Hello! My name is Jen, former owner of the Iron Mountain Counseling Center and current owner of Morning Lark. I am a Board-Certified Professional Counselor and a Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional. I have over 12 years of experience working in the private practice sector.
As I branch away from Conventional Mental Health and into the space of Functional Psychotherapy and Holistic Health, I am hopeful that my recent studies in the field of Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI), Nutritional Psychology and Holistic Health will allow me the opportunity to continue contributing to the collective efforts of healing and wellness in our community.
I specialize in a functional "root cause" psychotherapy approach to helping people heal deep psychological wounds and imprints from childhood. Chronic stress and anxiety, unresolved trauma, malnourishment and spiritual starvation have a significant impact on our health and often show up in our bodies as chronic illnesses; autoimmune diseases, cancer, IBS, fibromyalgia and also as mental ailments; chronic depression, anxiety, PTSD and emotional dysregulation.
Modern medicine seeks to suppress symptoms and kill our body's messengers. I seek to help people trust their intuition and to listen to the wisdom their body expresses. The more we violate the natural rhythms of nature, the sicker we become. I advocate for food, movement and mindset as medicine and help people heal and restore their body back to it's natural order.
By treating the whole person and teaching people to understand their symptoms as the body expressing its wisdom and intelligence, I am better able to help people restore their sense of agency and take an empowering approach to their own healing. The body has an amazing ability to protect and heal itself and it is always working for us, not against us!
If you, or someone you know, is physically, emotionally, spiritually or mentally afflicted, and think you may benefit from this approach, I would be honored to work with you. Inquiries can get more information, and can also reach out to me directly, via my website, www.morninglarkhealing.com or email, jen@morninglarkhealing.com.
With Gratitude,
Jen
