Jennifer gives the feeling of being very in tune with my needs and helps me create and work towards concrete goals, and guides me to celebrate my successes when I cannot see them myself.

Jennifer is great! We meshed well from our first meeting. I’ve been with her about six months. She is down to earth and I feel very “safe” with her. Her communication style is direct and she doesn’t “push” a topic if I’m not ready to visit it.

She just gets me. For the first time in my life I finally feel like someone sees me.
