Jenelle is thrilled to be able to offer free counseling to people of all ages at St. Andrew’s—kids, teens, parents, and adults from 18 to 108. Jenelle’s care and compassion has been such a gift to the kids, students, and adults of this congregation!
Previous to her current role, her favorite job ever was working as a Youth Minister at St. Andrew’s from 2011-2015. After earning her B.A. in Marketing & Human Relations from St. Cloud University, and M.A. in Marriage & Family Therapy from Argosy University, she became a licensed therapist in private practice. Then in 2023, St. Andrew’s called her to come back, this time to begin a mental health ministry to serve the community within the church.
She and her husband Adam have two kids, Tate and Reese, and a dog named Lu. Her hobbies include travel, experience food tours, watching movies, going to the park with kids, and being outside any chance she gets! Jenelle also enjoys creative play with her kiddos—kitchen/restaurant, dinosaurs, and construction site, to name a few. Watching her little ones find pure joy in the simplest of things is THE BEST.
