I provide a non-bias, non-judgmental atmosphere, and supportive atmosphere. I utilize a variety of different theories and techniques including CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, Rapid Trauma Resolution, solution-focused therapy, positive psychology, family and couples counseling, and more.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Reviewed May 2023

Genna and I started off on the right foot. She was caring and listened to my issues while giving ne meaningful work to address outside of our meetings. It felt like she truly cared about my well-being, and I was happy to see what a few more months would bring. When we started getting into more sensitive parts of my past, We had some differences with our schedule. One week, Genna misunderstood my comments and was a no-show to one of our meetings and another week. I answered her too late and missed a slot. At this point, Jenna was all too quick to give up on our sessions. Meanwhile, my past was now on the center of my mind while I was dealing with an influx of new incoming problems, and having my therapist give up on me was not a great feeling. She did not want to continue our sessions which made me feel like she did not care about helping me improve overall . I have found myself really frustrated with this and tried to come up with better solution, I suggested what if we meet at the same time on a weekly basis or what else could I do in order to keep her as my therapist, but she had no interest in doing so. She even said there was no need to go back and forth and she had a waitlist. It made me feel like a number. My only complaint would be that it did not seem like her care was enduring but If your schedule is more open, and you are more willing to adapt to her you will be in a better position than I was. Like I said she is a great listener and will give you meaningful work if you are willing to put it in. I would only wish her and her clients luck in the future!

Genna has been an amazing therapist, and supported me to transform my life. I had worked with a few therapists before her and struggled to find a something that worked for me. Genna, kind, caring attitude combined with a straightforwardness, really supported me to help me reflect on parts of my life that needed to change, and I felt she was forward enough to address certain behaviors that I didn't really want to acknowledge myself. I have never worked with someone who was so easy to talk to, if your thinking about finding a counselor who's responsive, caring, and professional, Genna is #1. Thanks Genna for helping me to change my life!
