Jazz (she/her) is a Registered Clinical Social Work Intern from Florida Gulf Coast University with specialized certification in animal-assisted therapy. She creates transformative healing experiences by combining trauma-informed approaches with the profound connection between humans and animals. This approach resonates deeply with children, trauma survivors, and neurodivergent individuals who find comfort and trust with their animal companions.
Jazz provides culturally responsive care that honors your mind, body, and spirit. She welcomes clients from age 4 through adulthood, as well as families, creating a safe space where healing unfolds at your own pace. Her areas of focus are complex trauma and posttraumatic stress disorder recovery, sexual abuse healing, neurodiverse affirming support (ADHD, autism spectrum), dissociative disorders, domestic violence recovery, chronic illness support, grief and loss, mood disorders, OCD, borderline personality disorder, cultural identity exploration, and family healing. Jazz integrates evidence-based approaches, including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Trauma-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Somatic Therapies, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Community Resiliency Model, Experiential Therapy, mindfulness practices, attachment work, and disability accommodation consultation. Jazz believes deeply in your capacity for healing and growth. She considers it a privilege to walk alongside you on your journey toward wholeness, meeting you where you are with compassion, respect, and hope.
You’ll most likely find Jazz spending time with animals or trying a new hobby when she’s in explorer mode.
