My Approach to Therapy
Welcome! I'm Jenna, and I'm dedicated to your healing journey. Central to successful therapy is the rapport between client and therapist, which is why I emphasize a collaborative approach tailored to your unique needs. Within our therapeutic space, you will always find a trusting environment where your personal goals and concerns are prioritized. It's important to recognize that everyone deserves to voice their needs and be heard.
I work with clients aged 14 and above across all gender identities. While my expertise lies primarily in aiding individuals and families impacted by complex and chronic trauma, I'm also skilled in addressing anxiety, depression, and assisting families to enhance their communication dynamics.
My years in trauma and PTSD treatment have taught me the multifaceted nature of traumatic experiences. Whether it's a sudden life-changing event like an accident or more subtle, long-standing issues rooted in family dynamics or early life experiences, I understand the challenge in trusting someone with your personal stories. Rest assured, I am dedicated to ensuring our therapy sessions are safe, and centered on your well-being.
In my therapeutic practice, I draw from a diverse set of treatment modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), Instinctual Trauma Response (ITR) Method, Mindfulness, Somatic Experiencing, Attachment-Based Therapy, Object Relations, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).
Having earned my degree from Towson University, I've been a licensed counselor since 2015. Alongside my association with Maryland Counseling Associates, I'm also actively involved with the non-profit, Teens with Trauma, offering complimentary trauma-focused therapies for teens. My professional journey has also taken me to Villa Maria in Dundalk, and various inpatient hospital environments, serving children, adolescents, families, and adults.
