She works predominantly with adults, addressing a range of issues, including trauma, depression, anxiety, family stress, low self-esteem, mood disorders, and various life stressors. Jenise employs therapeutic modalities such as mindfulness-based approaches, solution-focused therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), emotionally focused therapy (EFT), and EMDR when appropriate.
