More about Jenna: I am currently a graduate student at Marymount University getting my master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I will be graduating in 2026 with my master's. In graduate school I am currently doing two research projects pertaining to the correlation of psychopathy and childhood trauma with juvenile offenders and the second research I am doing is looking at the integration of Family Systems Theory with military veterans who are struggling with addiction. I will be starting my practicum in the summer which will be at the Virginia Hospital Center where I will be doing counseling with individuals who are managing grief and loss as well as major life transitions from being in the hospital.

For work, I currently work at Life We Deserve LLC as a Registered Behavior Technician. In this job I am working with children ranging from the ages of 18 months to 12 years old who have been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. I am in my current job because of the internship I did at RWU. I really enjoyed my internship and wanted to continue my job in something similar until I was able to get my degree in counseling. I also knew that having the job I have now would give me an exceptional amount of experience of working with clients in order to apply it to my future job as a counselor.

I chose to go to graduate school to get my counseling degree because I have always had a passion for wanting to help others and the way I knew I would be able to do that the best would be in counseling. I am hoping in the future to eventually get my doctorate and continue my education in the field of mental health.
