oh hey there.
I'm Jenna.
i know what it's like to struggle with ocd and anxiety.
Only a couple of years ago, I was right where you are. Just like you, I wanted to get rid of my scary thoughts. I had a lot of research and clinical experience under my belt. Then I had an intrusive thought that made me feel like my brain broke.
I'm here with over 16 years of clinical, research, and now personal experience to tell you everything I know about OCD, anxiety, and how to get your life back using evidence based concepts like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP).
Say hello to a bold, beautiful life you can enjoy again without being so afraid.
all from an authentic, real therapist who seriously gets it.
I've learned from world-renowned experts in how to help people overcome tricky recovery barriers. I can help you understand and improve difficulties like mental compulsions, difficulty tolerating uncertainty, your anxiety or obsessive theme bouncing around like "whack a mole", and so much more, so that you can be more present in every day life.
I have years of experience specifically working with complex cases. Mental compulsions, treatment resistance, rumination, perfectionism of treatment, comorbid conditions - these are just some of the nuances I love to work with and would love to help YOU! understand more - whether you're someone with OCD and anxiety, a loved one, or a professional.
What I’m known for:
Loving hard on my son, Eli, my husband, Nick, and my two dogs, Asic and Emmett.
Being a complete nerd when it comes to business, calligraphy, poetry, and art.
Hosting the "All The Hard Things" podcast (in the top 1% of podcasts globally, BTW!)
Teaching these concepts in a way that's relatable, helpful, "no BS", and motivating.
