Jennifer is extremely relatable and helpful. It’s been amazing to have someone listen and understand and let me share while mixing in some little bits of advice. I greatly value her help and am very thankful for her!

Jennifer has been helping me tremendously. She is easily accessible & seems to really care. She has a friendly demeanor & has been providing me with strategies, techniques & links on how to cope with my anxious thoughts. I look forward to talking to her everyday.
