Meet Jenna

​Hi! I’m excited to be part of OBH, offering 100% online therapy specializing in women 18+ and trauma therapies such as EMDR and EMDR-integrated IFS/parts work. I also have specialized training in adapting these trauma therapies for recovery from abusive relationships, complex/childhood trauma, and neurodivergent clients.

While I work with a variety of concerns, my focus is on relational trauma, caused by the deep, lasting impact of unhealthy, stressful relationships. If you often question yourself, walk on eggshells, people please, struggle to say "no," or live with constant background anxiety, it could be the result of a toxic relationship with a partner, family member, friend, or even boss. For neurodivergent folks, these challenges are often compounded by the feeling that your brain won’t cooperate. What others seem to do easily can feel overwhelmingly hard and draining for you. When people around you keep giving “simple” advice that doesn’t work ("Just exercise!" "You just need a better routine!"), it’s hard not to want to just flop on the couch and keep scrolling on your phone.
 
Over time, relational trauma and unsupported neurodivergence can chip away at your energy, motivation, and ability to trust yourself. I can help you learn how to work with your brain instead of against it, say no without guilt, stop running on fumes, and focus on the people and things in your life that energize rather than drain you. This will leave you with more time for what actually matters (and I’d bet that’s literally anything but dealing with the skeevy things drunk Uncle Bob says at family gatherings!).

I’d love to help you calm the chaos in your mind (or relationships!), break changes down into manageable steps, and get back to what’s truly important to you. Call or email Obsidian Behavioral Health so we can set up a 10- to 15-minute call to see if we might be a good match. I can also provide referrals for issues that are outside of my wheelhouse. :)
