Jennifer has a down-to-earth, person-centered, direct style of therapy that is intended to help you make the changes you want to make. She believes that therapy is a collaborative endeavor that takes place within an encouraging, empathic, and non-judgmental environment. She strongly believes in tailoring a treatment plan to each client's individual needs, applying a variety of therapeutic and holistic techniques, and drawing on her clinical experience. Jennifer believes that every person has the potential to be successful, but at times may not have the skills to accomplish their goals. Therefore, the aim of therapy is to work with the individual or family to identify obstacles, strengths, and goals while providing guidance, support, and empowerment. Counseling is intended to help you gain understanding, find meaning, and make changes to obtain a better quality of life that you envision for yourself.

Jennifer specializes in working with tweens/teens and young adults who are experiencing various challenges and has extensive experience treating anxiety, depression, chronic illness, stress, and grief and loss. As a Certified Grief Counselor, Jennifer understands how difficult it can be to work through the stages of grief and can help you process your experience, teaching you tools to cope during this challenging time. Jennifer feels honored to be a part of your journey and looks forward to working with you.
