She earned her master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Northwest University and is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate in Washington State. Jenine has worked with clients across the lifespan, providing therapy for children, adolescents, and adults. She brings warmth, compassion, and a commitment to creating safe spaces where clients can explore their stories and move toward healing.

Practicing from a trauma-informed, integrative approach, Jenine draws from Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). She has advanced training in the Gottman Method, completing Levels I and II as well as specialized training in treating affairs and trauma. With this expertise, Jenine supports couples in navigating betrayal, infidelity recovery, and relational trauma, guiding them in rebuilding trust and strengthening connection.

Her clinical experience includes working in private practice and school-based settings, where she supported clients managing anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, trauma, and relationship challenges. These experiences broadened her ability to adapt interventions to diverse needs and collaborate effectively across different systems of care.

Before becoming a therapist, Jenine spent over a decade in human resources leadership roles. This background sharpened her skills in communication, conflict resolution, and guiding people through times of change. Today, she integrates these strengths into her counseling work, offering clients a grounded and holistic approach to growth and resilience.

Jenine is especially focused on the treatment of betrayal trauma and complex PTSD. She is passionate about helping individuals and couples heal from the pain of broken trust and empowering them to create new pathways toward intimacy, recovery, and connection.
