About Dr. Jen

I’m Dr. Jen Greenberg, an Integrative Sex and Couples therapist based in the DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia) area. In July 2024, I successfully defended my PhD dissertation, Reading Romance: Examining the Impact of Reading Romance with Partners on Intimacy and Communication. My research explores something both deceptively simple and deeply powerful: how romance novels—especially when shared—can become tools for connection, communication, and healing.
