Jennifer has really helped me connect some dots that I either ignored or did not notice my whole life. Been working through anxiety issues for a couple years now with her and I would not be in the spot I am right now without her. So thankful for her and her expertise. Would recommend her to anyone that is looking for help with anxiety and stress
