Jenna is trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Based Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) in which we examine your thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors in order to see if they are helping you work toward or goals, and if not try to shift them to being more effective. In session, Jenna focuses on mindfulness, breathing, and emotion regulation tools. This approach supports clients to be able to focus more effectively and be more productive with a calm presence.

Jenna's style is engaging, goal-oriented, and non-judgmental. When clients first start therapy, we will work to understand the client's past history and set goals together.
