About Me

More maybe now than ever we need support. In our own unique situations dealing with COVID and its impact on us emotionally, financially, as parents, students, employees, mental healthcare is crucial. I understand and value the courage it takes to reach out for help. My primary goal is to provide a judgment-free place to grow through and past what is getting in the way of living a fulfilling life.

I've been working as a private practice counselor for over 8 years working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families.

Whether you need assistance developing specific attainable goals for the short or long term, or working through historical, current, or situational challenges as your counselor I feel honored to have the chance to walk alongside another's journey.

Jenn is amazing, wise and Absolutely wonderful to work with!

Written by K.A. on Dec 21, 2021 after therapy with Jennifer for 1 month on issues concerning relationship issues, and coping with life changes

Jen has been so helpful to me. She is incredibly wise but also very relatable. Talking to her feels like having an older sister or relative who has a very sophisticated understanding of the human mind. I have been so amazed by her ability to really listen and pull out insights from what I share, and have appreciated her open and non judgmental style. 11/10 would recommend.

Very attentive, intuitive, and knowledgeable. Amazing at reframing!

Written by A.P. on Feb 25, 2021 after therapy with Jennifer for 1 month on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, intimacy-related issues, self esteem, and coping with life changes

I came to Jennifer with relationship problems. I am a member of the LGBTQ+ community and she was able to still find ways to relate to my problems just like a heterosexual couple. Instead of being like other counselors and giving generic advice she found ways to get me to think about situations outside of the box. I would recommend her to everyone.

Jen is excellent! I feel heard and appreciated when we speak. She is extremely helpful, kind and considerate. Jen is just so easy to talk to and I enjoy our time.

I am so grateful to have found Jenn! She is even more than I was hoping to find in a counselor- kind, compassionate, great listener, funny, supportive, encouraging... she is a great communicator and very reliable. My life is better because she's in it!

I have greatly enjoyed my experience with having Jennifer as my counselor. She is smart, sound and she takes the time to fully listen. She truly cares. She has a warm, professional touch. I couldn’t ask for a better counselor and professional mentor.

Written by K.R. on Nov 06, 2020 after therapy with Jennifer for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, self esteem, and coping with life changes

This has been my first time ever seeking/having therapy. Jennifer made me soooo comfortable. It was very easy to open up to her and discuss key things to help better understand myself and things I am dealing with. Everytime we meet I feel like I am catching up with a really good friend. She's never pushy or judgemental. She definitely ignites thought provoking questions and overall has been super helpful.

Written by T.I. on Jan 28, 2019 after therapy with Jennifer for 2 months on issues concerning depression, and stress, anxiety

Jennifer is an amazing counselor! She takes the time to listen and get to know you as a person so she can give you the best tools to improve your mood and take charge of your life! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for guidance and support to help get through a difficult time.

Written by C.A. on Dec 03, 2018 after therapy with Jennifer for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating disorders, sleeping disorders, parenting issues, self esteem, and bipolar disorder

Jennifer has stood out to me compared to experiences with past therapists because she truly listens to me, I don't feel judged or belittled and shes helping me by giving me tools to work with rather than telling me what to do. She doesn't trap me in a box with a certain kind of therapy, she adapts to my needs. Shes kind and smart and so nice to talk to!

Written by H.A. on Nov 02, 2018 after therapy with Jennifer for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, and trauma and abuse

She has helped me tremendously, I have a long list of stuff and she has responded to me in a very caring way. If something isn’t working she just moves on to another to try out. She has a really amazing personality. I enjoy working with her.

Work with me!
