Hi, I'm Jenny Yuzon, (MSW, RSW) with over 15 years of experience working with individuals in a wide range of settings.
As a Certified Brainspotting Therapist, I specialize in somatic, trauma-informed therapy for people that feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, over-responsibility, and self-doubt. This may show up as people pleasing, perfectionism or shut down mode. This is usually how the nervous system responds to hard experiences and tries to keep you safe even when the threat is gone.
Beyond traditional talk therapy, we can explore patterns that live in our thoughts, posture, physiological responses, movements, and nervous system. Through my own healing and professional training, I discovered that real change happens when we include the body in the conversation. This experience now shapes everything I do as a therapist. I enjoy supporting others in finding these connections in themselves.
