Jazz (she/her) has professional certifications in animal-assisted and mindfulness-based interventions. You’ll be warmly greeted by Finn, her current therapy dog and co-therapist-in-training, when he’s “on-duty.” Together, they create transformative healing through the power of the human-animal bond. Children, trauma survivors, and neurodivergent individuals often discover a unique sense of safety and trust through animal connections that can be harder to find elsewhere.
Expertise in complex trauma and PTSD, sexual abuse recovery, neurodivergent-affirming support (ADHD, autism, OCD, SPD), dissociative disorders, domestic violence recovery, chronic illness, medication management assistance (with active provider), perinatal, grief, mood disorders, behavioral management, cultural identity exploration, and family healing. She integrates evidence-based approaches extensively involving Internal Family Systems (IFS), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT), Somatic Therapy, Polyvagal-Informed Therapy, Experiential Therapy (art, play, sand, animal-assisted, movement), Mindfulness-Based Interventions, Attachment Work, and Accessibility. Serving individuals and families for the last decade, Jazz believes deeply in your capacity for healing and growth. She creates a nurturing, validating space where you can engage your senses, reconnect with the present moment, and move forward at your own pace. Through inclusive care, she honors all of you.
When she’s not in session, Jazz is outside with her animals or relaxing with her spouse. She fuels her passion for this work through intentional spirituality, self-care, good food, and authentic connection.
