Jenn has several years experience working in Community Mental Health with children, adolescents, adults, families and couples with a variety of social and emotional challenges.
Jenn works in a client centered manner and tailors treatment to fit individual needs and interests. Her main objective is to create a safe space for clients to explore themselves, the systems in which they live, and their resiliency to overcome trauma and meet challenges with more ease, empowerment, and lightheartedness.
Jenn is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, a member of the North American Drama Therapy Association, and is currently training to be certified in Developmental Transformations, a form of embodied spontaneous play therapy. Her Lesley University graduate education is in Expressive Therapies with a speciality in drama therapy and psychodrama, giving her skills to work with populations that find traditional talk therapy less accessible. And if traditional talk therapy is more appropriate; she also has several years experience in this as well. Jenn often combines traditional therapy methods with expressive, playful, creative, and somatic approaches to help bolster emotional awareness, repertoire, and transformation as well as foster self advocacy, self esteem and relational skills. This year Jenn had the opportunity to volunteer with healthcare providers from all over to globe to deliver care to a remote, underprivileged community in the Amazon. Before becoming a therapist, Jenn was a teacher.
