Jenna started Daylily Counseling in 2023 combining her passions for therapy and working with women and young adults. At Daylily Counseling Jenna has focused experience on supporting clients through life transitions such as graduating from high school or college, caring for aging loved ones, relationship or friend break-ups, and career or job changes. She also has specialized experience and interest in working with new mothers during pregnancy and postpartum through the fourth trimester as well as working with individuals impacted by varied medical challenges or navigating medical systems due to chronic pain or illnesses and medically complex diagnoses.

She has experience working with individuals diagnosed with Anxiety, Depression, Phobias, Panic disorder, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and Adjustment Disorders.

Jenna is also passionate about working with individuals who have experienced trauma and is trained and experienced in delivering Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT). She has significant experience providing services to immigrant and refugee youth and young adults who have experienced trauma in their home countries or along their migration journeys, including providing psychological affidavits and support through immigration court proceedings. Her experiences with clients from around the world have informed her approach to cultural humility in the therapy space as well as her unwavering belief in every individual's capacity to heal and to grow. Jenna also enjoys working with providers in the helping professions who may be managing the impacts of secondary traumatic stress or are seeking consultation or supervision.

Jenna’s approach combines strengths-based, client-centered, and cognitive-behavioral strategies. She believes every individual is the expert in their own life and in meeting individuals where they are. She works together with her clients to collaboratively develop a treatment plan and she hopes to create a therapeutic space where there is warmth and safety so that she can best support clients to build insight, problem solve, and take steps to heal and create change in their lives.
