The therapeutic relationship is very important to me as I believe that the space between us is where we can explore all the things that need to be explored.

Made me feel comfortable from the start- got me out of my comfort zone in a good way that is helping me grow and learn a lot about myself and the situations I go through in life.

Jenna makes me feel very comfortable to talk to her about things that are bothering me. She has been great at listening and helping me with my emotions and feelings, and giving me new coping skills that help me with the struggles that I am having. I feel very confident in her knowledge. Sometimes it’s hard to think about where I was when I first started meeting with her and where I am now. It’s like the difference between night and day. I owe this change to her positive and supportive interactions.

Jenna does a great job of patiently listening to your issues, and helping you gain the tools to solve your own problems through providing thought-provoking insights that push you to confront your thoughts/feelings.

Jenna has been very insightful. She has been able to pull some things out of me that I did not realize. The best part about our first few sessions is she has given me permission to not feel guilty. To put it all aside and just focus on me. I have not been able to do that in years. I look forward to my weekly sessions with her. The time for myself and to visit with her gives me hope which is what I am needing right now.

Talking with Jenna is easy. I appreciate that she listens and responds compared to previous therapy sessions I've had where i felt like i just talked and got zero feedback from my therapist. She checks in here and there too besides just the appointment calls
