Hi, I’m Jodie!
I’m glad you landed here.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Perinatal Mental Health Certified (PMH-C), and Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist (ASDCS). My journey into counseling began after the stillbirth of my first daughter, an experience that highlighted the importance of compassionate, understanding care. Along the way, I also discovered my own neurodivergence, which deepened my commitment to helping others embrace their authentic selves through grief, reproductive trauma, autism in women and AFAB individuals, and life transitions.

I use a trauma-informed, client-centered approach, blending Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with humor and empathy to create lasting change. As the founder of Forward Wellness Counseling & Consulting Services, LLC, I’m dedicated to providing a safe space where healing can happen, and where clients can feel truly seen and supported.
