Education & Experience

Jayna specializes in crisis, conflict, trauma and attachment with individuals, couples and families. She began her work with single parents and stepfamilies in 2002, fueled by her own experiences. In 2006, she founded The Bridge Across for Single Parents and Stepfamilies to provide coaching, education, and programs. She earned an MS in Counseling and post Graduate Certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy from University of Houston - Clear Lake, received her Master Stepfamily Coach certification from The Stepfamily Foundation, and earned her Professional Counseling License (LPC). Divorce, dealing with exes, managing single parent life, and remarriage all can bring up past issues as well as create traumatic experiences. EMDR helps to alleviate pain and trauma- both past and current- as well as strengthen the client's ability to handle issues moving forward.
