Welcome! I’m Jeannie, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in working with teens, young adults and new parents who are struggling with anxiety, depression and adjustment issues.

I am so glad you’ve found my website and are considering therapy for yourself or your loved one, as this is a huge first step. Finding the right therapist can be confusing and frustrating, especially when you or your loved one is going through a difficult time. A strong therapeutic alliance is the foundation of therapy, and finding the right therapist is crucial.

I specialize in therapy for young people who are experiencing anxiety and depression. I use evidence-based treatments to help you or your loved one manage symptoms. I help my younger clients work through the many trials and adjustments that come with growing up, and I work with young adults who are experiencing periods of transition and who often describe themselves as stressed out and overwhelmed. I help new and expecting mothers & fathers who are struggling with a perinatal mood disorder, or simply need support while adjusting to parenthood. Whether you are seeking support for yourself, or for your loved one, I’m here to help you through these difficult times and empower you with therapeutic tools that will last you a lifetime.

I work with clients experiencing a variety of issues including:

• Anxiety

• Depression & suicidal ideation

• Adjustment issues

• Family conflict

• Low self-esteem 

• Relationship issues

• Grief & Loss

• Self-harm behaviors

• Drug use/abuse 

• Bullying

• Trauma 

Together we’ll explore what brought you to therapy in the first place, but we’ll also go beyond that. You’ll learn new ways to understand and solve your problems and develop healthy coping mechanisms so that you’ll be equipped to care for your mental well-being in the long term.

What To Expect From Therapy 

My approach to therapy is not a one-size-fits-all approach. I use a combination of goal-oriented therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). These modalities of therapy will help you gather coping skills needed for managing your mental health.

I see our time together as valuable, strategic time. While I provide space for self-exploration, my approach is to ensure you are well equipped with ways to manage symptoms when you leave my office. Together, we’ll identify the right tools to implement into your specific situation. Then we’ll practice and reflect on these strategies so you can continue to successfully use these tools in the future.

As we get to know each other, you’ll find that I’m caring, compassionate, and nonjudgemental but I’m also straightforward and honest. It’s important to me to establish a connection with you through a strong therapeutic relationship. The most important thing to me is to help you feel better, be able to lead a fulfilling life, and not get stuck or held back due to anxiety or depression.

Parents- I can help your teen work through difficulties with anxiety, depression, and the big life transitions that come with adolescence. 

Young adults- my therapeutic services will benefit you as you work through life transitions, relationship problems, depression, anxiety, and other challenges related to your mental health.

My experience working at several hospitals with individuals of all ages has enabled me to help those in crisis. This is especially helpful when working with clients going through a particularly tumultuous time. I do work with people demonstrating severe symptoms of depression and anxiety, but if you are in crisis, please call 911 and/or go to your nearest emergency room.

Whatever you’re going through, I’m here to help.
