Liscensed Mental Health Counselor; Board Member
Jenny collaborates closely with parents and caregivers, recognizing them as essential partners who know their children best. She tailors her therapeutic approach to the unique needs of each child and family, grounded in the belief that within the safety of a trusted relationship, every child has the capacity to heal, overcome challenges, and thrive.
Jenny enjoys inviting children and families to nature play therapy. She believes that nature, and play heals what language cannot, especially when paired with the gentle, grounding presence of animals under an open sky. Her interest in equine-assisted therapy reflects her appreciation for the unique relationships between humans and animals and the possibilities they offer for growth, connection, and emotional healing.
