Prior to joining Eden, Jen served as a part of Rosewood Centers for Eating Disorders’ leadership team.

Jen’s dedication to the field of eating disorder treatment is rooted in her own journey toward recovery from an eating disorder. She has co-presented nationally on the impact of approaching clients from a place of compassion, curiosity, and connection, drawing on her experience as both a professional in the field and as an eating disorder survivor. Jen believes in treating clients with respect, understanding, and compassion, and that it is possible for everyone who struggles with an eating disorder to find the peace that comes with recovery.
