Meet Jenny

I’ve had the privilege of supporting children and families in Iowa since 2015. I believe every child deserves a space where they feel safe, understood, and connected.

My goal is to create a warm, trusting environment, where children can explore their feelings, build skills, and grow at their own pace through playful, individualized therapy.
