About me

Hello- My name is Jena and I am a licensed therapist in Iowa with 11 years of professional work experience.
Sometimes life is just hard. Sometimes feelings don't make sense or seem overwhelming. Sometimes having someone to help you figure things out can help you to start feeling better.
I believe that you are the expert of your own story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

Jena is great at reaching out and responding to me. She listens to me and is understanding. I love how she will message with me so even when I can't meet with her I can still reach out and even just rant when needed.

Jena actively listens and asks questions about how I'm feeling. She remembers what I say and sends me information and helps me get through what I'm dealing with.

She is absolutely amazing, I have switched therapists multiple times. Yet Jena makes me feel safe and comfortable to confide in her! 10/10

Jena is responsive, understanding and very polite. I can’t really ask for much more. It’s my responsibility to fix the true issues. But she has been a welcoming help in the process

Jena helps me feel heard. She listens, validates and offers valuable feedback. She asks insightful questions and helps me see a different perspective. She is attentive, non-judgmental and accepting.
I am pleased with my experience with Better Help and specifically Jena. Highly recommend.
