Jenne Bauhofer Ficker

Hey there, Im Jenné I have been untangling things since I was a little girl…. necklaces, ribbons, my baby dolls hair. Once I get started, it’s hard to stop, one thing leads to another and before you know it, the thing is straightened out and in working order again. Maybe that’s why in middle school I decided I wanted to be a counselor and that is what I’ve been doing for the last 38 years. I love my job. It is such a privilege to get to be involved in another persons life, helping them untangle life‘s messiness. I’ve had a few of my own tangles. I’ve navigated broken relationships, suffered the heartbreak of a family member’s addiction, divorce, and subsequent remarriage just to name a few! I know what it feels like to try to hold everything together as it’s coming apart.

We live in a world that is saturated with information, but we are lonely and more anxious than ever.

You don’t need to do this alone. We are built for community.

I’d love to walk alongside you and we can unravel the issues you are facing, together.
