Hi, I’m Jenn! For more than 25 years, Richmond has been my home. It’s where I’ve raised my family, built lasting relationships, and learned just how powerful community can be. Connection means everything to me, and that deep-rooted sense of belonging shapes the way I show up as an art therapist and counselor at Bliss Integrative Health.

I work with people 16 and up who are feeling stuck: people starting over after illness, loss, or grief, people who keep having the same argument and are tired of hearing themselves say it, and young people navigating life after their parents’ divorce. Together we’ll build practical, real-life skills to help you regulate your nervous system, and we’ll gently work through trauma, old wounds, and attachment patterns that may have been running the show for too long.

We start with a thorough intake that looks at the whole you: your medical, psychological, and social history, your relationships, and your goals. Then I’ll ask the big question: where do you want to be? From there, we figure out the how together. I’m a person-centered, client-led therapist, which means you’re in the driver’s seat, and I’m always happy to switch gears if something isn’t clicking. I believe you already have your own answers. Sometimes you just need help finding your way back to yourself, hearing your own voice again, and reclaiming your agency and autonomy.

I also deeply value group creative therapy. Creating alongside others builds belonging, shared understanding, and growth, and sometimes a group can reach therapeutic goals that individual therapy doesn’t achieve alone.

My therapeutic style is a lot like my art: warm, eclectic, collaborative, and grounded in genuine curiosity. Therapy should honor your experiences, your strengths, and your pace. And you don’t need to consider yourself an artist to benefit from creative therapy. All it takes is a willingness to explore what might be possible.
