Hi! I’m Jenn.
Your NOT Traditional Therapist.
“When life gives you lemons, uproot that damn lemon tree that’s growing in your house.”
I am not in the business of creating forever clients. I only want to be in your life long enough to empower you to make decisions that are right for you.
For this Whistle-Blowing Shrink, I spent 15 years practicing the Gold Standard Western Model of mental health treatment: therapy + psychiatric medication = guaranteed success.
In this space, cognitive behavioral therapy became the “catch-all” cure; trauma is the cause of all symptoms; therapeutic outcomes are better with med-harmed brains; normal human responses are pathologized, and accurately labeling clients with major mental illnesses from the DSM, revered.
No matter how perfectly I followed the Western therapy protocols, clients continued to receive little relief from anxiety, depression, grief, and addiction.
By 2022, I had enough of the bullsh*T model and burnout had taken its toll.
My adrenals were shot, lifestyle unsustainable, and clients weren’t getting better.
I knew I wouldn’t make it to the state retirement finish line. BUT - my tenacious inquisition knew there was more to healing.
I decided to open a private practice where I could offer a more holistic and integrative approach to therapy, focusing on optimizing brain health, empowering internal agency and not creating forever clients.
Fewer labels and more functional medicine became my new gold standard of care.
As a therapist and neuro-health expert, I blend traditional therapy with integrative medicine by creating personalized lifestyle plans focused on balancing The Big 4: nutrition, sleep, movement, and meditation.
Optimizing neurotransmitter functioning, empowering inner agency and deprescribing your lifestyle IS the standard of care.
This is not habit formation but rather addressing the root cause of depression, fatigue and inattention by uprooting that damn lemon tree in your house.

"The difference between yoga and medicine is that medicine is like saying everything is wrapped around an external locus of control. So the doctor heals you, the medicines heal you, the nurses heal you, but you don't have any agency in your own health."
