Have you been feeling lonely or struggling with feelings of depression or anxiety? Perhaps you find yourself stuck in life circumstances or choices, unable to see a way out. Therapy can provide the safe space you need to start exploring your emotions, getting curious about life's challenges, and deepening your understanding of what motivates yourself and others. Ultimately, therapy can be the beginning of a meaningful relationship with yourself, supporting you in creating tangible and lasting changes in your life.
Now is the time to embrace healing and learn to utilize new tools that can bring about positive changes in your life, and help you discover your own potential for growth and healing.
JENNIFER CARLSON
I am a trauma-informed, psychodynamic therapist who integrates talk therapy, mindfulness and a somatic lense in my process with adolescents, individuals and couples. I am certified practitioner in EMDR, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Inner Relationship Focusing (IRF), and Somatic Experiencing (SE), as well as a trained couples and sex therapist.
My approach involves the integration of a developmental lens, while tracking the nervous system and facilitating the safe release of both significant and subtle experiences held in the body, while also supporting the body’s natural healing processes. We will deepen your somatic awareness using a body-up lens inviting curiosity into the ways your body holds experiences that may stem from past and present traumas, or the from the daily stressors of life.

Are you feeling lost, overwhelmed, or stuck? Individual counseling sessions offer a sanctuary for you to explore your inner world. Here, you can uncover the roots of anxiety, depression, or trauma, and embark on a healing journey towards reclaiming your sense of self and courage to face life's transitions with resilience and clarity.
Is your relationship facing challenges that seem insurmountable? In our couples counseling sessions, you'll learn to bridge communication gaps, heal emotional wounds, and rediscover the joy of connection. Together, we can work towards rebuilding a foundation of trust, intimacy, and mutual understanding, strengthening the bond between you and your partner.
Facing the world as a young individual can be daunting. Adolescent counseling provides a welcoming space where you can express your thoughts and feelings openly, explore your identity, and tackle issues like self-esteem, academic stress, and relationships. Here, you'll find support as you navigate life's hurdles with confidence and develop a strong sense of self.
Jungian Dream Work
I also weave in my background in Jungian Depth Psychology with a particular interest in dream work and the integration of shadow work, and archetypes into our therapeutic process.
​
As we work together I aspire to be curious and supportive as you identify & explore uncomfortable feelings, discordant self-beliefs, or painful relational dynamics that are keeping you from having more meaningful, enlivened, and loving connections to yourself and others.
