Jenny grew up in Baltimore, Maryland and earned her master’s degree and Certificate of Advanced Studies from Towson University. After graduating, Jenny worked in the public school system as a school psychologist, where she administered psychological assessments, developed IEPs/504s, created academic and behavioral interventions, and provided counseling.

Jenny then transferred to private practice in 2021 and became a licensed therapist. She became particularly skilled in supporting clients with anxiety disorders, social skills difficulties, attentional disorders, executive functioning weaknesses, behavioral disorders, learning disorders, panic, and low self-esteem. She believes in a flexible treatment approach, as one size does not fit all. Jenny pulls from different therapeutic interventions such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), play therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness, social skills training, exposure therapy, and interpersonal resolution. She also values being part of a treatment team, which may involve collaboration with other professionals, such as school counselors, psychiatrists, occupational therapists, and pediatricians.

When working with children, she considers parents to be part of the treatment team. In addition to regular parent check-ins, she offers parent coaching sessions to help generalize skills, provide support and guidance, and strengthen the parent child relationship. Jenny utilizes her training in Gottman Level 1 and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) to provide support to parents at various stages of their parenting experience.

In addition to providing therapy, Jenny conducts comprehensive psychological and psychoeducational evaluations for children and adolescents experiencing emotional, behavioral, and learning difficulties. She uses assessment data to drive her recommendations that will support the client within the home and school setting. Jenny believes the most effective supportive approaches are ones that embrace and nurture the child’s individual strengths, while simultaneously providing support to any lagging skills.
