About Jenna
Jenna has about 10 years of experience in trauma-informed care. She has worked in military and VA behavioral health, on military installations and with national healthcare organizations, including program development work, so she knows the language of service life and the specific pressures that come with deployment, transition and the years after.
She holds a Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) and is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Civilians who have lived through trauma are just as welcome on her caseload as service members and veterans.

Approach
Evidence-based trauma methods
Jenna draws on EMDR, DBT, Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and mindfulness-based methods. She will explain each option, what it asks of you, and why she thinks it may fit before you start.
Trauma work goes at a pace you can manage. Early sessions often focus on steadiness and skills, so you have something to lean on before going into harder material.
