Raising a child with a disability can be difficult, frustrating, and exhausting. At Creative Connections Counseling my approach is to help act as a coach/collaborator for parents by helping support them manage emotional and behavioral issues in a positive manner. I have over 15 years' experience working with children and adolescents with developmental and intellectual disabilities.
My special areas of interest include: autism spectrum disorders, ADHD, anxiety disorders and behavior disorders. I have extensive knowledge of schools and special education processes. I collaborate with schools and other health care professionals to provide the most effective well rounded treatment for your child.

Services
Jen primarily works with children and adolescents ages 3-18. Jen also works with adults who have disabilities. Jen uses the creative process of art therapy, play therapy and traditional "talk" therapy. By using art and play therapy, these methods allow for individuals to express themselves in ways they may not be able to using traditional "talk" therapy.
Jen uses a variety of methods, such as art therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and play therapy to help children, adolescents, and adults express their feelings and deal with daily life challenges. Jen provides individual and group therapy. Art Therapy is a form of psychotherapy, which is a process of deepening self-awareness and discovering or rediscovering one's internal power to overcome life's difficulties.
