Jenny enjoys supporting teenagers as they explore their self-identity, navigate relationships, and adjust to life transitions. She is passionate about empowering women of all ages to discover their true self-worth and values, encouraging them to live a life consistent with these rather than what society and culture dictate.

She earned her Master's in Social Work from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and holds a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh.
