Currently pursuing her Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a concentration in Dance/Movement Therapy at Rider University, Jenna's journey reflects a deep-rooted passion for helping others through innovative therapeutic approaches.
Jenna's path to becoming a mental health professional is as inspiring as it is unconventional.

Her counseling philosophy is deeply rooted in a strength-based approach, viewing each individual as possessing infinite potential. This perspective allows Jenna to connect with clients from a place of abundance rather than deficit, fostering an environment where personal growth and self-discovery can flourish.

Jenna's therapeutic style is holistic and person-centered, complemented by her specialized training in Dance/Movement Therapy. This integrative approach allows her to address the multifaceted nature of her clients' experiences, considering the intricate connections between mind, body, and soul. By incorporating movement and creative expression into her practice, Jenna offers a dynamic and engaging therapeutic experience that goes beyond traditional talk therapy.
Throughout her internship, Jenna has gained valuable experience working with a diverse range of clients, including children, adolescents, and adults in an outpatient mental health setting. This exposure has broadened her understanding of various mental health challenges and honed her ability to tailor her approach to meet the unique needs of each individual.
As a Clinical Intern at The Calm Space, Jenna is dedicated to providing a supportive and understanding environment where clients can feel truly seen and heard. Her journey from performing arts professional to mental health counselor equips her with a unique set of skills to help individuals navigate their personal challenges and uncover their inner strengths.
