I am an integrative psychotherapist with a private practice in Chicagoland. As a body-inclusive practitioner, my clinical work is grounded in somatic psychotherapy and emphasizes the healing capacity of the mind-body-spirit connection.
I hold a Masters degree in Community Counseling from Loyola University Chicago and a Masters degree in Teaching from Webster University. I've supplemented my education with post-graduate training in trauma, somatics, equine-assisted psychotherapy, and neuroscience.
I received my doctoral degree in clinical psychology from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology, where I began my specialization in trauma and relational therapy. I have worked with individuals, families, couples, children, and adolescents in a variety of settings, including Hartgrove Hospital, Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center, Community Reach Center, located in Denver, CO, as well as private/group practices in both the city of Chicago and surrounding suburbs.
I offer individual and sex therapy via telehealth for adults all over Illinois.
My areas of specialization include sexuality and gender exploration and affirmation, building strong and ethical nonmonogamous relationships, addressing anxiety and avoidance, and developing confidence communicating desires, feelings and boundaries.
Hi there, Jenny here! I believe therapy is about learning how to bend without breaking. I specialize in working with individuals and couples facing trauma, chronic stress, and high-demand roles like military, first responder, high level executives AND those that care for them. These are the people that are usually holding it all together for others!
I have a special connection to these populations as an Air Force brat, Air Force Veteran, and Air Force Spouse - quite literally not a day of my life untouched by the military! I have more than 20 years' experience working with children, youth, families and couples around their life challenges and transitions.

My goal is to leverage my unique clinical background to help you build resilience and find your footing in a supportive, collaborative environment.
