Jenna Patterson

Jenna brings the best of two worlds. She has expertise working with children in our local schools and she has specialized training in Play Therapy and children's mental health.

As a mother, Jenna understands the very real challenges parents face today, from screens and stress to supporting emotional development. She stays current with parenting research and uses that knowledge to support families.

Growing up in a military household taught her what big transitions really feel like: the anxiety of starting over, the resilience it takes to adapt, and the invisible stress that comes with constant change. Because she’s lived it, Jenna connects deeply with children facing instability, separation, or major life shifts.
