Why I Recommend Jen
I met Jen when we were both working in different county agencies serving infants born with substances in their systems due to prenatal drug use or medication assisted treatment during pregnancy. From the beginning, it was clear that Jen approached this work with deep compassion, systems level thinking, and an unwavering commitment to keeping families intact whenever safely possible.

Jen was integral to the success of county initiatives designed to support pregnant and parenting women without shame or judgment. Her work helped shift systems away from punishment and toward care, ensuring that mothers and babies received coordinated medical, mental health, and substance use support. She understood that outcomes improve when dignity, trust, and comprehensive care are prioritized, and she consistently advocated for both mother and child within complex systems.

Her clinical lens is thoughtful, holistic, and deeply respectful. Jen understands how anxiety, perfectionism, identity shifts, and burnout are shaped by lived experience, societal pressure, and systemic factors. She blends evidence based therapy with narrative and mind body approaches, meeting clients where they are and offering tools that feel accessible, human, and empowering. Her work reflects both clinical rigor and a grounded belief in people’s capacity to heal and redefine their stories.
