Jen is completing her Psy.D. in clinical psychology at the Wright Institute and holds graduate degrees in global health and international studies from the University of Washington. She identifies as a first-generation college and graduate student and a white, heterosexual, cisgender woman strongly allied with the LGBTQ+ community. Originally from New York, Jen relocated to the West Coast in 2018 and has lived, worked, and studied in multiple countries throughout her life. She approaches psychology from a multicultural, integrative perspective and frequently incorporates techniques from time-limited dynamic psychotherapy (TLDP), narrative therapy, and third-wave cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) frameworks into her work.

Jen has a variety of clinical interests, including depressive disorders, self-harm and suicidality, substance use disorders, and mindfulness. She has experience supporting individuals through different stages of life, ranging from adolescence to older adulthood, and has worked in school settings, community mental health clinics, and college counseling centers. Jen enjoys helping students navigate relationships, manage responsibilities, and explore their unique cultural identities and values. She specializes in working with former foster youth and first-generation college students.
