Welcome! My name is Jill. I am an LCSW with 20 years of individual and group counseling experience. I have worked with teens and adults in both inpatient and outpatient settings, treating anxiety, depression and a variety of mental health needs. I have specialized training treating sexual disorders, trauma, anger management, and relapse prevention.
Hi, I’m Jennifer! I’ve spent over 10 years working with individuals and families of all ages, helping them tackle life’s challenges—from anxiety and depression to trauma, life transitions, and family dynamics (and everything in between). I’m all about creating a safe, supportive space where you can show up just as you are.
Hi, I’m Jilian a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 7 years of experience as a practicing clinician.
I offer telehealth psychotherapy for individuals of all ages who are navigating complex emotions, trauma, recovery, and life transitions. My goal is to provide a space that feels safe, compassionate, and empowering.
I specialize in supporting clients experiencing anxiety, other mood disorders, addiction & recovery, ADHD, trauma, and crisis-related issues. I support fellow caregivers and helping professionals who need space to process their own pain. I also incorporate elements of Gottman Method Couples Therapy for clients navigating relationship challenges.
My experience in crisis intervention and emergency psychiatric care has given me a deep respect for the resilience it takes to keep going, even when things feel impossible. I aim to create a space where you can be honest without fear of judgment and begin to rewrite the stories that have kept you stuck.
Outside of therapy I’m passionate about music, tarot, astrology, animals, spirituality, and connecting with nature as forms of self-reflection and grounding.
If you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward, you’re not alone.
