Excerpt of Jenny’s specialized and advanced training

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy | Level 2 and Certification Track | Have you ever felt like different parts of you are in conflict, one part wanting to heal while another part feels stuck in old patterns? IFS helps you understand and care for these inner parts, allowing you to heal past wounds with greater self-compassion. This approach is particularly effective for anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges, helping you reconnect with your authentic self.  https://ifs-institute.com/

Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) | Level 2, pending Level 3 | A trauma therapy that works with the brain’s earliest orienting responses, before emotions or defenses kick in. By slowing into this sequence, it helps the nervous system safely process deep-rooted trauma and resolve symptoms at their source. https://deepbrainreorienting.com/

Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) | Certified by the Center for the Treatment and Study of Anxiety, University of Pennsylvania | A gold-standard therapy for OCD that helps people face feared thoughts or situations while addressing compulsive behaviors, breaking the OCD cycle. https://iocdf.org/about-ocd/treatment/erp/ 

Treatment in OCD | Behavioral Training Therapy Institute BTTI I and Advanced Forum BTTI II | https://iocdf.org/professionals/training-institute/

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) | Basic & Advanced Trainings | If you feel stuck in painful memories, EMDR can help you process and heal. Whether you’ve experienced a single traumatic event or ongoing relational wounds, this therapy gently guides your brain in reprocessing distressing experiences. Using bilateral stimulation, like guided eye movements, EMDR helps reduce emotional triggers, allowing you to move forward with a greater sense of peace and control. https://www.emdr.com/what-is-emdr/

IFS-guided ERP | Supports traditional exposure work by addressing the rigid, shame- and fear-based protective barriers that often block engagement in ERP, allowing clients to access Self-energy and approach exposures with greater flexibility. Treating OCD with IFS and ERP

IFS-guided EMDR | Helps clients work through traumatic memories by first engaging protectors that hold shame and fear, reducing internal resistance, and allowing for safer, fuller participation in memory reprocessing. Treating Trauma with IFS and EMDR
