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 am a licensed clinical social worker who has been providing therapy to children, adolescents, adults and families for over 20 years. I am skilled at working with a variety of mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, interpersonal issues, school based issues, child-parent conflict and behavioral management.
