Great to meet you!

Hey Everyone, I’m Jennel — a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and I believe therapy should be a space where you feel seen, validated, and understood. I draw from a range of approaches including: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Play Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to tailor each session to meet your unique needs. My goal is to make therapy feel accessible and collaborative. I aim to keep our conversations down-to-earth, supportive, and meaningful.

My approach to therapy

I offer a person-centered therapeutic space for children, teens, and adults. My humanistic approach focuses on collaboration, authenticity, intentional goal setting, and building trust in your self. I work with individuals navigating wide variety of mental health challenges such as: anxiety, emotional overwhelm, life transitions, relationship challenges, or sense of self.

What you can expect from me

Therapy with me emphasizes self-awareness, emotional regulation, and confidence. My goal is to support meaningful growth without judgment or pressure to be “fixed.” Vulnerability is challenging, but so is handling life challenges alone. I can help.
