Jazz (she/her) is a Registered Clinical Social Work Intern with specialized certifications in animal-assisted and mindfulness-based interventions. You’ll be warmly greeted by Luka, her specially trained therapy dog and trusted co-therapist. Together, they create transformative healing through the powerful bond between humans and animals. 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.
Jazz specializes in complex trauma and PTSD, sexual abuse recovery, neurodivergent-affirming support (ADHD, autism, OCD, SPD), dissociative disorders, domestic violence recovery, chronic illness, grief and loss, mood disorders, behavioral management, cultural identity exploration, and family healing. She integrates evidence-based approaches, including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT), Somatic Therapy, Experiential Therapy (art, play, sand, animal-assisted, movement), Mindfulness-Based Interventions, Attachment Work, and Disability Accommodation Consultation. Serving individuals ages 5 through adulthood and couples of all kinds, Jazz believes deeply in your capacity for healing and growth. She creates a safe, welcoming space where you can engage your senses, reconnect with the present moment, and move forward at your own pace. Through culturally responsive care, she honors your mind, body, and spirit.
When she’s not in session, Jazz finds joy in the company of animals, from barn days with horses to time with her two beloved pets. She fuels her passion for this work through intentional spirituality, self-care, good food, and authentic connection.
