About me

I appreciate you, and the courage you show in seeking counseling. I will provide the sensitivity, kindness, and non-judgmental environment you seek. I have been counseling for over 30 years, and in private practice for over a decade. Allow me the privilege of providing a safe environment for you. We will empower you to achieve your goals, and heal any pain you may be experiencing. I am compassionate and understanding, as well as empathic and consistent. My listening skills are unparalleled. At Boston University, where I received my master's degree, I was taught to "start where the client is". Therefore, what matters to you is what matters to me. I am on your team. I understand how important it is to have someone who can offer validation...this is so rare and hard to find. It is so important to have someone tell us "Yes...you make sense!" This is what I offer you. I care deeply about each client's needs. I will work with you as a team, empowering you by developing a treatment plan unique to your needs. This plan will help you achieve your deepest desires and overcome your obstacles. I have experience working with people from all backgrounds and walks of life. I also have experience using many different methods of treatment. **I do not write letters for any reason. ie-medical, work, school, pet therapy, court, etc. Any unattended session not cancelled prior to 24 hours will be reported to BetterHelp. ** I will be here with you every step of the way, and I have faith in your ability to persevere!

Caring attentive a very good therapist

Written on Feb 24, 2023 after therapy with Jennifer for 1 month on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, grief, and coping with life changes

I have been talking with Jennifer now for about a month. I am going through the loss of my father and some struggles in my marriage, but a few other things. I’m a mess. Jennifer was always there, encouraging, giving advice that was appropriate to my situations, and also if she was there during the week, that was not during my session, if I needed to shoot her a message. I recommend you and anyone who needs a kind understanding therapist.
