02 · In Jenna's own words

What Jenna says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

As a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Wisconsin, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice focuses on addressing anxiety, stress, addiction, family dynamics, and life transitions. I offer compassionate, evidence-based support for challenges including social anxiety, trauma recovery, mood disorders, and body image concerns.

My approach is deeply client-centered, emphasizing individual strengths and personal growth. I'm committed to creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their experiences and develop meaningful coping strategies. Whether you're struggling with obsessive thoughts, experiencing life changes, or working through interpersonal challenges, I'm dedicated to walking alongside you in your healing journey.

I bring a progressive, inclusive perspective to therapy, with expertise in addressing issues related to discrimination, women's experiences, and diverse personal challenges. My goal is to empower clients to build resilience, self-understanding, and emotional well-being.

03 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Jenna practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Jenna's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

  1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

    BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Jenna at this point.

  2. Naming Jenna specifically

    BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Jenna is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Jenna.

  3. If the caseload is full

    You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

  4. The first conversation

    A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

  5. If the fit is wrong

    Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

04 · Before you commit

2 questions worth asking Jenna

Built from what Jenna actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Jenna's - Jenna has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.

  • “How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”

    Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.

  • “How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”

    On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

Where every line on this page came from

Jenna's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Jenna. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
