or areas of their life they may be struggling to cope with.
Welcome! I'm glad you're taking the first step towards entering therapy. A little about myself... I take a humanistic, compassionate and person centered approach, which focuses on authenticity and the importance of the therapeutic relationship. This means that I focus on getting to know you, your strengths, and interests, because it's important to establish a connection. As your treatment I want to meet you where you are, while also challenging you to explore alternative perspectives and ideas.
I have 10+ years of experience working with preteens, teens, and adults in both clinical and non-clinical manners. I began my career as a therapist working at and developing a clinical program within a public school system. Additionally, I worked for a company which provided Intensive In-Community (IIC) Services for youth and families in Bergen County. These career opportunities have rewarded me with a wealth of knowledge in areas of anxiety, depression, ADHD, family and peer conflict, school avoidance and life transitions for preteens, teens, and even young adults.
Hello! My name is Jenna. I approach each individual with a profound commitment to person-centered care. Specializing in supporting those navigating anxiety or depression, I also work with individuals who want to enhance communication skills, increase distress and frustration tolerance, and overcome challenging life experiences. I received a Masters degree in Social Work from New York University, and a Doctorate in Social Work from Rutgers.
I’m a compassionate, collaborative therapist who is deeply committed to helping clients feel understood, supported, and empowered in their growth. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, and patterns that feel difficult to break. My style is warm, nonjudgmental, and grounded in genuine curiosity about your lived experience.
I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can show up fully as yourself—without pressure or pretense. Together, we’ll explore what’s been weighing on you, uncover underlying patterns, and build tools that support meaningful, lasting change. My goal is to help you feel more connected to yourself, more confident in your decisions, and more equipped to handle life’s complexities.
After several years of working as a Clinical Psychologist in Lima-Perú, I obtained my Masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy in the United States.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Hackensack
Searching for therapists in Hackensack starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or stress. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match what you want to address. Provider bios can also help you understand each therapist’s approach, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for life transitions.
Hackensack has local therapy options, but nearby availability may vary by schedule, specialty, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your choices across New Jersey, which may help if you need a specific therapy style, evening availability, or a therapist who is accepting new patients. Before booking, review each therapist’s profile for practical fit. Look at appointment times, session format, areas of focus, and whether they offer a free phone consultation so you can learn more before starting care.
Therapy in Hackensack can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected payment before your first appointment. Headway makes that process easier by helping you search for therapists who match your needs, verify your insurance, see estimated costs upfront, and book directly when you’re ready.
