Understand your patterns. Build new ones that support you.

Therapy for young adults ready to grow with clarity, compassion, and real skills

Hi, I'm Jennifer!  For the past 20 years, I have worked with young adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, burnout, overthinking, or overwhelming emotions. You may be navigating big life transitions — school, work, relationships, identity, or independence — and feeling unsure where to start. If you want therapy that’s warm, practical, and grounded in real tools, you’re in the right place.

My approach blends emotional insight with practical skill-building. You’ll learn tools you can use in daily life, not just during sessions.
I combine:
DBT-based skills for grounding, communication, and emotional regulation
Systems thinking to understand patterns, relationships, and context
Wellness and life-navigation tools for stress, boundaries, routines, and identity
Each session is collaborative, empathic, and tailored to your needs.

Many clients come in feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to handle the pressure they’re facing. Therapy offers a space to understand what’s happening internally and learn skills that help you feel calmer and more in control. You don’t need to have everything figured out. You just need a place to begin.

About Me

I help young adults feel more steady, connected, and capable through warm, skill-based therapy. You might be here because life feels heavier than it should. Maybe you're overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck in patterns that don’t make sense yet. Therapy gives you space to slow down, understand what’s happening, and build tools that help you move forward.
My approach
Therapy with me is empathic, supportive, and grounded in real skills. You’ll always leave with something practical you can apply in daily life. I integrate: DBT-based emotional regulation and communication skills, Systems thinking to explore the bigger picture shaping your experiences, and Wellness tools for routines, boundaries, confidence, and stress.
Why I Work With Young Adults
Young adulthood is full of transition, identity shifts, and pressure to “figure things out.” It’s also a time when anxiety, depression, and emotional overwhelm often peak. I love helping young adults understand their patterns, feel more grounded, and build tools that support real growth.
What Therapy Feels Like
You’ll receive compassion, clarity, and practical tools — not judgment or pressure. We move at a pace that feels safe and supportive. You don’t have to be perfect to start. You just need a place where you can be honest.
