Welcome to My Practice – A Safe Space for Healing and Growth
Welcome to my practice, where healing begins, and growth flourishes. My name is Jena and I am a dedicated psychotherapist specializing in the treatment of eating disorders and complex trauma. My approach to therapy is grounded in compassion, respect, and a deep commitment to supporting you on your journey towards healing and self-discovery.
My Specializations
With extensive training and experience, I specialize in working with individuals who are navigating the challenges of eating disorders and trauma. These areas of focus are often deeply intertwined, and I am here to help you untangle the complexities and find a path forward that honors your unique experience.
I am a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, which means that I help my clients reconnect with their body’s natural cues and develop a healthier, more intuitive relationship with food. This approach is grounded in the principles of Health at Every Size (HAES), which rejects the diet culture and instead focuses on well-being, self-compassion, and respect for all body sizes.
In addition to my work with eating disorders, I am deeply committed to helping those who have experienced complex trauma. Trauma can manifest in many ways, and I use a variety of therapeutic modalities, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and inner child work, to support my clients in processing and healing from their past experiences.
My Approach
At the heart of my practice is a trauma-informed, client-centered approach. I believe that you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you as you explore, heal, and grow. My therapeutic style is warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental, creating a safe space where you can feel truly seen and heard.
Intuitive Eating and HAES are integral parts of my practice because they align with my belief in the importance of treating the whole person – mind, body, and spirit. These approaches help my clients break free from the cycles of restriction and guilt, allowing them to embrace a more joyful and peaceful relationship with food and their bodies.
