Jenna’s Approach
Jenna works primarily from a psychodynamic perspective while integrating principles of Relational Cultural Therapy. This means therapy may involve exploring how earlier experiences and important relationships have shaped the emotions, beliefs, and patterns that show up in your life today. Together, Jenna and their clients work to understand those patterns with curiosity rather than judgment and consider what may need to shift.
Jenna also pays close attention to what happens within the therapy relationship itself. Therapy can offer a meaningful opportunity to notice how you relate to others, how you respond when you feel misunderstood or vulnerable, and what helps you feel safe enough to be more fully yourself.
Jenna works with clients to:
- Reconnect with emotions that have felt difficult to access
- Understand recurring relationship patterns
- Process painful or confusing past experiences
- Develop greater self-acceptance
- See familiar situations from a new perspective
- Make choices that feel more aligned with their values, needs, and identity
Jenna believes meaningful therapy is collaborative. They do not assume there is one right way to heal or grow, and they work to create a space where clients can be honest, curious, and increasingly connected to themselves.
