About Jenn
Jenn is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #41133. She specializes in children, teens and families. Her 19 years as a licensed therapist intertwine with her own parenting journey such that she intuitively just gets it. You will feel this as you quickly and naturally build the sort of therapeutic relationship we all need (kids, teens and parents alike) if we are going to do the hard work of building skills and making change. Parents appreciate that she has been and still is, in the thick of raising teens in a complicated world. Parenting is not for the faint of heart and Jenn finds that space where parents are understood without judgment and are given concrete, workable and realistic plans to manage what their kids throw at them (mostly figuratively and occasionally literally.) She is skilled at helping people tap their greatness and use their values as a guide to motivate growth.
Jenn has extensive experience and specialized training to work with kiddos and teens struggling with a variety of challenges. Her areas of expertise include anxiety, OCD, ADHD, behavior problems, high risk behavior, twice exceptionality, tics/Tourettes, and BFRBs such as trichotillomania. Her approach is collaborative, respectful, solution focused and always guided by research backed and evidence based strategies including CBT, Exposure Response Prevention (ERP), CBIT (for Tics), CPS model of parenting, ComB, Non Violence Resistance and SPACE.
Jenn loves the outdoors, hanging out on pool decks watching waterpolo or coaching high school swim, photography, pickleball, puppies and plants. She finds the most joy (and humility) in parenting her 3 teenage boys,
