Love is a two way street:

“Working with Jen was a transformative experience, and one that I credit for helping me process core traumas, resolve struggles with attachment, and set the foundation for a healthy romantic relationship, which evolved into my current marriage. Jen seamlessly integrates somatic and spiritual approaches into relational, psychodynamic therapy. Moving beyond a traditional “talk therapy” approach and integrating somatic elements was key for me. Working with my breath, observing my patterns of speech, and practicing slowing my mind proved powerful. Therapy with Jen helped me understand and heal the disconnect I had experienced with my body for years, and in the process, allowed me to bring forth my authentic, integrated self.

Jen worked with me at a deep level while remaining attuned to my experience of safety and comfort with doing so. The level of depth and transformation I experienced with Jen was unique for me. I’ve worked with several therapists over the years. Most have tended to work at the surface level; while they validated my feelings and reassured me, I found myself unsatisfied by this approach. I was in therapy to explore feelings and patterns at a deep level, and ultimately, to change and transform. I did not want a cheerleader but someone who could challenge me in a compassionate manner. Jen did just that.

Jen was skilled at helping me explore my experiences and feelings, which allowed me to reach insights, uncover patterns, and process and release traumas. She provided a safe container for such transformation to happen and never pushed me to go further than was appropriate. However, Jen provided honest and direct feedback on my tendencies and behaviors. In fact, one of the things I appreciated most about our work together was that it was not always easy, as Jen held me accountable and held a mirror to my self-limiting patterns of talking or thinking. She did so with compassion, kindness, and genuine empathy. 

Jen is also deeply attuned to systemic inequities and their impact on mental health. While psychotherapy necessarily focuses on the individual, Jen understands how broader social systems and factors interplay with individual experiences. As a woman of color, I never felt uncomfortable discussing issues of race or how my social identities affected me. Jen was not only comfortable creating a container for such conversations – she also provided insightful, informed reflections. In my experience, this insight into systems-level influences and the ability to integrate it into sessions is rare among therapists. 

I always felt seen and respected by Jen – she was truly present for our sessions and created rituals that honored our time together. I always left a session with Jen feeling clearer, lighter, and a sense of authentic freedom. In fact, I felt cleansed.”

“Jen is a magical spirit. She is deeply educated in her work and grounded in what she believes in, which enables her to lead clients on their personal journeys. Jen helped me pave the way to a place of inner peace and understanding in ways that I never thought I could achieve. She is honest, clear and intentional in every one of her sessions. Throughout years of working with Jen, I became able to better identify my own needs — and the root cause of why these needs exist in my adult life — which has helped me with my family, my relationships, my career and most importantly, my integrity. For me, Jen is not considered only a therapist; I consider Jen a teacher, a resource and a spiritual leader. Being a client of hers has helped me grow in so many ways, and see the world through a much broader lens. I have an infinite amount of gratitude for the opportunity to welcome Jen into my universe.”

  • "When I started working with Jen, I noted that one of my deepest desires is to have more inner peace, to care less what others think and to feel less stiffness in my mind – I always find that I need to over-prepare, over think and have a certain perception of how things should be and how situations will unfold. I wanted to feel more at ease with myself and to ‘flow in’ to situations – just be me and allow myself to be more flexible and intuitive in my approach. Jen is really sharp when it comes to uncovering patterns and gently exposing them to you. I can’t believe some of the things she has guided me to see about myself and the patterns to which I am DEEPLY committed – even though I don’t want to be! Through it all, you can bet that Jen is the BEST at holding the space you need for you to unravel your crap and to help you (through breathing techniques, mantras and other rituals) come back to center in different form. I feel like a different person – I feel more freedom and layer by layer Jen is helping me shed more patterns that have been holding me back for so long. Highly recommended for whoever is ready to do the work and wants results! This is a no bullshit kind of process – it’s real and it is beautiful.." ~ EC
