Hi, my name is Jillian!
I am so glad you are here! Taking the first step toward therapy can feel vulnerable, and I want you to know that you’re in the right place. I’m dedicated to creating a warm, welcoming, and affirming space where you can feel safe, understood, and supported. I believe that you are the expert of your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you as you move toward healing, growth, and self-understanding.
Approach to Therapy
​
I specialize in supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, trauma, and much more. I bring experience from working with children, teens, adults, and parents, helping families strengthen communication, build coping skills, and navigate life’s challenges together. I’m also passionate about supporting LGBTQ+ clients as they explore identity, self-acceptance, and authenticity.
​
My therapy style is warm, laid-back, and collaborative, while gently challenging you to notice patterns, consider new perspectives, and lean into growth. I integrate mindfulness, values-based reflection/identification, and trauma-informed practices to help you connect with yourself and the things that truly matter to you, while also utilizing tools from evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and more.

Fun facts about me
​
Outside of therapy sessions, you’ll often find me reading, listening to music, gaming, watching TV/movies, or spending time with my cats, Honey and Maple!
​
I look forward to meeting you!
