Trauma Recovery Through Mind-Body Healing
You’ve been holding it all together for years — but inside, you feel like you’re falling apart.
You keep it together — because if you don’t, who will?
You wake up already overwhelmed. You power through work, caregiving, family stuff, a thousand to-dos — all while feeling like you’re barely holding it together inside.
You cry in the car or on your lunch break and then wipe your face and keep going.
You lie awake at night scrolling, trying to quiet the buzzing in your brain.
You say yes when you want to say no.
You laugh off things that actually hurt.
You second-guess yourself constantly.
And relationships? Whether it’s with your partner, your parent, your kid, or your boss — you keep ending up in the same spot: misunderstood, overextended, emotionally tapped out.
You’ve probably wondered:
Why do I feel like this?
Why can’t I just be happy?
What’s wrong with me?
The answer?
Nothing. Nothing is wrong with you.
You’re a human being who’s been carrying way too much for way too long — probably since childhood.
Hi, I’m Jennifer. I’ve been there too.
I’m a therapist, Brainspotting practitioner, and the founder of Rooted Counseling & Wellness.
But I’m also a woman who’s had to do some serious healing of her own.
I know what it’s like to normalize dysfunction.
To bury emotions, overachieve, people-please, and feel like falling apart isn't an option.
I know how old pain can sneak into present-day life — in relationships, in parenting, in how we treat ourselves.
As a single mom, I’ve had to learn how to be emotionally available for my child and for myself — without falling into the old pattern of putting everyone else first all the time.
I’ve done the work.
Therapy cracked me open.
Somatic yoga helped me come back to my body.
And Brainspotting helped me access parts of myself I didn’t even know were buried — and finally let go.
I bring all of that into the room with my clients:
Not because I have all the answers, but because I understand what it takes to stop surviving and start actually living.
This is therapy that gets to the root.
I work with women who are tired of talking themselves in circles.
They don’t just want coping skills — they want to understand why they feel the way they do and actually heal it at the root.
Using somatic therapy, Brainspotting, and nervous system work, I help you:
Feel less anxious and more grounded in your day-to-day life
Understand how your past is showing up in your present — and what to do about it
Set boundaries without guilt
Stop living on autopilot
Heal your relationship with your body, your emotions, and your self-worth
You don’t have to explain everything perfectly. You don’t have to earn this space.
You just have to show up — exactly as you are.
🐾 Meet Sidney — Your Four-Legged Co-Therapist
Sidney is my Australian Shepherd and certified therapy dog — and honestly, she’s kind of the star of the show around here. With her calm energy, soulful eyes, and gentle presence, Sidney has a way of helping clients feel grounded, safe, and seen (without saying a word).
She’s especially gifted at knowing when someone needs a little extra comfort — whether that’s a quiet presence nearby or a soft nudge for a head rub. She’s always optional, never pushy, and totally on board with boundaries (even if it means napping in the corner instead).
If you’re a dog person, she’ll probably become one of your favorite parts of therapy.
And if you’re not? No worries — she’s happy to hang back and let you lead.
