At this time, J offers personalized, person-centered psychotherapy and somatic therapy services designed specifically to support individuals in their homes. Her practice specializes in assisting people navigating hoarding behaviors and other patterns or habits that may no longer serve their wellbeing. Somatic therapy, which focuses on the connection between mind and body, can support healing and lasting change in ways traditional talk therapy alone might not. J is committed to providing compassionate care tailored to each individual's unique experiences, extending beyond the limitations of insurance-driven treatment. Please note: some services may not be covered by insurance.

In general, J is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who in addition to providing tele-psychotherapy currently provides wrap around services connecting families with a vast variety of community partnerships and providing psychotherapy for adolescents and their families within the Capitol District. 

J believes in meeting and starting with the client where they are at, harm reduction, somatic therapy, systems perspective, internal family systems (parts therapy), client centered approach, using empirically proven treatment methods- adapting them to the individual, and empowering each client to gain and internalize the tools to create and reach their own goals. J has also always been the biggest cheerleader for the underdog. 

J started her journey to become a Social Worker at the age of 18 when she found herself living in a women’s shelter in Troy, NY. It was there that a Social Worker taught her the tools to succeed with any goal she wanted to achieve, and to undo years of not loving herself. 

Over the past 20 years J has worked with adolescents, families, persons with developmental disabilities, persons with pervasive and persistent mental illness, members of the LGBTQ community, and families of all make ups. 

When J has down time, she finds peace in laughing until it hurts, sitting on the porch watching her chickens with her daughter, finding beauty in nature, and DIY projects.
