About Jenn:
I am a licensed school psychologist and Reiki practitioner from Boulder, Colorado. I work with families and schools to improve well-being, strengthen relationships, and help children develop healthy emotional and behavioral functioning.
While my passion has always been rooted in mental health, my work weaves together evidence-based care with alternative modalities, creating an approach that honors both science and the mystical.
I’m inspired by Carl Jung, Anaïs Nin, mythology, shadow and light, vintage photography, Monet’s winter art, surrealism, sunlight on water, fresh-cut fruit, playing with clay, etc! Above all, I’m drawn to living a meaningful and vibrant life, and enjoy helping others do the same.

Specialties:
I specialize in helping the family ecosystem thrive. I place strong emphasis on perinatal mental health, early attachment, behavior challenges, & life transitions. With ten years of experience working with children and families, a doctorate degree in school psychology, and additional training in perinatal mental health, my work is grounded in evidence based care. Education & Certifications.
Therapeutic Approach:
My work integrates Love and Logic with research on nervous system regulation, attachment, and neuroscience. Through this, children learn to hold two truths at once: they are unconditionally worthy of love and belonging, and they are responsible for their choices.
This balance means warmth without rescuing, boundaries without shame, choice with responsibility, and respect rather than control; helping children develop confidence, accountability, emotional regulation, and resilience.
Because past experiences can continue to shape how the brain and body respond to stress, lasting change often begins by helping the nervous system experience safety. Depending on your needs, therapy may incorporate somatic practices, creative expression, parent-child work, and other evidence-informed interventions.
Philosophy:
In addition to asking "what's happening?" or even "what happened?" we explore deeper questions, such as: What patterns keep repeating? How has your experience shaped your identity? What is this experience inviting you to transform? What wound is asking to be healed?
As adults, lasting change happens when we understand the stories we've inherited, recognize the patterns that no longer serve us, and begin practicing new ways of relating. First to ourselves and then to one another.
First and foremost, healing is rooted in connection. Connection to people that matter deeply, community, nature, purpose, and the various parts of ourselves. It isn't always linear. Sometimes it's uncomfortable, sometimes it's surprisingly simple, and sometimes it feels like a long-awaited exhale. If you would like to work together, I’d be honored to support you.
