She is currently pursuing her PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision, focusing on Crisis and Trauma, at Walden University. Jillian is committed to deepening her understanding of mental health, particularly the physiological impacts of trauma, and aims to contribute to advancing research in this area within the field of psychology.

​

Passionate about supporting individuals in their journey toward self-understanding, connection, and self-compassion, Jillian continually enhances her approach to counseling through ongoing education, including webinars, research, and conferences. She believes that life’s greatest struggles often hold the most potential for personal growth and self-discovery. By creating a safe, supportive space for exploring painful or stuck moments, Jillian helps clients uncover their deepest desires, strengths, and wisdom, ultimately fostering greater self-compassion, freedom, and healthier relationships.

Jillian uses a strength-based approach that combines Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Brainspotting, and Neuroscience-Focused Counseling to guide clients through challenges such as life transitions, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She has extensive experience working with youth and families, particularly in navigating the challenges of the pandemic, social injustices, vicarious trauma, and daily life stressors.

 

Her work with organizations like the Boys and Girls Club of Sonoma County, Ceres Community Project, and Social Advocates for Youth has allowed Jillian to connect with individuals from diverse backgrounds and help them overcome adversity. She has supported clients struggling with depression, anxiety, ADHD, oppositional defiant disorder, insomnia, substance use, and trauma, providing a compassionate and understanding environment for their growth and healing.
