How I work with Clients...

THERAPY WITH JOLENE

If you feel overwhelmed, anxious, exhausted from overthinking or over-functioning, on edge, or unsure how to move forward after stress, trauma, or harm, there is hope for experiencing life differently.
My approach to therapy offers a nonjudgmental space to work through confusion, pain (emotional/relational/spiritual), a lost sense of self, and the weight of carrying too much for too long.
I work with adults who want practical support and deeper healing. Using an integrative approach, I bring together effective trauma modalities, like EMDR and Brainspotting, with body-based and emotionally-focused work to undo trauma and stress held in the body and restore your nervous system.
Along the way, you can also work with me to develop skills for navigating difficult thoughts and emotions, developing deeper connections (to self, others and God*), strengthening relationships, setting boundaries, and responding to hard circumstances with more clarity and calm.
Sharing your story can feel challenging and scary or relieving. We'll go at a pace that supports you and your body.
Christian Faith Integration*
As a trauma and coercive-control specialized therapist, I work with clients who have been impacted by spiritual and emotional abuse, or coercive control, particularly in faith related contexts.
My work supports clients who have been hurt and harmed in faith communities, including religious trauma, whether they are members, former members, or on staff. If this is part of your story, I offer space for you to untangle, untwist, and work through the (often devastating) impact of what you've been through.
I am a Christian and a therapist who offers space for untangling destructive experiences and weaponized faith.
If you are interested in integrating Christian faith with your therapy work, please reach out so we can discuss what that looks like for you and how we can work together.
*Integrating faith-based work is available for clients upon request.
