A safe, culturally responsive space to break the cycle of control, unburden past trauma, and find lasting personal peace.
I’m Jenelle, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps adults navigate self-worth, anxiety, relationship patterns, trauma, and the pressure to keep everything together.
You may appear strong, capable, and highly responsible on the outside while privately feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of what you actually need. Perhaps you’ve spent years being the one others depend on, adapting to what’s expected of you, or moving forward even when you feel emotionally exhausted.
Therapy can be a place to slow down, take an honest look at what’s happening beneath the surface, and begin understanding yourself in a deeper way. Together, we can explore the experiences and beliefs that have shaped how you see yourself, relate to others, and navigate your life without judgment or pressure to have everything figured out.
As a Black female therapist, I understand the importance of feeling genuinely seen, heard, and culturally supported in therapy. I provide a warm, identity-affirming, and insight-oriented virtual space where you can be honest about your experiences and explore what you truly want for yourself.
My approach is collaborative and grounded in the belief that meaningful change begins with understanding yourself rather than forcing yourself to become someone you’re not. Therapy can help you develop greater self-awareness, make more intentional choices, and build a relationship with yourself that feels more authentic and compassionate.
You don’t have to keep holding everything together alone. If you’re ready to understand yourself more deeply and create a life that feels more like your own, I’m here to walk alongside you.
Please contact me for a free phone initial consultation.
I look forward to helping you make the first step toward your well being.
Meet Jenelle
I have worked in the behavioral health field for 21 years, including 13 years supporting clients with complex mental health and substance use challenges. For the past 7 years, I have been in private practice, helping adults in Gainesville, Jacksonville, and throughout Florida navigate anxiety, trauma, self-esteem concerns, relationship patterns and major life transitions. Together, we look at the systemic and behavioral patterns that shape your life, allowing you to build healthier, more compassionate ways of coping and responding.
Services I Offer
I provide secure, confidential individual therapy for adults throughout Florida through convenient virtual sessions. My work integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Person-Centered Therapy to help you better understand yourself, navigate difficult emotions, and create meaningful change.
Whether you are struggling with anxiety, self-worth, relationship patterns, trauma, or a major life transition, therapy provides a space to slow down, gain perspective, and develop healthier ways of responding to yourself and the challenges in your life.
