Hi, I'm Jen.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Northfield, Illinois, and I've spent more than twenty years sitting with women on Chicago's North Shore through the chapters that don't go according to plan.
I work primarily with women navigating anxiety, parenting struggles, divorce/relationship issues and the many transitions that come with being a woman. I have a particular interest in supporting women through midlife and perimenopause/menopause, when changes in your body, your relationships, your identity, and your sense of self can leave you wondering, what is happening to me?
Our sessions are genuine connection mixed with a little humor, direct feedback, and real, action-oriented solutions you can apply in ways that feel right for you. Therapy is your chance to slow down, focus on yourself, and receive the same care and compassion you so often give to everyone else. My hope is that you leave feeling heard, empowered, and more connected to the person you are today — not just the roles you fill.
Reaching out for help takes real courage, and trusting someone with what's hardest is a genuine leap. I don't take that lightly. Walking alongside you through a difficult stretch is the part of this work I consider a privilege.
