For women who hold it all together—until they can’t.
You're the one everyone leans on — but inside, you're unraveling.
I help high-functioning women heal the trauma, anxiety, and burnout they’ve carried for too long. Let’s stop surviving and start healing.
You don’t have to do this alone.
Anxiety & Trauma
Therapy for Women
in Farmington, CT and online in NY
Healing doesn’t mean doing more. I create a space where you can be your whole self—messy, hurting, unsure—and still feel heard, held and guided. If you’re ready to feel seen, be supported, and get your relationships solid, book a free consult. Move from critical to calm, from over-performing and striving to truly prioritizing yourself.

Hi, I'm Jenn
Licensed Clinical Social Worker & Relationship Life Coach (CT + NY) | Founder of Instar Healing
I’m a mom, bonus mom, lover of learning, travel, cooking and sitting on my deck watching the bears pass through…
I’m also a trauma-informed therapist who helps people understand what’s happening in their nervous system so they can create real, lasting change, not just learn to cope. My work is grounded in neurobiology, empathy, and evidence-based practices like: EMDR, IFS-Informed EMDR, Brainspotting and therapeutic yoga.
I believe healing happens when you feel safe, understood, and empowered to make choices that actually fit your life.
Clients often come to me when they’re high-functioning on the outside but stuck, exhausted or repeating the same painful patterns inside. Together, we slow things down, get curious about what your brain and body are doing, and build a way forward that feels both meaningful and doable. Clients often leave with more insight, clarity, self-trust and a strong sense of agency.
What Clients Say:

"You're exactly what I need...you call me out on my BS."
-
"Thank goodness you helped me get out of that relationship."
-

-
"It took me 52 years to finally find a therapist who gives me tools that are effective and I can feel change."
