Feeling overwhelmed, lost, or unsure where to start? You've come to the right place.

With over 17 years of clinical experience across a variety of settings, I specialize in creating a warm, judgment-free space where you can explore your concerns at your own pace. Whether you arrive with specific goals in mind, need help identifying them, or simply need somewhere to exhale.

I work with children, adults, couples, and families navigating a wide range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, behavioral concerns, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. Whatever brings you here, I bring deep clinical expertise, genuine compassion, and a commitment to helping you move toward the mental health and life you deserve.

I have been a licensed psychologist for over 10 years and am currently licensed in multiple states, including Florida, Virginia, Maryland, and North Carolina, as well as credentialed to provide telehealth to clients in many other states through the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact.

Something brought you here. That instinct is worth listening to. I’m Jen, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over a decade of experience helping teens and adults through stress, anxiety, and those “where do I go from here?” moments. Basically, I help people with the sticky, messy parts of being human. (Spoiler: everyone has them.) I have a soft spot for young adults figuring out their next chapter, parents running on empty, and educators who hold space for others all day and have nothing left for themselves. I also work with job stress, burnout, identity questions, relationship changes, and that quiet feeling that something needs to shift. My style is warm, honest, and grounded. I’ll meet you with empathy, and I’ll also nudge you a bit. Feeling understood is great. Feeling understood and moving forward is better. We’ll talk openly, laugh or cry as needed (sometimes both in the same session), and find practical ways to untangle old patterns. I earned my master’s in School and Mental Health Counseling from the University of Pennsylvania, and I’m a certified K-12 school counselor. All sessions are online for folks in Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Virginia, so you can come as you are. Sweatpants welcome. If you’re ready to talk, reach out. I’d love to hear what brought you here.

I am originally from North Carolina and moved to Virginia 6 years ago. I studied at Wake Forest University. Since I was younger, I've enjoyed helping others and learning about the science of mental health. It became my hobby when I was younger. I enjoy working with so many backgrounds and increasing my education each year as I help new people. Currently, I like to utilize mindfulness based CBT, DBT, and ACT.

Life can pull us in a hundred different directions, and sometimes it takes slowing down, getting real, and having honest conversations to find our way forward. My approach is straightforward and commpassionate - no judgment, no fluff. I meet you where you are, walk beside you through the challenges, and help you rediscover your strength, clarity, and purpose.
