About me

I am licensed in Arkansas with 15 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with depression, anxiety, family conflicts, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.

I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming issues that challenge you. I often use the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solutions Focused approaches to help my clients work their way out of what is distressing them. I find these approaches to be very effective, because you will begin to recognize what is going through your mind and how it affects your feelings and way that you react/respond to every day situations. I strongly believe “change your thoughts, change your life,” and using the CBT and Solutions Focused approaches can help a person to recognize how self-defeating thought patterns can hinder their growth.

Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage, and you can be proud of yourself for taking that step! I am a supportive cheerleader to my clients and care about your success. I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals!

I have been extremely happy with my experience with Jennifer. She listens but also challenges me at every meeting, gives me goals and actionable items that I can implement throughout the week.

Jennifer is amazing. She is honest, but not brutally. She is very understanding. Her best quality is the amount of thought she puts into her responses and rebuttals.

The best therapist on this app really makes you feel comfortable talking to her about anything, it’s like I’ve already knew her would highly recommend.
