Psychotherapy

Life is fluid, and as we move through it, we not only impact the environment around us, but we, ourselves, are changed by it. I believe we are most fulfilled when we are connected and present. Therefore, much of my work focuses on increasing our capacity for acceptance, compassion and mindfulness. We all experience difficult moments in our lives. While our struggles are unique and personal, they are also valuable opportunities for insight and change and can remind us of our interconnectedness and the power of shared experiences.

Examples of issues around which you may be needing support include...

  • Working on increasing your communication skills
  • Improving family dynamics
  • Evaluating and repairing patterns in your intimate relationships
  • Maximizing the impact of your parenting skills
  • Reducing the impact that depression or anxiety has on your work and relationships
  • Finding balance in your life and reducing stress
  • Exploring career interests or changing jobs
  • Getting better organized and increasing your motivation

"Jenn helped me take some of the most difficult and overwhelming situations that I've been faced with and supported me to step back and get refocused. I can't believe how much more manageable things became, once I got clear on things! She helped me so much. I moved through things that I never thought I could go through...and, she even made me laugh in my stressed out state!"

"Jenn is a highly enthusiastic and vibrant trainer. She is terrifically knowledgeable and has a great command of the material. Highly attuned to various learning styles, Jenn can connect with everybody. I've never heard of anyone who walked away from one of her trainings without commenting on how valuable it was. Simply excellent!"

Practice management consultation

Starting a private practice can be daunting. I help clinical professionals develop a business plan, establish efficient systems for care, billing and referrals and provide templates for documentation and record-keeping.

"When I finally made the decision to move into private practice, it was one of the most nerve-wracking and scary things I had ever done! Fortunately, though, I had the good fortune of working with Jenn. She was incredibly helpful with how to establish a private practice, offered materials, guidance, and encouragement. At the start of my private practice, I would email her health insurance questions. She was always very responsive and informative. I now have a thriving private practice. If you’re looking for an amazing mentor, Jenn is the one for you!"

Technical assistance, capacity-building, program development

I have worked extensively with schools, state agencies and community-based organizations around carrying out well-designed needs assessments, capitalizing on community assets, implementing effective programming and accurately assessing and documenting the impact of interventions.

"Jenn's vast experience and her ability to ask insightful questions guided the design and development of our Youth Ambassador Program. Her attention to detail, superb grant writing skills and extraordinary commitment to working on this project were invaluable. As a result the project received full funding and continues to benefit the Somali youth community."

Clinical and administrative supervision services

As a licensed clinical social worker, I have provided supervision services to individuals and agencies. My supervision style is interactive and encourages insightful, honest discussion of the challenges and rewards of working with individuals and communities.

"As my supervisor, Jenn has brought the perfect combination of clinical insight, thoughtfulness and humor to our weekly supervision. I fully trust her to push me to think differently, compassionately, and ethically about difficult clients and situations. Jenn's clinical supervision and expertise has been essential to strengthening and focusing my own skills as a social worker and I look forward to every time we meet.
