My name is Jillynn (pronounced Jill-Lynn), and I am a Licensed Certified Art Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Ecotherapist, and Certified Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy practitioner, who brings my passion for art and the more-than-human world to my work as a clinician, clinical supervisor, and educator.

I identify as a queer, white, latinx, cisgender woman and find that my intersections are ever evolving. I believe that having a solid understanding of my positions of privilege and when and how these positions intersect with those of my clients is an essential framework when building a therapeutic relationship. I believe in decolonizing therapy and moving away from systems of care that perpetuate harm through restrictive labels that don’t account for the lived experience of a person within larger societal contexts.

I have spent the past 27 years working in a variety of community based, residential, day treatment, and therapeutic school settings with individuals from preschool to elderhood who have been significantly impacted by systemic oppression, relational abuse and mental health challenges. I have also taught as an adjunct instructor at Lewis and Clark College in the Art Therapy Graduate School department. I specialize in working with women, young adults and adolescents and have significant training and experience in supporting neurodivergent individuals, individuals healing from trauma and individuals in the LGBQTIA+ community.
