There Has To Be More To Life Than Survival

Do you find yourself wishing you could escape your own mind?Do things have to feel "just right" in some way or it feels like an itch you just can't scratch?Are you constantly analyzing, anticipating problems, carrying responsibilities,and trying to hold everything together?Have you been struggling to rest; ruminating and replaying thoughts and conversations or getting stuck in loops?Do you find it hard to stay present, feeling on edge, anxious, overwhelmed or numbed out?Do you wonder how others are seemingly doing it with so much more ease somehow?Your Brain Won't Stop. Your Body Won't Rest. You are EXHAUSTED.How much longer do you want to endure this?

I see you.
I know you.
I can HELP.
(no, really I can)

My approach is collaborative and goes deeper than simply listening and offering support.
My style is warm, yet direct, facilitating real-talk conversation
grounded in clinical expertise and experience.
(yes, you can curse here) (yes, you will learn things)Many of my clients in Michigan and Florida have already tried talk therapy, self-help books, podcasts, and have strong personal insight. They don't need surface level information.They need help understanding how their patterns such as anxiety, intrusive thoughts, perfectionism, or emotional overwhelm operate in real time and practical strategies to create lasting change.
AND
They need someone they can trust who has the clinical skills and experience
to catch what is (far too often) missed in traditional therapy settings.

THERAPY DONE DIFFERENTLY

In my work, I use a blend of evidence-based approaches along with real-world examples, humor, and psychoeducation.Together, we explore how you got to where you are now, what has and hasn’t worked in the past (and why), and how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected.We also look at how trauma can shape your experiences and create internal patterns that may no longer be serving you and how healing begins to shift those patterns.Most importantly, we work on improving your relationship with yourself so you can move through life with more clarity, steadiness, and self-understanding.Many of my clients tell me they didn’t know therapy could feel like this.

About Jen:

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience in the mental health field, and I genuinely love the work I do and am grateful every day I have found my way here.I’ve worked across a range of settings, including child welfare, psychiatric inpatient and outpatient care, trauma centers, and in-home and community-based services. In 2021, I founded Holistic Healing and Consulting to create a space that reflects my own approach to therapy, one that is honest, collaborative, and deeply human.Over the years, I’ve supported people navigating trauma, childhood sexual abuse, OCD, disordered eating, psychosis, substance use, dissociation, and complex trauma. I also have specialized training and ongoing education in the treatment of OCD, dissociative disorders, and the impact of trauma on the mind-body system.What continues to stand out most in my work is witnessing the capacity people have for healing, growth, and transformation, even after having truly deeply painful or complicated experiences.I also bring my own lived experience and personal story which informs my belief that healing is never one-dimensional. Real healing requires curiosity, honesty, and space to understand both what we’ve lived through and how it continues to show up today.At the core of my work is a simple belief. Humans are doing the best we can with the resources available to us, in the moment we are in. And even in the midst of struggle, the resilience of the human spirit continues to amaze me. We are truly capable of more than we realize.Thank you for letting me step onto your path, however briefly it may be. I would be honored to learn more about your own story and how I may be a part of it going forward.
