About Jennie

I learned early on in my career that I needed to teach people skills and give them tools that they could use in everyday life, and the space to practice these with guidance and without judgement.

Talking about emotions is hard work. Many people feel they have difficulty identifying their own emotions, much less understanding how others experience theirs. Understanding emotions is the key to unlocking your partner’s heart, and can be learned.

When therapy offers both a supportive environment and these practical skills, you are able to recognize negative patterns, avoid destructive interactions, and resolve conflict without building further resentment. This is why I became a Gottman Certified Couples Therapist, because I found the resources available for both couples and individuals were profoundly impactful and easy to implement. 

My clients are often in difficult professional roles which can make seeking therapy a scary endeavor.

I get it. As a military and DoD spouse who spent many years of my childhood living in Africa, I know that life is beautifully complex. I understand that your family history, your culture, and your environment impacts both you and your relationships. 

Over the years, I have needed to work and live in many different cultures and have found that one of my most valuable skills is being adaptable. This skill, along with my clinical training, and my practical experience of being a mother, help me to connect with you as you are, while also seeing the potential for change in your life. 

Whether it is through couples therapy with your partner, through a couples workshop, or through therapy individually, I’d love to support you in healing pain, developing trust, and building deeper connections.
