Jill provides highly specialized care across the lifespan, welcoming children (ages 5-18), adults, couples, and entire families. She brings extensive experience to the Mindful Connections team, expertly navigating relationship concerns, childhood behavioral challenges (including ADHD and Autism), adjustment to divorce or custody shifts, grief, past abuse, gender dysphoria, and suicidal ideation.
Emotionally Focused Couples & Family Care: Jill integrates EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) to help couples and families break out of painful, repetitive arguments. Whether you are navigating marriage challenges, intimacy issues, infidelity, or parenting struggles, she helps you safely rebuild deep, secure connections.
Compassionate Parts Work (IFS): She utilizes concepts from IFS (Internal Family Systems) to help individuals explore the different, sometimes conflicting parts of themselves. This specialized framework is incredibly gentle and effective for processing past abuse, trauma, and deep-seated anxiety.
Actionable Mental Tools: By incorporating CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), Jill ensures that both adult clients and children leave her room with practical, everyday coping mechanisms to manage ADHD, executive dysfunction, depression, and overwhelming stress in real-time.
Faith-Integrated Counseling (Optional): For clients who wish to weave their spirituality into their healing journey, Jill is fully equipped to integrate your personal faith. She takes time to deeply understand your specific worldview and applies it exactly how you desire in your sessions.
