Before my daughter began counseling, she was withdrawn and had unmanageable anxiety. Through counseling with Jennifer for the first time in many years my daughter began to develop a more positive self-esteem. Jennifer provided her with many strategies to help with her anxiety and her anxiety lessened. My daughter is now making better connections with friends and is opening up more. Jennifer’s dedication to my daughter has been remarkable. I can’t thank her enough for how much she has helped our family.

Philosophy
My approach is eclectic therapy that utilizes many different schools of thought to help heal the mind, body and spirit. It is my belief that the therapist must adapt to the client’s individual needs. I strive to provide my clients a safe environment that is empathic, nonjudgmental and secure.
Purpose
My goal is to connect to my clients by helping them feel, “understood”. I want all of my clients to realize that they are important and matter. I aim to help my clients reach their fullest potential by working through their emotional challenges that are interfering with their overall success and happiness.

My son suffered from ADHD and was constantly having behavior issues in school. I felt at a loss and didn’t know what to do. The school didn’t seem supportive of my son. Jennifer helped navigate the school system and help find supports to help him in school. She continued counseling my son outside of school. With her support and guidance we felt heard; more importantly my son felt understood.

I was really nervous about admitting there was an issue with my child. I felt it was important to make sure my child okay. We reached out to many therapists, but my child was unwilling to open up. When we were just about to give up on counseling, we found Jennifer. She was warm, friendly and had a young spirit that my child could relate to. Since, he started counseling, I can see my fun-loving child once again. I’m glad we made this choice.
