Meet Jenny & feel understood again.
“I’ve shared things with Jenny I’ve never told anyone, even other therapists. Jenny is relentless in her desire to understand and help you. She helped me trust myself and my instincts.”
“We used to leave therapy feeling worse - like we had time to talk about our problems, but never solve them. With Jenny, we felt like we are on the same team, working through our issues together. And now we know how to work through them on our own. We’ve begged all our partnered friends to see go Jenny! ”

More about each style of therapy.
Psychodynamic, or “talk therapy,” investigates the roots of problems. Together, we will seek to better understand your inner world and look beyond the surface for the deeper meaning in your thoughts and actions. “When psychoanalytic treatment is successful, it is not just the symptoms that change, the person changes” -Jonathan Shedler
TEAM-CBT is a framework of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) created by Dr. David Burns. TEAM is an acronym for Testing, Empathy, Agenda-Setting, and Methods, the four foundational components of this approach. We will work together to identify and set goals, identify patterns in your thoughts and feelings, and build tools to improve and reframe your negative self-talk.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful and effective therapy for the treatment of trauma. Using bilateral stimulation, we will processes and release information trapped in your mind and body. Attachment-focused EMDR (AF-EMDR) is client-centered and uses a combination of “resource tapping,” EMDR, and talk therapy. We will incorporate an attachment-repair orientation to all phases of EMDR work.
The goals of the Gottman Method include increasing closeness and friendship behaviors, addressing conflict productively, and building a life of shared meaning together. The Gottman Method views conflict as inevitable and healthy. We will work to manage, not resolve, conflict. And we will customize principles from the research to meet the particular patterns and challenges in your relationship.
Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFT) focuses on the importance of secure attachment and emotionally fulfilling relationships. We will identify the negative cycles in the relationship that interrupt lasting connection and explore the unmet needs underlying these cycles. EFT for Couples emphasizes breaking these cycles, cultivating responsiveness and support, and enhancing couple functioning.
Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) uses the therapeutic relationship as a secure base to process difficult emotional and relational experiences with the goal of fostering new, corrective emotional and relational experiences. AEDP is strengths-focused and privileges the positive. We will focus on enhancing positive functioning such as self-compassion, wellbeing, and self-esteem.
