Therapist

Virtual • New York


Hello I am Jenn, I have a graduate degree from The College of St Rose in Albany, and NYS licensed Master CASAC. I am most proud of the well seasoned life experience that comes with being a Gen X.

Clients can expect authenticity, an open mind, and an understanding space to explore traumatic and challenging belief systems (that no longer work), emotional dysregulation, coping skills, communication skills (boundary setting, healthy communication, self care), and future focused guidance and support.

Clients will improve social, relational and professional interactions. Clients are free to express themselves mindfully and reflect intentionally about challenging behavior and racing thoughts. I will always provide compassionate non-judgmental, and ethical care.

When ur mind won’t stop and ur body won’t settle: healing is possible!

Are u struggling with anxiety, trauma or intrusive thoughts?

I work with clients who feel trapped in cycles of fear, worry, panic, intrusive and obsessive thinking, somatic symptoms, emotional overwhelm and phobias, feel like themself again.

My approach is warm, empathic, intuitive and holistic, healing on mind, body and soul level.

I believe anxiety is often the mind and body’s way of trying to protect us, especially when past experiences, trauma or chronic stress have left the nervous system feeling unsafe. Together we gently explore the underlying roots of your symptoms with subconscious processes, as we update neural and nervous system networks, while building practical tools to help u feel more grounded.

My work integrates evidence based practices, like EMDR, CBT, mindfulness, some somatic (as I’m somatic informed), and deeper emotional insight.

Every session is custom tailored to you individually, meeting u exactly where u are. Clients describe me as deeply attuned and easy to talk to. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where healing unfolds and lasting change happens. Let’s embark on your healing journey!
