Jen's Roots

Some of us knew early in our life journey that our path would be that of helping and healing. My professional years have focused mostly on clarifying strength areas and associated skill sets. I started my academic studies at the University of Cincinnati where I obtained my degrees in Psychology and Criminal Justice Corrections. Following graduation I worked on inpatient psychiatry units with a variety of individuals, most of which were youth. This experience preceded my decision to pursue my Masters in Community Counseling at UNC-Charlotte. Since that time I have been honored to work as an outpatient therapist with clients from a variety of walks of life. My broad experiences working with children, adolescents and adults in rural and urban areas, hospitals, shelters, agency settings and in private practice made it clear that to create the most optimal environment without compromise I needed to build my own practice for my clients. Rooted Therapy has empowered me to thrive as a fellow soul traveler and therapist committed to providing quality individualized and evidence based counseling services without the restraints often associated with managed care.
