The Path Forward doesn’t have to be scary.
Having the whole world in front of you…
It’s terrifying!
Being a teen is hard.
There are so many expectations to carry – from parents, teachers, peers, and society.
Making the grades or performing well on the team, so you don’t let your parents down, or so you can get into college. Not to mention all of your own hopes and dreams.
Conflict at home and tension within the family only add to the pressure.
You need to feel accepted but worry about how to fit in with peers. It’s stressful and confusing.
“How do I know what I want if you don’t even know who I am?”
You’re still trying to figure life out.
Being a young adult doesn’t feel easier.
Now you’re experiencing a new level of responsibilities – and you don’t feel prepared for most of them!
You’ve moved on past high school and are trying to find your way. Trying to meet society’s timeline of starting a career, being in a relationship, buying a house, having children… it’s overwhelming.
Figuring out what you want is hard enough. Figuring out how to get it is daunting.
Why does life have to be a series of checkboxes?
It seems like others have it together – more than you do.
“What am I missing? What am I doing wrong?”
Uncertainty is overwhelming.
The fear of disappointing others is immobilizing.
Wondering if those intrusive memories from that painful experience will ruin your life somehow.
The future is unknown, far off, yet right in front of you.
There must be more to life than the constant worry of not being able to move forward.
You always hear about that “spark” for life.
But you’ve lost yours.
“Did I even really have one?”
It feels more like a fizzle.
Care-free youth is behind you, and all you can see are responsibilities and decisions – and it’s overwhelming!
When did life become monotonous and unfulfilling?
Every day is the same struggle, going through the motions, checking off boxes on the never-ending to-do list, and falling into bed at the end of the day.
Only, you can’t sleep. You lay awake mentally reviewing the day’s events, what you missed, what went wrong, what needs to be done tomorrow.
When you finally drift off, sleep is restless, and you awake too soon and start another meaningless day.
Life can be messy.
Whether you’re in the throes of adolescence or have graduated to adulthood, you can’t escape life’s challenges.
Past experiences may continue to hold you back. Or maybe it’s your inner voice constantly saying, “you’re not good enough.”
Current worries prevent you from moving forward.
I’m here to help you navigate your way through what’s standing in your way of living a fulfilling and authentic life.
The journey might not always be easy, but it will be worth it. Together, you will learn to face, and overcome life’s challenges, strengthen your resilience, and reignite the spark that lights you up.

Start Your New Beginning
Hi, I’m Jenny.
I’m a survivor of adolescence, young adulthood, and am currently full-grown adulting!
I get the struggle because I’ve been there.
Adolescence is one of the most invigorating parts of life. But it’s so often misunderstood by teens and their parents. Most people view adolescents as impulsive and risk-takers – they ignore consequences and make a series of mistakes. But that is precisely what is developmentally supposed to happen!
Then the things that make adolescence so exciting are the very characteristics that we lose when we become adults and responsibilities take over. Life becomes a series of tasks – being responsible for others and feeling uncertain about meeting the demands of everyone around you. You feel overwhelmed and at a loss on how to get it all done. The idea of letting others down can be crippling.
But you don’t have to stay trapped in these feelings!
I love helping teens connect with the essence of who they are during this phase of life and helping adults reconnect with that part of themselves.
