Hi, I’m Jillian. Therapy is a space where you deserve to feel seen, supported, and empowered to be your full self. My approach is person-centered—you are the expert on your experience. I gently challenge clients to deepen insight, shift patterns, and reconnect with their values. I’m here to walk alongside you with compassion and curiosity on your journey toward healing, growth, and deeper self-awareness.
My work is grounded in affirming, anti-oppressive, and trauma-informed care. I have experience working with diverse populations with a wide range of emotional, relational, and mental health concerns. I strive to create an inclusive space for clients of all identities and backgrounds, with a focus on LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, and BIPOC-affirming care. I approach therapy through a person-in-environment lens, acknowledging how systemic forces shape our experiences and holding space that is non-stigmatizing, compassionate, and culturally humble.
I integrate a range of evidence-based approaches, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), trauma-informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). I also incorporate somatic and mindfulness-based practices, centering the mind-body connection as part of a holistic approach.
Whether you're navigating mental health diagnoses, relationship challenges, trauma, identity exploration, or life transitions, I welcome you just as you are. I would be honored to support you.

Treatment Approach
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) Helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them, while committing to actions that reflect their values. It blends mindfulness with practical behavior strategies.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Combines CBT with mindfulness to help regulate emotions, tolerate stress, and build stronger relationships. Originally designed for borderline personality disorder, it’s now used more broadly.
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Focuses on strengthening emotional bonds in couples or families. It helps people identify negative cycles and create more secure connections.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
- Somatic Therapy Helps clients notice how emotions are stored in the body. It uses breath, movement, and awareness for healing trauma and stress.
