About Jill
She draws on proven, action-oriented methods to address depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, and self-esteem struggles. Jill also supports people navigating relationship tension, parenting stress, sleep problems, and major life transitions. Her background includes work in nonprofit programs, residential settings, and outpatient clinical practice.
Jill has led both individual sessions and group work, and she has experience assisting people who are involved with the Department of Human Services and the Department of Corrections. That variety shaped her practical skill set for helping clients make steady changes and manage real-world challenges.
Alongside her LMHC credential, Jill is a certified alcohol and drug counselor (CADC) and has completed eye movement desensitization and reprocessing training, which she integrated into practice in January 2019. She uses these tools alongside therapies that focus on values, mindfulness, and changing unhelpful thinking.

How Jill’s Methods Translate to Online Care
Jill uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal goals, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and try practical behavior changes. CBT offers specific tools for sleep problems, mood management, and many anxiety-related concerns. Jill has integrated Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) into her work since January 2019 to support people processing traumatic memories when appropriate.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jill works together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. That collaborative planning means therapy can shift as goals change or new issues arise.
If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online care can make it easier to attend regularly, fit sessions into a busy schedule, and use tools and worksheets between meetings. Talk with Jill about how to structure sessions so they work with your routine and goals.
